The latest

Hi all!!!

So much is happening in the mind and life of my Elliott. 

Have I ever mentioned that he is strong willed?   Well, once he decided to walk, he has pretty much not stopped.  He is fearless.  He particularly enjoys walking sideways around the house on unsteady feet holding a pen or his favorite red barbie boot.  He can climb right up on pretty much everything, he even moved a stool to reach up to the kitchen counter to grab a butter knife.  All things that Lucas would never ever ever ever have dreamed of doing. 

Which is what makes it so awesome.  He is hysterical.  He is determined, so very determined.  If we wants to chew on a toothbrush, he won't be stopped.  The Director at the child care center told me today that Elliott has found a way to open the baby gate and escape the room.  She added that he usually grabs another kid BY THE SHIRT to pull them out with him!!  I can already see in high school that Elliott will be the one dragging my darling sweet innocent Lucas out to get a fake ID.  Oh dear.

Lucas is reading a few words here and there, and that is so awesome to watch happen in front of my very eyes. 

More later!
