Evan According To Facebook

As expected, my posts to Facebook has a lot to do with my son. It's been a long time since I did an Evan update (got sidetracked by the car incident) so I will post a compilation of my FB status of past that talked about my son:

One of my FB Wall Photos was Evan's latest school photo I got last week. This was taken a month ago.

Sept. 8 "my 3 year old says he likes my spinach basil pesto (with rotini sprinkled with tons of parmesan cheese) even if I found it a tad bit too garlicky myself. Well I am only glad that there is somebody who finishes off my kitchen experiments. For dessert he is having watermelon sherbet - another experiment."

Update: I froze a lot of this basil spinach pesto and he still loves it. It's quite convenient for me too.

Sept. 14 "my son is very excited with the new toy his mommy made this morning. A "power ring" made out of paper clip and scotch tape lol"

Update: which was good since he lost this power ring after 10 minutes. Now he has an invisible power ring.

Sept. 14 "just found my sun hat inside the fridge. Quite cold too. Guess who put it there..."

The memory still cracks me up.

Sept. 18 "Evan out-of-the-blue: "Good morning dear Jesus." Something he learned from school I guess."

Update: He has given me a full version of the prayer 3 weeks ago plus another one too, and a song.

Sept. 21 "doing Evan's homework."

For his letter-of-the-week activity. It was the "A" week so I was hunting for acorns. I came up empty handed (our squirrels are greedy) so he took a plastic one from his Happy Meal toy.

Sept. 23 "is giving Evan a haircut."

Surprisingly, he fidgets more now than when he was smaller. He's more curious of the stuff I am doing especially at the back of his neck.

Sept. 25 "my 3 year old just corrected me, Ironman is Tony Stark not Tony Parker. Oo nga naman."

And he has yet to see The Ironman movie. Wish he could, I love that film - pure eye candy!

Sept. 29 "Evan poured a jugful of newly bought detergent in the washing machine this morning. We will have a strong smelling batch of laundry today."

Me: "My $8 dollars down the drain, literally."

Oct. 2 "thought she was going to take Evan to see "Where The Wild Things Are" when it comes out, until I read the movie version book (in the bookstore) and saw that there was a scene that the little boy bites his mom's arm... Uhm, I don't think so."

Still won't. Would rather save it for "Astro Boy". Was even thinking of Michael Jackson's "This Is It" too. Hehe

Oct. 2 " me to Evan: "You're the most adorable boy in the world." Evan to me: " "You're a genius!" True story."

Update: Yesterday after church while I was driving he told me again, "you're a genius!". I asked, "how about daddy?" His answer? "Nah, me and daddy are boys." He has a point.

Oct. 10 "Evan calls this his "Jesus Book". He loves it so much I was able to read the entire 192 page book to him in almost 1 sitting (took a break for his bath). Comes with a 30 minute DVD he watched twice in a row and wanted to watch the 3rd time ...which I had to say "no more". Bought it for $11 at Walmart."

Update: he still loves it. But I avoid being around when he's reading the book because it is 192 pages. I don't want him to get any ideas. He can happily read it on his own.

Oct. 10 "The other day Evan started hitting his head with his hand. We tried to stop him with logic but that didn't work. So we told him that his eyeballs will fall out. He hasn't done it since."

Update: Let me repeat, he hasn't done it since. I also found out the book "The Gingerbread Boy" is also a slightly effective warning when it comes to NOT listening.

Oct. 13 "Evan was fascinated by the cover of this library book (Tom was reading) laying at the back of the car. "The people are naked," he says "they are going home to change their clothes." As I parked on the street and we were about to get out, the little boy asked, "can I take this home?"

Oct. 19 (Today) "watched in amusement while her son affectionately hugged another lady's leg as we waited in line at the Post Office. He thought it was me, lol"

When I started FBing I didn't know that Facebook would be a good and fun memory tool for future blog entries. How convenient.

Lynn, Tom and I can't believe how much of a bookworm he is! Never in my dreams :)

Ed, have you found out about the field corn? hehe

I've heard that "Where the Wild Things Are" is not such a good movie for young children. It has received horrid reviews and the parents say it is almost entirely sad throughout the movie.

My daughter came home talking about playing with "cream" at school. I thought I just wasn't understanding her correctly. It took me a couple weeks before I found out that they had indeed played with shaving cream at school. I still haven't figured out why she came home with a handful of field corn yet. lol
