Let's see....going over a whole year of changes is kinda hard! So this might be a bit random... :)
Evelyn has such a huge imagination and is SO fun to listen to while she's playing...she comes up with the most random/funny things. Her biggest imagination thing this past year has been in the invention of her "imaginary family", which consists of "her daughters" and her "old dad". She talks about them all the time while she's playing and the other day she even got upset while playing duck, duck, goose with her neighbor friend and she came to me crying that Maddie had "pushed" one of her daughters down...haha! goodness...One time she came in the house and was like, "ugh! You kids are embarrassing me!" I don't know what about but it was funny :)
After Evelyn turned three last year she started preschool at the CDC on base....last year she went T/TH and this year she's going MWF. She missed the cutoff for Pre-K at the elementary school which is why I upped her to three days a week but she enjoys it and I really like her teacher, which she had last year. She has one friend in her class this year that was in her class last year so that's been nice. They seem to be pretty inseparable in class. She's got quite a few friends from church/school/our street/my friends kids. She invited 8 little girls to her birthday party and main was it crazy! fun but crazy :) Anywho....she seems to really like school and always has good reports so all is well there!
She's also in a "real" Sunday School class at church and loves it...she loves singing time and her singing teacher and loves her "little class". Apparently she and another girl Aliza are just inseparable in that class which I didn't find out for weeks cuz Evelyn never talked about her. I saw them holding hands walking to class though and Aliza's mom said that Aliza's come out of her shell a bit with Evelyn by her side which is good! Glad she's helping her little friends out :) They're pretty cute together though. Evelyn can be fairly shy sometimes so helping out an even shyer friend is good for her. She's really quite obsessed with her friends.....the first thing she asks me every day she gets out of school is "who's coming over to play and/or who's house are we going to go play?" She asks all throughout the day who can play with her...gets a little old sometimes...
Last year Evelyn took Gymnastics, which she really liked, and this year she is doing a ballet/tap class, which she really likes too. One of her besties from church is in her class and her mom is one of my besties so that works out good for all of us :) She looks adorable in her little dance outfit and watching her dance at home is pretty funny! As some of you've seen from the videos I've put on Facebook :) She is SO funny!
I honestly don't know what to go over....a year really is hard! So here's some of the funny things I"ve posted on Facebook from the past year :)
Evelyn (babbling on about Disney World, princesses, herself...)...." and I will grow up and I will fall in love and I will get married and you need to make me a married dress so I can go to Disney World."
Evelyn was looking at my wedding scrapbook today and she started "crying" so I was like, what's the matter? and her reply: "I wanted to be at your wedding!!!" haha! she's so wedding-struck right now!
Evelyn: "I don't want to be smart, I only want to be beautiful"
Then she told me I took her "smarts" away.... Haha! Funny child....

Evelyn: "Mommy's have hips, kids and daddy's don't have hips, only mommy's"
haha! she definitely was NOT talking about hips ;)
haha! she definitely was NOT talking about hips ;)
I love how Evelyn calls "hoodies", "puddings"...don't know how she came up with that one but it's cute! :)
so I came downstairs after putting Andrew down for a nap and Evelyn was in the bathroom with the water running so I was like, what are you doing? Evelyn: "washing my underwear." me: "um...why??" Evelyn: "because somebody got a little poop in them, but it wasn't me." me: "well who was it then?" Evelyn: "my tiger"
oh boy... :)
oh boy... :)
Evelyn (at church): "I think Jesus is driving here to teach us"
"It tastes like boogers. Like when we have a booger party! We can have a booger party in October!"
My child is so random....

