TINY: AND HIS LOVE OF ME-ME'S

Everett is 4 years old, but is turning 5 on "April seven"...just ask him.

He attends preschool at Ms. Becky's on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Everett has 2 great loves....(which we are trying to dissuade) his me-me's and his sippy cups. When he is tired or needs a snuggle, he promptly YELLS, "me-me and sippy cup!" We are down to only one me-me and it is in such a sad state. The dentist told him that he needed to be done with his binkies. I had heard that if you cut the tips off of them, then the child would lose interest. Um, it hasn't quite happened like that. He, himself cut the tip off with his very own scissors. Yet, he still likes to suck on what is left. Go figure! But, the date has been set, and that me-me will be gone for good. The magical date is his birthday. So, you too can begin the count down to this monumentous occasion.

Everett loves his big brother and big sister. He loves to follow Parker in all that he does. We can't get something for the one, without including the other. Pokemon cards are the new fad at our house and together they spend hours comparing cards and pretending to be different Pokemon. Pikachu is the character of choice. Everett crawls around at Parker's feet pretending to be his Pikachu. "Pika, pika....pika, pika....now pretend I am a baby Pikachu...and I got lost...and you have to find me.....pika."

One of the things that I love about Everett is his smile. As you can see from his picture, his whole face lights up when he is happy. He is such a joy to have around. His latest activity is to write letters....or I should say dictate letters to me. He loves to send them to his grandma's and grandpa's. Everett is quite an artist and likes to create a picture to include with his correspondence. He also loves to get mail. So if you are one of the lucky recipients of his letter's...PLEASE write back.

The other day Everett asked me if dragons were real. I replied that dragons were not real, but only pretend. "Oh.....well they must live on another planet." He is darling!!



WE LOVE YOU EVERETT!!
