E for Evan

Evan is very proud to be himself. He is also very proud of his first initial. So much so, that anywhere we go, anytime he spots the letter E, he is sure to point it out. "Look, Daddy! That sign has a E on it!" (Yes, it does!) "That's a E for Evan!" (Well, E is used for other words and names, too. It's not just for Evan.) "Yes it is! E is for Evan!" In fact, anywhere there is an E, just know that it is for Evan and don't bother trying to argue with him. This all started when we began marking juice boxes, kids meal leftovers, etc., with N for Nathan and E for Evan. Now, if there's an E on any item, he thinks it's his! Just this morning, he wanted to wear a red shirt for "paint the town red" day at his school (Local University homecoming this weekend - colors are red, white and black). He pulled out Nathan's red polo shirt and put it on. (Evan, that shirt is too big for you - that's Nathan's shirt.) "No, it's my shirt - it has two E's on it." I checked the tag... sure enough, the label read, "GEORGE". I told him it was George's shirt, but he just crossed his arms and said, "NO. E is for Evan!" I did manage to change shirts on him, because the one he had on didn't match his pants. That's another blog altogether!
