Last night Evelyn dreamed that trash trucks and cars could go on the sidewalk and grass. They chased her. They kind of caught her a little bit. She made a mud ball out of clay and threw it at them.
This morning, when the trash truck was heard, Lindita had to get down from breakfast and both girls ran to the window to see and discuss the trash truck.
At parent-teacher conference this morning, Evelyn's teacher reported that Evelyn is growing in her group-work skills. She is more inclined to join in with a group activity, whereas early in the year she preferred to choose an activity of her own. Of course her verbal skills are tremendous, and she shows loads of imagination.

A great weekend
This weekend Rachel and Tyler came to visit. Wow, we had a great time! We played some games. Tyler chased Evelyn around the house, inside and out.
Saturday was a big day: Eric went to a lifting clinic, Evelyn visited Jorge, Lindita stayed with Uncle Seth, and Eva and Nana and I painted with Mama Cat. It was a long day trip, but we all had a great time. Evelyn learned to play several board games. She's really getting interested in them. Hurray!
On Sunday, the teenagers and I saw Spring Awakening at the Fox. Great show! My favorite part was hearing Rach and Tyler sing "A Whole New World" in the car. Tyler played the piano and sang, back at our house, which Evelyn thought was way too loud. She has sensitive ears.
Evelyn convinced Rachel and Tyler to swing her back and forth, flip her upside down, wrestle her, etc etc. Through twenty minutes of this horseplay, Lindita laid on the floor and played with a doll, looking at it and talking to it.

Everybody has to be somebody
Saturday, Evelyn was Lightning Boy. Lightning Boy, whoever that is, wears a blue shirt and jeans. Half an hour later, she's taking off her pants and undies: "Lightning Boy doesn't wear Dora panties."
Five minutes later, despair: "I can't find any boy panties!"
Yeah, Evelyn, that's because boys don't wear panties. I forced her to settle for a blue Tinkerbell pair. Guess we should get some solid colors in the next size.
