Aside from wishing Evan to be a happy and healthy child; he has parents who have knacks for different talents: music and sports. These two videos show that Evan has potential in those two areas.
If you have your speakers on, check your volume before playing this one. This is Evan playing a bagpipe chanter. A bagpipe chanter is what beginning pipers use to work just on the bagpipe fingerings. After a person masters that, then you progress to actually blowing into the bagpipe (which is a whole other skill to master). I haven't been keeping up with my bagpipe practice (sorry Marc)...maybe Evan can pick up where I left off. It is funny seeing Evan in the video act like he is fingering the holes on the chanter (although the chanter is way huge for him).
In this video you can see Evan's first try at t-ball. From the video, it appears Evan really favors his left hand. We kept trying to get him to switch sides and swing like a rightie; but he kept going back to his left.

Getting Ready for a New School
On Thursday, we had a meeting with all of Evan's early intervention specialists and new teachers in anticipation of him "aging out" into the Headstart program. In August, he will go to Carmichael Elementary 2.5 hours 4 days a week to get speech therapy. We weren't able to meet his teacher Dana since she had a family emergency, but we were able to meet one of the school psychologists and his new speech therapist. The timing turned out good that he turns 3 in July and the new school year starts at the beginning of August.
Funny to think that he will be riding a bus from daycare to Carmichael (of course there is an aide on the bus with him to make sure he gets to where he needs to go). There are other kids from his daycare who will be going to Carmichael also, so he won't be alone. It was a bummer that Village Meadows didn't offer the Headstart programs since that is right behind our house. We're not sure if he will attend the morning or afternoon session; but since he is a good early afternoon napper, chances are he will attend the morning session. The big drawback to that is that he will miss breakfast at school.
