Dear Evan! You're two years old today!!



Dearest Evan!

I really am just in awe of you everyday and the hilarious, determined, independent and happy 2 year old you are.  You truly go with the flow!   You laugh out loud anytime you hear the word funny or someone else is laughing, which in turn cracks us up and you laugh again! 

We love playing golf with you, driving a golf cart with you, and just being outside.  You love your Paw Patrol toys and are definitely a vehicle, car, garbage truck, motorcycle boy in ways Dec never was.  But you have a healthy fear Dad scared into you about cars coming on road and parking lots and always love to hold our hand!

As your language is exploding, I get sad about losing your personal "funny and cute" uses of words!  Whenever you want to do something alone, which is often,  you clearly say I ME I ME I ME!   You sort of know colors but more by milk cup colors of childcare friends.  You see yellow, you call it Jaxson.  You see red, you call it Gaga... which you can already say his full name but at least prefer Gaga more!   And it is getting less and less, but when I'm doing something you don't want me to do like sunscreen or diaper, you call me my daycare name, Brookie Cookie and not Mama!  

You still point out groups of everything as 2!!  I love your counting skills :)   Declan always asks you how many _______ in the world?  TWO you say while holding up 1 finger!  
 
It melts my heart everytime you get your brother to play or wrestle, say Declan's name with a smile when he enters a room, and how you just totally keep up with him! We  had a fun family filled Birthday week celebrating you at Fox Hills in WI and can't wait to see what the wonderful two's will be like for us! 

We love you for all that you are, and all that you will be! 

Love, Momma
