OCD

Evan has a mat of letters and numbers. Every night before we go to bed I arrange the letters and numbers into a nice 6X6 square. This is how it looks:














Then Evan gets up in the morning. This is how it looks approximately 10.6 seconds after he hits the front room.















John says I'm crazy to put it back together every night. But I have to! I must be OCD.

In other news, Evan got his first big boy haircut this week. He did great. He seemed a little uncertain at first, and hated wearing the bib, but as soon as the stylist gave him her water bottle he contentedly sprayed himself in the face the rest of the time.
















It turns out that big boy haircuts are pretty expensive. Time for me to learn a new skill. Have any advice on giving boy haircuts to someone with no experience? Please share!

What we've been up to.

We've enjoyed having John at home for the past month or so. But now it's back to the real world with John starting work this last Monday. Evan and I have tried to stay busy with story time at the library and going to the park. He is obsessed with rocks, and loves to throw them in the water at our favorite park. When we go on walks he tries to pick up every rock he sees and carry it with him. Today he had so many that I caught him trying to put some in his mouth so he could carry more! Silly kid.

They had a free day at the Museum of Natural History in Norman so we went to check it out. It was pretty cool. They had lots of dinos and a playroom for little kids.















We also went to the OKC zoo this week. It's a really nice, with a children's play area. They had a waterfall and stream with rocks. Evan was in heaven! They also had a bird area where you can walk around with the birds flying and running around you. That was Evan's favorite place. He chased the quail the entire time.

John passed part 3 of boards! Now all he has to do is get licensed in OK and we're good to go! So this weekend and next weekend he has a seminar and tests to pass for that in Tahlequah, OK. Good luck John!
