"Evrit, you brought in the groceries, but where did you put them?" Here they are, Mom! (He said this with a disgusted tone to his voice as if I was so silly for not being able to find the animal crackers and bandages in the refrigerator.)
Silly kids with Slinkies
A little wrestling ...
... started out as fun between siblings.
However, let's just say it did not end well.
At soccer practice, I was a shark, and my job was to kick other people's balls away. I did very well at this game.
Do you believe it?! I actually ran and played soccer with my team at practice this week. And I was the only person on my team to score a goal. Woohoo! (Momma is so proud!)
I know this isn't a great picture, but it captures his current soccer game face. Saturday, he told me he was too sleepy to play. I didn't get any pictures of Madeline because I had a kickball game at the same time. However, I hear she did GREAT!
Way to go, Madeline. Kick that ball.
And there she is at goalie. She did such a great job whatever position she was playing.
Go Blue Rangers!
Ready for some soccer!!! The season got underway this weekend. Evrit played in his first game ... Well, he was really more of a spectator. Turn around buddy. The ball is RIGHT THERE.
He was far more comfortable playing on the sidelines with Uncle Lee.
Madeline had a really great soccer practice this week. She got out there and worked hard ... and I think she even had fun. Go Blue Rangers!
Evrit had his soccer practice this week too. He did a good job listening and following instructions.
And I KNOW he had a good time. He loves that he is playing "sock-ball" on a "team" and will have "games". Go Tigers!
He has it all set up - rock and all. Now for the trick...
YEA! Mom ... I did it. Flip ober! (I thought the goal was to ride the ramp, but if you say so...Yea, Evrit!)
Okay Mom - Help me get my stuff for school. I love my backpack.
NEED HELP!
"Too Heaby, Mom." I can't go to school today afterall. My stuff is "too heaby".
Evrit liked driving too, but when it wasn't his turn, he preferred dragging his hand ... or hair ... in the water.
Evrit met with his new teachers, Ms. Anneke and Ms. Mildred, on Friday and was able to look around his new classroom.
I think he is going to like the playtime best.
He definitely thinks he is a "big kid" now and is ready for a booster seat like Madeline's. A few more months, little one...
Practicing a little safety - This buckle isn't easy to fasten.
"Flip ober" - Evrit is trying to flip his skateboard over.
"Ah Man! Flip it ober, skateboard."
Swing, Batter, Batter!
Or is he a conked out tennis player? (As long as there is a ball, he is ready to play!)
"Jup oba" (jump over) Evrit has been watching Malcolm do skateboard tricks and is now trying tricks of his own.
Evrit ate some cookies and cream ice cream and then fell asleep. His face makes me think he has been eating dirt. Sweet sleeping baby (even when dirty).
See my shiner? Malcolm elbowed me in the face Friday night. It is now Monday morning, and the bruise is really showing up (even though the picture does not seem to do it justice). I was very tough through the experience.
Momma asked, "What does your shirt say, Evrit?" I replied, "Daddy love ME!"
