evanisms.

with avery around, i feel like i am missing out on documenting all of the funny “evan” things happening around our house so here some of them are…

  • when someone sneezes, he will say “bless you _____” – including himself:) “bless you evan” haha!!
  • if you cough or ask him if he’s ok, he will say “you ok _____?”  he kind of runs the “are you” part together so that it sounds like he’s just saying “you”.  i HAVE to get this on camera because it’s the cutest thing and makes me smile all the time. i actually try to make him say it at least once a day.
  • cc taught him how to say “remember the alamo” but it comes out like “memember the malamo”
  • if you hand him something, he will say “thank you ______”
  • he tells the puppies “no addie” and “no rylea” as well as “go away” all the time.  guess we do that a lot :)
  • if we get anywhere near where he takes swim lessons, he wants to go “simming”
  • talks about “cc’s house”, “mommy’s house”, “vanpa’s house”, etc all the time.
  • if someone is not wherever he is, he says they are at “work”
  • always picks up the phone and say's “hi mike” even though he talks to numerous people on the phone.
  • is starting his “mine” phase.
  • will ask for a hug.
  • know’s “mommy’s car” & “daddy’s truck”
  • has said “gig em aggies” a few times.
  • asks to “watch cars” or “watch thomas” – sad because he used to say “momas” instead of thomas and i never got it on camera.
  • always wants to “pay tains” aka play trains.
  • loves to go “outsi” and “wing” on his swingset.
  • will count and does pretty well - “one two three four five (sometimes) six seven six seven…”
  • can sing the ABCs sort of
  • will ALWAYS ask for “nanother book” after we have read his two books before bed…and usually gets it:)
  • remembers most of the names of family that he meets.
  • asks for “help pease” when he can’t do something.
  • says “down pease” when he is done eating.  that’s his version of “may i get down from the table please”
  • knows his colors and the signs for a lot of them

i’m sure i have missed a ton so i will try to update the “evanisms” every so often!!
