You seem to have even more energy than you ever had before - we had no idea that was even possible!! When we're excerising on the Wii Fit, you imitate whatever we're doing. When we don't do well on Wii Fit, our Mii will hang it's head or pound on the ground and Evan will say, "Aw, Mommy's sad!" or "Mommy's so sad" and either would be followed with, "Evan sad too..." But when we do well and our MIi is celebrating Evan will say, "Yay, Mommy!!" and he'll come over and hug our legs while we stand o...

I have the old entry below. Things have taken such a surprising turn and I'm so proud of my boy!! Last Friday night (June 27) we decided to try potty training again.

We were so excited about Evan's 3rd birthday party that was scheduled for Saturday afternoon, but Thursday night Evan put himself in our bed to watch TV right after he got home from preschool and that just isn't like our little wild child... he had a slight fever the night before, but it had gone away during the night and was back to normal Thur. morning, so we sent him on to school. When the same thing happened Thur. night I started to think he had an ear infection so we went to see Dr. Morris...
