A home of my own

If you are a faithful and aware reader, you might remember that I mentioned a while back that there was something that may change my life forever lurking in the shadows. This will be a good change, I think. It is time for this change to take place. The change is...Mommy's going to have another baby!!!

HAHA! No, no. Just kidding! That would be horrible! Just the thought of sharing the attention with another child makes me shudder.

Actually, the change is that we are going to be moving into our new home in May. Mommy and Daddy took the plunge and have pretty much bought a house. I probably shouldn't be saying anything, because now we will be jinxed and it will all fall through...(Knock on wood!).

This house that we have bought actually belonged to Daddy's grandparents for almost 50 years. Daddy actually grew up across the street from it and spent a huge portion of his adolescence in this house. Obviously, you can tell it's OLD! It was built in the FIFTIES! You know, the olden days... Anyway, the closing date is on May 15th. That gives Mommy and Daddy just barely enough time to pull up the pretty blue and green shag carpeting and maybe paint a few walls before my birthday party on Memorial Day weekend. Here is a picture of my new home:





Did you see the shag carpet and wood paneling? Psychedelic, man!

I guarantee that this house will be looking stylish and new when Mommy and Daddy are done with it.

Tubular!

Just an update...

I went to see Dr. Scolaro, an ENT surgeon, this morning. He looked at my ears and tested my hearing. The results were mixed, but generally positive. My left ear showed that it is hearing normally and had a beautiful curvy line printed on paper showing that. However, my right ear wasn't so curvy. Tests showed that I have some fluid in my right ear and have a harder time hearing as a result. This wasn't too surprising, as the most recent ear infection was in my right ear. Mommy and Dr. Scolaro think that the fluid may be left over from that last infection and have decided to keep an eye on me for the next 6 weeks. If the fluid clears up and I don't have any other ear infections, I won't have to have tubes put my ears. If the opposite happens, then I guess I end up with a couple of extra holes in my head...

In other news, I have discovered the joy of wearing a bicycle helmet and no pants. How liberating!!!

Thrifty Treasures

Yesterday was a great day!! Mommy, Nana, and I went to some garage sales and found some awesome stuff.

This is a winter hat that mommy couldn't pass up for herself. And no, I am not sleepwalking.

Here is a Wiggles guitar that I found at a garage sale. Mommy would like for you to know that no matter how long or hard I play this guitar, the batteries WILL NOT DIE!

After the garage sales, we took a road trip to Plainview and went to the JC Penny outlet. We found many more treasures there.

Including this excellent Wiggles t-shirt!!

Here's the whole package:


ROCK ON!!

Buff Stuff!

Well, the cat is out of the bag. Mommy accidentally found this picture while uploading some others to the computer. While at the babysitter's I have working out on the treadmill. I was hoping to be big and buff as a surprise present for mother's day. I guess that's not gonna happen now. Oh, I still intend to work out daily, but now I'm gonna focus on having rock hard abs for my birthday (which is a little over a month from now, in case you didn't know)!

Oh Dear!

I have learned to say "Oh Dear!" I really don't know what it means, but it's fun to say when pointing under a chair or when opening a door.

I have also started to sing my own version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". It goes "Winkle Winkle ba ba char" and so on. I always end it with the work dye. I made sure that it's spelled with a y, because I don't want anyone to think that I want the twinkly star to die! What if the twinkly star died? Oh Dear!

I also repeated a bad word yesterday. I won't say what it is, because the last time I said it, Mommy (the REAL offender) became speechless and almost dropped me on the floor in shock. Oh Dear!

It's so beautiful...

WINNIES!!!! I love them!!! They are soooo beautiful! Mommy has asked me to post this blog and ask all of you if you know where to get a toy windmill. Preferably something plastic that won't chop off my fingers. Make sure it is a real cowboy windmill, not one of those sissy Dutch "windmills".

They are just glorious...

The Essence of Evan

I did the cutest thing just now. At least my parents think so. They are such saps... Anyway, as the water was draining from the bathtub, I waved at it and said "Bye-bye". Awwww...I know, just say it. I'm so cute.

In other news, I have another ear infection. That brings the grand total up to approx. 100 since the beginning of the year. I had one a couple of weeks ago in the other ear. Mommy and the nice doctor started talking about ENT's and tubes in my ears this afternoon. That sounds fun!

I have started repeating a lot of words that Mommy and Daddy say. They are going to have to clean up their language according to Daddy. Anyway, as I got ready for my bath, I repeated the word "naked" after Mommy said it. I also like to say boat, hello (hey-oh), windmill ("Win-mie"), drink (dwink), and uh-oh. I am also able to open doors now and I can unlock and open the dishwasher. After the dishwasher is open, I like to stand on the door and reach for things on the counter. I have become very particular about the spoon that I use and will only eat off of one after I have chosen it specifically. I have started driving lessons and really enjoy sitting in the front seat of the Mazda, wearing Mommy's sunglasses and steering the wheel. It's also fun when Mommy gets in the car after I have driven and turns it on. Usually I have arranged it so that the blinkers are blinking, the wipers are wiping, the air conditioner is blowing, and the radio is blaring. Haha...Good times!

Well, I need to go. I have just shoved an entire DVD (case and all) into the VCR and it won't come out. Uh-oh....Here comes Daddy....
