only one more of these posts after this one - which is probably a good thing since it took me 2 and a half weeks after ev hit 22 months, to post this.... :l
ev's official 22 month (belated) pic - taken today...
(he's all red bc we were outside, in florida, in JUNE... enough said!)
and so, at 22 months, evan...
...thinks baseball (or bay-hall) is the GREATEST THING EVER. like there are temper tantrums when i try to put on any other tv show. we watch baseball games on repeat thanks to dvr. and then he sets up his t-ball stand in front of the tv to "Play Along" with the actual MLBers.
...has become a pro at eating lunch and/or dinner in the backseat of the car enroute somewhere. not sure if this is a good or bad thing?! i do however know that it's our reality somedays. and that i am quite a good chicken-nugget-hander-outter from the front seat. ;)
...likes to tell me all about cookie, big bird, eeeeeeee (ernie), elmo, and grover. but doesnt care to watch sesame street.
...thinks brushing his teeth (himself) is one of the funnest events of the day.
...is still a huge fan of the beach. talks about the beach. loves birds at the beach. and wants us to take him to the beach. :)
...tells me "poooooooooooooooooo-le" from the backseat each time he realizes that we are heading in the direction of home. why? bc he's psyched to see the poodle. (which is his name, forget "toby"). ;)
...will now sport a sunhat bc i told him it looks cool. yayyyyy :) momma loves hats. :)
...can be won over with a bag of apple dippers from mcd's (minus the caramel). this buys me a good 7-10 minutes in any store. i, in turn, have become a great 7-10 minute shopper. ;)
...loves to read me the grover book about a monster at the end >> and then have me read it to him 3 times in a row.
...dances. really well. :)
...thinks its always his turn to talk on the phone.
...and, reminds me to be excited, happy, and thrilled about the little things in life, almost on a daily basis.
****
and with that, hopefully im back in blog-land this week. last week was rough work-wise. ;)

How cute! I love all the things he does. It's such a great idea to document all of those.

Susan... I can't even finish reading this post right now. I have to send you an *e-High Five* for the chicken-nugget-hander-outter talent that both you and I have in common! And the ability to adapt that our kids have in common! Let me tell you, I have 2 kids (ages 5 & 1), work FT, law school PT, (and there's hubby of course!), and yes, sometimes lunch or dinner is in the backseat! And not just nuggets... the apple dippers (fries occassionally), and the drinks! Oh! Getting the 5 year old to give the 1 year old his apple juice or chocolate milk w/out squeezing and spilling it everywhere! Yes! Oh yes! I can TOTALLY relate! Our kids are angels for dealing w/what we put them through! :-) Ok... now let me go back and read the rest of your post! lol...

Evan would love my house. There is almost always baseball on, thanks to the wonder that is the MLB Extra Innings package. ;-)

love that toby no longer has a name. b/c really, why would he need something so descriptive? ;)
