Top 5 Things Evie Doesn't Like

5. Time out - while she tolerates it pretty well, she is getting more and more obedient when we start counting. There are still days where she spends more time in the time out chair than in the real world. You all can report me for that.

4. Loud noises - ambulances, motorcades, low airplanes. She has no problem MAKING loud noises, but that is another story completely.

3. Vegetables. Why is it that little girls from China are such fantastic vegetable eaters until they are two? Is it because they have had the sweet ambrosia of Chik-fil-A once too often? Is once a month too often? Hopefully this is a stage.

2. Men with beards. She seems to be improving on this, but is not a fan of the fuzzy face.

1. HER PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM! It is the same as her Sunday classroom. Evie is NOT a fan of the nursery. It is pretty chaotic and crowded, and I completely understand where she is coming from on Sunday morning. Her two year old mind can't separate school from Sunday morning. We visited today and she clung like a barnacle. This is the same child who held a strangers hand from an office building across the parking lot to the car today. The same child who I had a stranger stop from running out in traffic on Tuesday - she has no fear except of the things listed above and her Sunday classroom. It is going to be interesting to see if she overcomes this.

Pictures and an update Monday.

On another note. Juliette cleaned her room herself today and did such a great job (even the shoes were put nicely in the closet.) She clearly takes after her father's side of the family.
