Evie

If you're not sure where something is in this house just ask Evie. Not because she's good at finding things (although she is), but because she has this nasty habit of hiding other people's stuff! And, it's not just hiding random things, it's a clear act of vengeance! For example, she hides a picture of Josiah because she's mad at him or doesn't like the attention he's getting. She hides a toy that someone took away from her. She hides my dad's hat because he wouldn't take her outside. This morning it was my gym shoes. Why? Because she doesn't like me going to exercise so much. Her worst form of vengeance, however, is peeing in her pants to get back at me for putting her in timeout! My dad told me I just might take up praying again when she reaches adolescence.

It's intriguing. Not about competing with her siblings for attention. A way of coping with frustration, compensation for not getting her way? Strong-willed and uncompromising? I just love her more.

Hello? Anybody here? That's OK, I happen to know Jill is very busy.
