Conversations With Evan

For the past couple of months, Evan has requested we leave his lamp on after we put him to bed and read him a story.  Once we leave his room, he is usually up playing in his room for 30-45 minutes.  The other night before we read a story, he was playing with something on his workbench. He is usually building or creating something with the things he finds in his room.  This was our conversation:

Me: "So is this what you do after we put you to bed, but you don't go to bed?"

Evan: "Yes, I do all the things I need to get done in my room and then I go to bed.  I organize my books. . ."

I just had to laugh because each night before I go to bed I go and turn his lamp off and the things I find in his room are so funny.  He's usually either built a fort or some kind of contraption that I'm having to maneuver around.  Both my kids like the Tinkerbell movies and I joke with Evan all the time that he would definitely be a tinker fairy.
