Funny Evan Story
Evan is many things. But for this story we will talk about his challenging and strong-willed side. It has taken about a year for me to get Evan to stay in bed at bedtime. But his inner self couldn't let him give up. Yeah, he'll stay in bed - but he has to take it to a new level. He has to try various things to see what my response will be. Well, about three times I have found him completely naked in bed. This is out of defiance mind you.
I went to pick him up from his Tuesday/Thursday school today. His teacher came up to me giggling & embarrassed. She told me there had been an incident. Yes, Evan stripped down for all the 3 yr old class to see. I was truly stumped. Boy, I was hoping that was the kind of thing he would only try at home. I understand when he did this at home, he was trying to push my buttons. But why here? What was the payoff?? Anyway..... the journey continues.

Oh my goodness!
I totally wasn't expecting to read that at the end:).
Ah, the complexities of children. Kids are so transparent in many ways, but oh, so mysterious in most!!
I can hear you sharing that story years from now . . .:)

That is hillarious...we have struggled with bedtime too. I can say it does get better! And fortunately I have not had the experience of mine stripping at school. Better cross my fingers!

Hey, I missed you at MF weekend! It wasn't the same without you. I'm glad to know we are not the only ones that struggle with bed time, but I haven't had the "pleasure" of Kalynn stripping to her birthday suit. I can just imagine Evan's big grin when he did it. Love you guys!
