Other Elijah news

Elijah moved to a bed this week and I am happy to report that he has done it quite successfully. (Daddy will likely tell you that Mommy had a harder time than Elijah did.)
Spending the last of the nice Saturday afternoons drawing with chalk on the sidewalk.

Happy birthday to Elijah

"Elijah, how old are you?"

He keeps responding by saying "six". (I'm still dealing with him being two so six is jumping the gun just a bit...)

Elijah's latest obsession is Thomas the Train. His birthday was on Tuesday and we gave him a track that kept him entertained for hours. Last night our we had a family birthday party. He was a little overwhelmed by all the people and but he certainly enjoyed all the trains that he got. He also had a good time playing with his cousin.

Elijah and William were very interested in the digger on the cake.

Rug burn

Elijah started Sunday School on Sunday. He's turning two next week so he moved up into the 2/3 class. He got to color a picture and he even made a crown that he got to wear. He was quite proud of it.

Unfortunately, as we were leaving church, the little guy took a stumble and got some serious rug burn on his face. It doesn't seem to bother him at all. Every time I look at it I have to laugh because he really did land right on his face. Poor guy.


He is still enjoying one of his favorite pastimes. Spending time cuddled up with a blanket on the couch. Who knew that a flannel blanket could bring a kid that much joy?

In the home stretch?

35 weeks...

Motivation for getting through continues to come from the end result. Elijah is so much fun right now. Of course, he is also full of energy which does lead to some exhaustion. Thank you Jesus for grandparents.
