mr. "yeah buts"

and then there's little evs, who will soon transition from being out baby to being a big brother. he transitioned quickly from being a silent, stealthy, mischievous toddler, to a quite loud and verbal, mischievous little boy. i am more surprised with the things that have come out of this mouth.

In no particular order:
-i don't like bruno mars. His last name is like the planet mars and I like saturn
-first of all .... (arm gesture), second of all... (arm gesture),and that's all I have to say about that
-yeh yeh "so that the stuff you use to clean your hands." evan "you mean hand sanitizer?"
-"baba, i like you so, so, so, so much. you are the best baba in the world."
-"mama, i like you so, so, so, so much. you are the best mama in the world."

he's quite the dancer (although dylan's dance moves include doing the dab, followed by the splits, and sometimes the cha, cha, cha). evan will do his martial arts/ninja moves with the most serious fighter game face to "nija music" supplied by ok google. i've been careful to not be so gender biased with the boys, and for whatever reason evan just gravitates to light sabers, pirates, guns/cannons, darth vader, darth maul (i don't even know who that is), nijas/ninjago, etc. very boy, a little disturbingly dark (which i'm hoping is just a short phase that he'll outgrow). from an activities standpoint, he loves kindergym, still is overconfident with his swimming, just started guitar lessons last week, and will start soccer next week. We'll see how long those activities can be sustained. he did start cornerstone full time last fall - but just the am session. He seems to be transitioning well, and wants to have play dates with his buddies in his class. similar to dylan, he was pretty dominant in the last easter performance. im pretty proud about that.

he's always in motion, very independent, full of joy, and "yeah buts", has an incredible sweet tooth and excuses for just about anything. he still comes in and snuggles in the morning, until he hears dylan or if brian decides to go downstairs. he definitely has serious #FOMO (fear of missing out) issues. i know i'll miss it when he comes into our room to "bao bao shuei jiao" but also concerned that our CA king size bed is too small for our expanding family. I've been trying to protect myself and baby in bed at night when the boys are jumping around. it will be a totally different scenario when this baby is out!
