Puzzles, Puzzles, and more Puzzles.











We have been doing puzzles since Evans birthday at the beginning of February. We started out with 24 piece ones and he mastered them in a few days. Quickly moved onto 36 and 45 piece puzzles and he quickly mastered them. I bought a few 60 piece puzzles and he is amazing and so patient when he completes them. We've progressed to 100 piece puzzles and after a half an hour or so he completes them without any help. He will complete puzzle after puzzle if we spread them out on the kitchen table, he will move from chair to chair completing puzzles. The Ravensburg brand seems to be the best puzzle quality.

Lots of funny Evanism's lately, as I was trying to clean up the kitchen I heard "Hey, Mom", "yes, Evan", "Give me a smile". I have no idea where this came from, but it brought the biggest smile to my face, it was priceless. Last night he asked where he was going tomorrow, I told him Grandmas. He told me when he goes to work he is going to take me to Grandma's.
Evan has been busy singing songs, the ABC's, anything he hears at preschool, and the entire refrain from Mr Roboto by the Styx. He heard his 7 year old cousin singing it and after watching it on Youtube a few times he mastered it. I'll have to post a video.

Evan was an every day Super Hero model at Fisher Price last week. It was so adorable, hoping to see him on the advertisements in the fall. He was the last model of the day and they told us they wished they all followed directions like him. I would of loved to of had those pictures. Maybe we'll recreate the costume this summer, it was all created with things a family would have at home.

Sara has become Daddy's girl. She cries when he leaves the room and prefers Daddy over Mommy. Daddy isn't home everyday like me so when he is he is the hero. She is running, she loves to wear shoes. I've been trying to do her hair each day, we usually can get her to keep a little pony tail or barrette in for a few hours.




I thought the Dem Bones video ended a year ago, Sara discovered it and carries the case around until we put it on. It really is a catchy song and Evan loves to watch it once again.

Our house is always chaotic and we never seem to stay caught up for long but its always full of smiles and laughter.
