Evan doesn't say much these days... he's all about the one-word answer. "How was school? we ask." "Good." "Are you hungry?" Tracy offers. "Kinda." In spite of the new teenage minimalism, we suspect he's still the same one-of-a-kind kid underneath. How do we know? (click the image to enlarge)
Exhibit A: On the left is a scan of our Sacrament Program. When his iPod Touch is frowned back into his pocket during church, he'll typically grab a program and go to work counting every vowel and consonant. So is he a codebreaker or just a little OCD? We don't know. We do think he might also be listening to the speakers, but haven't had the energy to try and drill him for details.
Exhibit B: On the right is Evan's iTouch. Possibly inspired by the movie "The Fantastic Mr. Fox", he's been learning the Latin names of as many animals as he can think of. He's up to 74. I asked him today whether he knew all of them. "Most" he says from the other room. "Ferret?" I ask randomly. "Mustela Putorius Furo". "Hey, that was three words," I say to myself. We're making progress.
