A Sticker for Evan

He did it! I'm amazed...simply amazed.

He went from being the most disruptive child in his swim class, to being the only one to get a sticker for sitting quietly and being a good listener. Life is funny.

And all we had to do was bribe him with the reward of an icecream sandwich for good listening. That's right. He got a sticker and an icecream sandwich. It was quite a night. He even saved his sticker to wear to story-time at the library this morning so he could show his girlfriend, Kaley. The library lady gave him a stamp on each hand, (they all got them,) a red ladybug and a blue fox, and the hokey pokey was one of today's songs...what more could the child possibly want?

Okay, so he was eyeballing the little girl on the story-carpet with her face painted pink and black like a cat. But I think that was more "is that little girl part-cat and should I be afraid," than "I want my face done just like hers."
