Glenn and Evan celebrated their birthday on Friday! Evan loves to remind me over and over again that he is growing up. He keeps making sure I know that he is now SIX years old, AND he has a permanent tooth!
H really is growing up. He loves to talk to Amelia and is proud of the fact that she is his twin. He thinks he is Amelia’s second favorite (after me, of course) due to the fact that, in Evan’s words, “she smiles every time she sees me because she thinks she is looking at a statue of herself!” Evan is carrying on the Roper family tradition of being a bookworm, and while I write this blog post he is sitting on the couch in the living room reading one of Derek’s science books. He is doing really well with the piano, and seems to love kindergarten. We have parent-teacher conferences tonight, so we’ll hear the real scoop! Evan has a quiet personality until he gets around Derek, then the two of them are like wild animals. He is cautious when trying new things and loves to be warm and wrapped in blankets. He has a fierce temper. I love my Evan!
For the birthday morning we started off with a delicious breakfast. We don’t often eat breakfast together on school mornings (Glenn is already gone at work, and the boys trickle in as they wake up), so it was fun to be together. That afternoon we invited a few boys from his kindergarten class over to play. We had pizza and ice cream for lunch. The boys had a great time playing outside (this has to be Colorado’s nicest winter ever) and making creations out of the homemade scented play dough that Evan and I concocted for the occasion. It is fun to watch my boys with their friends!
It is always fun for both Glenn and Evan that they share a birthday. I was pretty proud of myself that I made TWO cakes this year! Instead of sharing with Evan, Glenn got his own blueberry cheesecake (for the first time since Evan was born). Evan requested a B-2 bomber. I think they were both happy. I sure love my birthday boys!
