"Mom? I want a snack." You do? What would you like?
"uuhm, I think a marshmallow would be good. A few marshmallows in a bowl."
"I think a chocolate coin would be a good snack maybe."
" I think chocolate fudge would be a tasty treat."
"How about some marshmallows in a bowl?(putting her face 1/2 an inch from mine) COME ON, LETS GO AND GET A SNACK!"
I happened to be sitting at the computer when Evelyn came to me with these ideas, and so I literally transcribed them as she said them. These ideas came in rapid succession (partly because I was typing and not responding as she would like), one after the other and all I could do was smile and laugh out loud. She is so my daughter and I see now that I have passed on my sweet tooth in full. We're off to find some more reasonable snack options, it might not be pretty.

Dear Lord
Each night when Evelyn says her good-night prayer I sit listening on the edge of my seat. Sometimes they are startlingly profound, other times they nearly knock me off my seat they are so funny....
For example,
"Dear God, thank you for dis day and thank you for everyone I love, and thank you for chocolate milk, and thank you for McDonald's and thank you for da people working in McDonald's and keep dem all safe.Amen." ->she got to go on a Papa and Granny date earlier in the day and was apparently very grateful!
"Dear God, thank you for dis day and thank you for Katherine Hepburn (she said this, I am not making it up!). and thank you God for Katherine Hepburn's story tape. and thank you for everyone I love. Amen." I could barely hold it together long enough to say amen. Katherine Hepburn! I gotta get this kid a better set of story tapes :)
She's a funny bug.

Evelina Ballerina
It's been a long wait. She was tip-toed, twirled, leaped, and bowed. She had proclaimed herself a great ballerina and helped other grown men with their technique....
...But the time has finally arrived for Evelyn to be in a real ballet class! Evelyn could hardly contain herself when I told her she was going to have class tonight. I had to explain that it was a night class, after dinner and when it is dark. She reminded me all day that we needed to eat dinner and kept looking out the window. She did great once we got to class. She lined up with the other little girls and they practiced their positions and did leaps and runs across the floor. She even got to practice sommersaults. When we left Evelyn said, "dat was so much fun mom!"
