Evey's ready...

That's right, Evey is ready to be a "car washer". Anyone want to come by to get their car clean?..she's in business! She really does love our van. Not only does she clean it, she also loves to sit with her daddy and steer and she does NOT like to get out when we arrive at home. She loves to sit in all the seats, explore the cubbies, crumple up mommy's important receipts, eat old and disgusting crumbs off of the floor and who knows what else. That little character!

And she's ready for HALLOWEEN! Everyday this month when she sees spiders, ghosts, pumpkins, decorations, etc, she shouts, "Halloween"! It's just soooo cute! One of our neighbors has large spiders out front and everytime we pass by Evey says, "black weedo" (black widow). She loves bugs and bug books. So funny! My sweet sister Cynthia sent Evey this adorable outfit. Don't you just love it. So, ofcourse I had to make bows to accessorize it!

Evey is also ready to be 2 even though her mommy is not. She is 22 months now and has been saying that she is 2 for the past 5-6 months. Every time we ask her how old she is, she'll reply with "two". She says any word you ask of her except for "one". We have worked and worked on this but nope, she's as determined as ever to stick to being "two". I wonder when she does turn 2 if she'll keep with it?!

She is now talking in sentences like, "I want some", and "I want a turn". The other night Evey woke up around midnight. At first she was sad but once she was awake she could not stop talking. I layed her down several times to go back to sleep but she would just cry and I didn't want the other kids to wake up so I just layed on the floor beside her crib. Well, she had story after story to tell me. Her stories come in one word chunks but I got the idea, "Mommy, Caden, trampoline, owie, finger." Another one, "Balloon, outside, sky, bye-bye." A few days previous she had let go of her helium balloon and was so surprised and shocked that it just kept floating higher and higher. Poor thing. She hasn't been able to stop talking about it since. Another one, "Halloween, ghost, dark, carry(scary)." I think I started falling asleep during her stories because all of a sudden she peered over the crib looking down at me and shouted, "mommy, WAKE-UP"! I don't think I was responding properly. I just got such a kick out of her. Finally, at about 1 am I just had to leave the room and let her cry for a minute. She soon fell asleep. I guess it was good for her to get her thoughts out. I realized from this experience how much she is growing up. I don't love that fact but at least each stage of her little life is exciting for us to witness. We just love her dearly!
