Evie learned her lesson about the misuse of scissors in January 2013. February 2013 was the month that she learned the hard way about the sharp end of a knife. She wanted to eat an orange for a snack and didn't want to wait for someone to cut it for her, so she pulled a serrated knife out of the knife block and went to work. She ended up cutting more of her finger than the orange. Sara called me home from work and I took Evie to the urgent care center. The nurses strapped her down, and she was very distraught over the whole ordeal. I decided that we needed to capture the moment, so I told Evie to smile. She stopped carrying on long enough for me to snap a picture with my phone. She actually did really well throughout he whole thing.
There were several times in my childhood when my dad took me to the ER to get stitched up. My memory tells me that he always took me out for an ice cream cone after I got stitches. I asked Evie if she wanted to get an ice cream cone, but she opted to go to the grocery store and get a small tub of ice cream that she could share with her sisters.
2013 was the first year that Eden got to participate in the YW basketball league. She was one of the smallest players on the court, but she didn't seem to notice. She was one of the most energetic out there, always going after the ball.
