He's Sick I Swear! -post by Mommy

I tried to put Evan to sleep tonight, and he did fall into a deep sleep but only to be woken over and over again by his terrible cough.  So I brought him downstairs since he started asking for "Daddy, Nana, PopPop".  We watched the movie "Up" and had some popcorn with Daddy.  Daddy pointed out that at only 2 years old Evan has already mastered the perfect reach into the popcorn bowl without taking his eyes off the tv.  I thought maybe just sitting up and relaxing with his Daddy would make him relax and maybe help him feel better but an hour into the movie Evan lost interest.  If anyone saw him about 2 hours later they would have thought he was really really sick.  His little head was drenched with sweat and his cheeks were bright red and he looked completely exhausted.  It wasn't because he was so sick.  It was because he spent the last 2 hours jumping off of the couch onto the mountain of pillows on the floor.  You should have seen his face.  He would climb up over the pillows onto the couch, stand on the very edge, holding on with only his toes, his tongue would curl up on the side of his mouth, and just when you didn't think his eyes could get any bigger he would JUMP!  and land in the pillows in a fit of giggles.  Then he'd start all over again and say "Mommy! Watch my Evan!"  And after a few hours of this he fell asleep, without coughing, on that very same couch.  And then it began to rain.  It was a nice way to end a nice day with "my Evan".
