Mr Men and Little Miss 2

Evan is now Joe Cool or Mr Cool. Being closer to 3 than to 2 now, he has developed a sense of who he sees himself as. He loves the fact that he gets to wear underwear and imperiously demands that all his clothes do not sport tags on them.

He is also better able to articulate his thoughts and emotions. He tells us when he is angry or upset and can conjure up facial expressions to match his emotions. When he is punished, he knows how to apologise to get out of the naughty corner and will obediently sit through the lecture that I will inadvertently dish out after his stint in the corner.

At the same time, he has discovered pride and is at a phase where he thinks it is just not cool to apologise. He will not apologise to his sister. He will to me but I guess I hold more sway than his sister does.



















Whatever it is, he's slowly becoming a little man, totally enthralled by everything his father does and thinks it is the best treat in the world to go with Packrat to get the car from the carpark.

He will also reject any signs of outward affection. If he is in a bad mood, hugging him, stroking his hair or touching him wrong will just set him off like a firecracker on speed. And the person who knows how to push his buttons best is his sister. My mother thinks he's just being very 'boy' about it.

In his quiet moments, he'll let me cuddle him and snuggle up to me but once he's up and about, Mr Cool takes over and it's "I'm too cool for Mommy".

Not yet three and the little boy is growing up.