me: have good dreams tonight Evelyn!
Evelyn: I can't dream. Only on Thursday can I dream.
Oh kids....so funny!
Evelyn: I can't dream. Only on Thursday can I dream.
Oh kids....so funny!
Evelyn (babbling on about Disney World, princesses, herself...)...." and I will grow up and I will fall in love and I will get married and you need to make me a married dress so I can go to Disney World."
Evelyn was watching "The Lorax" and when the guy was headed for the waterfall she was like, "he's in a little bit of trouble!" haha! she's been so funny lately
Evelyn playing with her pretend babies after they had "run away"....
"I need to teach them a lesson"
"I need to teach them a lesson"
April 9
Evelyn's been super funny saying prayers lately...tonight at dinner she prayed that we would be "strong and healthy and strong like super heroes"....and then she went on from there about castles and unicorns and princesses..... :)
April 28
Evelyn: "Mom, your hips go up when you laugh"
Once again these aren't hips she's talking about...which of course I couldn't stop laughing and then she was like, see! oh kids!!!

April 30
Evelyn: Mom, shorts aren't beautiful.
Me: I'm wearing shorts, am I not beautiful?
Evelyn: No, you're beautiful but shorts aren't.
This girl will try anything not to wear pants/shorts/jeans! Skirts and dresses allll the way!

Evelyn: No, you're beautiful but shorts aren't.

June 15
So for the past long while Evelyn has had a pretend "family of bears" living in our house...sometimes they're not nice and she can't even go upstairs by herself cuz she's scared and then sometimes, like today, they are nice and she was playing playdoh with the kid bear....haha! such a funny girl :)
June 18
And a new rapunzel dress! Little big but it'll last longer Evelyn was impatient for it so I asked what do you think? And she said, "it's good enough." Uh...thanks?
June 19
on the way home from errands Evelyn was sitting back there, just babbling away, non-stop, and I was like, Evelyn! can we just have one minute of quiet? and Evelyn said..."Mom, girls talk a lot." oh goodness...then a couple minutes later she asked, when are we moving? me: "why do you want to move?" Evelyn, "moving is fun!" um...no.... she's so funny though
June 22
Evelyn has all of the sudden gotten very formal with me...the past couple days it's all "mother" this and "mother" that....although she pronounces it more "mudder" pretty funny....
June 26
Evelyn: I slept good last night!
me: um, no you did NOT!
Evelyn: Never mind.
SO TIRED!!!!! She slept AWFUL....
me: um, no you did NOT!
Evelyn: Never mind.
SO TIRED!!!!! She slept AWFUL....
July 15
Evelyn: "mom I can't play dolls on the table with your feet up there. My doll is about to have a baby and she can smell it."
July 18
Evelyn, in her prayer tonight, "thank you for letting us be a flamily and that we don't die or go to jail."
Um...ok? Haha! She's really been noticing in shows, like Rugrats, where the kids don't have moms so I told her that Chuckys mom got sick an died and now she's fixated on it...not quite sure where she got the whole jail thing though! Definitely haven't watched anything for that. She keeps saying, "don't put me in jail!" though...oh kids...

July 23
Evelyn was going potty and started crying so I was like, what's wrong? Her response, "I love you so hard and sweet!" haha!!! Ok?? random little child....
August 9
Evelyn has these imaginary kids she randomly will talk about and pretend with and tonight she comes in and says, "kids! You're embarrassing me!" Haha!!! I don't know why and what they did but it was just random and funny
Sept 1
Mark was kicking a ball around with Evelyn and very gracefully broke a window...ugh!...although Evelyn's response was pretty funny...she came in and said, "we're gonna need some glue"
Sept 3
Evelyn had to go to her room tonight cuz she wasn't listening and she was up there crying and carrying on so when she finally calmed down and came down stairs she told me, "when I was up there crying I was singing a song and it said, you shut my door and now I'm blue." HAHAHA! I couldn't stop laughing....she's so funny!
Evelyn was very appalled that Mark wasn't having friends over for his birthday "party" (which was just dinner at home with cake)....kids are so funny!
so we were walking around a store last night and Evelyn see's a dress and says, "I have the perfect hips for that dress!" except of course, she wasn't really meaning hips, but we still haven't corrected her cuz it's MUCH less embarrassing to have people over hear her talking about hips rather than what she really means!!! this girl sure is funny though!!!!
And here's some pictures of her from nearly every month of the past year :)
