Catching On

I always knew Evelyn paid attention, but I never realized how close! She has caught on to....

1) How to sincerely apologize- Last week at daycare Evelyn reportedly hit her friend, Ava. Since the girls were the only 2 attending daycare, Shelly explained it was pretty quiet during lunch due to the tension. Suddenly the silence was broken when Evelyn turned to Ava and said, "Ava. My sowwy. You." (Ava, I'm sorry. Love you)

2) Fib- Mommy: What did you have for snack?
Evelyn: Cwackers.
Mommy: Crackers!?
Evelyn: Noooo!

3) How to discipline- When Aunt Jen's dog, Oliver, acts up Evelyn is the first to say, "No, no no Ohh-vuhr. Go!"

4) How to order take out- After Jared ordered a pepperoni & cheese pizza the other night, we later overheard Evelyn on her play phone ordering, "Pepper. Cheese. Pizza. Pwease."

4) And lastly, how to eavesdrop- This afternoon we overheard the neighbor kids squabbling outside the living room window. Evelyn looks to me and says, "Mommy. Hear dat? Boys." Then she pointed to the window (which had the shade drawn) and said, "[Open] dat. Pwease." She was totally trying to spy on the neighbors argument. 20months and already a gossip queen!
