We celebrated Evan's birthday in the morning so Dave could be there. Later, I braved the germs at the Elementary school with Andrew and Sadie, and took cupcakes to his class. (Sadie wore a mask to keep her safe. I didn't realize how much attention her mask would attract, and ended up explaining as best I could to his class about Leukemia and the immune system. Ha!) Later on, Evan had his first piano lesson.
On the way home from his piano lesson, Evan said, "This is the best birthday ever. I can sit in the front seat (of the car. He's legal now.) I'm getting baptized. And I'm learning the piano!" I think he feels really grown up, as he should. 8 years old is a big year!
Here's a clip from his Hansel and Gretel play. I was so proud of him! He did great! (This song includes Hansel (Evan), Gretel, and their parents.)
After school, he said, "Mom, at least you could come to my play." I think he's forgiven me for missing the Beyonce dance, which, by-the-way, I found out was a 'flash mob' so no one really knew about it. And they are going to perform it again so parents can come. Gosh, he didn't have to make me feel so rotten! I guess I'm not the worst mom in the world after all. Phew!
Evan is a great kid, with a great heart and a happy attitude. We love you Evan!
