Apple Turkey

Yes I made the cookies (don't be so shocked)... I didn't want my kid to be the one to bring carrot sticks to the Thanksgiving feast...
Evan had his Thanksgiving play at preschool this week. It is still hard for me to believe that he is up on that stage... not Makayla. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday that it was Makyala shyly walking up there. I was so excited to see what they had been working on. And without fail, every show they did, she would just sit there quietly, barely making a sound....
Fast forward three years... and you get Evan. He comes in so excited and smiling so big. He hopes on the stage and loudly welcomes everyone. Such a contrast. He sings all the songs and knows all the little signs he had learned. I was laughing the whole time.
I was waiting the the entire show to hear him sing what I thought was a song entitled "Apple Turkey". All week, He had been singing it at home while making cute signs. When the show ended, I wondered why they didn't sing it. When I asked his teacher, she stared laughing... I guess one of the songs they sang was called Albuquerque Turkey.... Evan's take on the word.... appleturkey. I can't wait to see what he comes up with for the Christmas show!

A few funny phrases from Evan this week....

**"Look mom, I taught Cooper a new trick....See! I showed him how to walk on four feet"... this kid is going to be the next Dog Whisperer

**Evan was insulted by a comment I made when I told him was not big enough to play Yahtzee..."Oh yeah mom, I have big muscles (flexing), and a big brain right here (pointing to his belly)." To his credit he came back about five minutes later, laughing and told me his brain was actually inside his head.
