EVELYN

Oh my, where to begin with this one?
Evelyn is 3, VERY 3! She gave herself the nickname Ev-Ev when she was two and we often shorten it to just Ev. She responds to all three of her names in addition to whoever she may be at the moment. Right now, she is Todd. Yep, it doesn't matter if she is a male or female character, but we must call her by her current name or she will correct us. She has been Peter Pan, a pink pig, Mickey, a girl fox, and Sunshine Bear in a single hour. It is hard to keep up. Needless to say, Evelyn is extremely creative and our spunky little kid. She is definitely the "ham", taking her soon-to-be-replaced role of the "baby" very seriously. She is very outgoing and makes friends wherever we go. She makes us laugh continuously with her overall "cuteness". She is just absolutely adorable.
Evelyn is also very bright and eager to try anything. During school time with Madeline, she wants to do school too. (She doesn't seem to understand that she is 3 years younger than Madeline.) I have to have a lesson of some sort planned for her also. She has already whipped through 2 pre-school workbooks! I am teaching her letters, numbers, and shapes with flashcards and having her trace them. She is doing quite well with that and of course feels very important and "big".
Evelyn is also our daredevil. She was the one who walked at 8 months old and hasn't slowed down since. She will climb anything, jump off of anything, and be the first to try any physical activity. Not only will she try, but she always succeeds, making us just shrug and say, "Of course Evelyn can do it!"
She is very excited about having a new baby in the house and I know that she will be a wonderful big sister!
We love you Ev-Ev!
