Evan Update

My son loves basketball. And it's not even basketball season. It's actually hurricane season, but that's a blog for another day (like tomorrow when Tropical storm Hanna hits). But Evan has a love for sports. He's obsessed with basketball. He can spot a hoop and every hoop in our neighborhood or even while we are driving. He loves baseball, football and soccer as well.

He watches basketball and celebrates each point. And his glee is shown by his jumping and cheering. It's being baseball season, his bedtime routine does include watching the first 20 min of the Red Sox games. And it's not our idea (anymore). He wants to watch it. And he finally is able to recognize the home team.... Red Sox.

But yesterday was the first day of the NFL. So of course Evan will be wearing his Patriots Jersey (you'll have to wait until Sunday to see which one :). And the funny thing is that Evan tends to associate baseball and basketball with his daddy and football with mommy. What does that say? It says we like sports :)

So Evan will have no choice to like sports. But don't get us wrong, he has other interests: his Panda (who is now "broken" and I have to share the sad news that Panda will have to now live on the top shelf of the closet-- as Evan has gnawed his nose so much that he has exposed a dangerous screw also known as his nose)... he loves reading books. I am not sure if it the time he's spending with mommy and daddy but he enjoys reading his books and playing "I, Spy". The latest 'new' thing is coloring... why so new b/c as stated above, Evan likes to put things in his mouth. And he also loves bubbles:
Well, that's the Evan update... everyday is an update... everyday he is saying new words and it's amazing how much of a sponge he is. So you really have to watch what you say and do, b/c he learns to mimic you and laughs!!

Can't believe the summer is over.... guess Hurricane Hanna is a sign summer is over.
