Winter
Milo is upstairs taking a nap,and Steve is out of town, so while the house is quiet, I figured now would be a good time to catch up on the blog. Milo is basically super funny - he somehow, even though he barely talks is able to communicate - and when he does, most of the time, it is just funny. He will often mischievously walk over to something, like the tv, look at Evan, and casually turn it off. This is not Evan's favorite thing that he does, but most of the time, will end up saying "MILO!!!" and getting up to turn it back on. Milo will always wait until Evan is back in his seat, sitting quietly, before he will go over casually to the tv again. His face is hysterical.. like hmmm, wonder what will happen if I turn this off - Click! Evan is really great about not losing his temper most of the time. Drop offs for Mymy at school have been easy, mainly asks to be put down and says "bye bye". Every once and a while he would rather be help by one of his teachers when we leave. He is a huge stuffed animal fan, loves his Puppies, and Elmos. He is still a big thumb sucker, in fact he sucks so voiciferously that he is sucking off his thumbnail... eewwwww.
Evan has been good also lately, school is going fairly well - it is clear he is above level in most of the subjects. His main issue is that he puts in the absolute minimum effort possible. In fact he will spend twice the time figuring out how to cut corners - for example - he needs to write his spelling words once a week 3 times each, so what does he do? He figures out what letter each word has in common... they all have an I, and will go through all the words writing the i's first... then he will fill in the other letters of the word around it. He is not a huge fan of being corrected - often shouting "I DON"T CAAAARE". But for the most part, he sits down when told, does his homework, and doesn't complain. Yesterday was his holiday concert at school, Momo joined us there, he sang 2 cute songs. Was certainly more into it than he was last year. All in all things are good with the two kids, and getting even better every day.
