me: EVERLY! no! please stop making such a mess!
jaden: (to everly) don’t worry, ever*, i’ll clean it.
me: aww, jaden that is so sweet of you!
jaden: no. jaden’s not sweet. candy is sweet. jaden is a boy, not candy.
*side note:
i love how he calls his sister ever – “come on, ever, let’s go play.”
but calls her everly when he’s upset with her – “no, ever-leeeee! that’s my blankie!”
