Evelyn the Rock Star

And you probably thought I was joking about Evelyn singing with a full band in front of a hundred or so people in a local tavern.

Sick Day

Evelyn is home sick today and as such I have some time to idle on the internet and update her blog. Recent achievements include but are not limited to:

A second loose tooth. The first one fell out at school and she received 2 $1 coins under her pillow.

She is reading at a level 10. For those of you who know what that is, why do you know what that is? Sandy tells me it is good, well past what is expected of a Kindergartner.

Sang solo with a live band in front of 150ish people at a local tavern. Seriously she did. I am looking into getting a photo from a friend of hers.

Evelyn's Camera

Evelyn took both of these photos. The upper image is of her sister, the lower is of her cousin Delaney. The earlier was taken with her very own camera that she got for Christmas from her Grandma Sally.

Puff the Magic Dragon

Evelyn's kindergarten class recently was featured during a Lapham assembly. The first ever Kindergarten performance featured the school song "Three cheers for Lapaham" and the perennial favorite "Puff the Magic Dragon." Her voice was discernable from the back row. She also received a 3 in music class on her last report card. I think that is like a B. She sings "clearly and in tune" according to her teacher.

Teacher's Pet

As the daughter of a teacher there was really no doubt that Evelyn would become a teacher's pet. She is after all a teacher's pet of sorts. Lapham School holds a quarterly awards ceremony so that by the year's end each and every student no matter how average will receive and award. Evelyn is far from average and her time came last week. Her award was for being a good cleaner and helper. Other awards range from being on time, once, to being a good friend. She has also made those achievements but was recognized for her kissing up.
