2 Years Ago Today...

Daddy Diaries, May 31, 2010
(Click on the link above.)
2 years ago tonight, we were anxiously awaiting Evan's arrival. Above is a link to an early Daddy Diaries entry from the night before our first son was born. Tomorrow, Evan celebrates his 2nd Bithday!

Evan Made the Fan Page on Leslie Patricelli's Site.

I sent a photo to Leslie Patricelli, she writes a line of children's books that's one of Evan's favorites. She posted on her website in the "Fan Gallery." In this photo Evan was reading "Quiet Loud."

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".

A Little Birdie -post by Mommy

For the first time, I think a little birdie was the last one to hear that Evan's birthday had been pushed back till Evan was feeling better.  He showed up right at our doorstep, right in time for dinner.  Unfortunately there was no birthday party today so the little birdie went home to his mommy who was carrying on in the tree behind us.  I guess a little birdie had told her that there was no party today but she forgot to tell her little birdie.

Birthday Party Postponed...

You'd never know it looking at this photo of Evan, but he's sick. He has some sort of viral infection and an ear infection in both ears, so Saturday's (So far I've been able to type 3 sentences in 3 hours. Baby keeps waking up. I'm going to have to cancel this blog entry. Enjoy the picture.)
