Loves to wear socks on his hands
Is a huge fan of sticking out his pointed tongue
Falls down when he gets tired
Is learning to make animal sounds
Suddenly likes to cuddle

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!

Quotes
L: even growmups can be at my pig roast because you know what? If kids and girls are there with no growmups you know what they will be in?
Pause
L: in trouble. You know who told me that? A nice boy. You know who that boy was?
Pause
L: that nice boy was my own self!!!
Me: remember that in high school.
Happy birthday!

Elliott WALKS!!!
Can you believe it?? My sweet little is a walker. He is also saying what I can hear clearly as 'Mommmmmmm', but is probably meant to be "I love my mom so much because she is so wonderful." Right? Right????
Both boys had ear infections this week. One particularly brutal night, Ben looked at me over the body of one sweaty, fevery, screamy kid and whispered, "This place is a house of horrors." I really did laugh. It was true, but man, even in the very worst moment, I just love those animals.
My mom and dad were here, now they are in Alaska, and then they will be back at Elaine's house. It is so great to have them here, but I feel bad the boys weren't on their A game. Oh well, maybe next time.
Lucas has been especially funny these days, mostly because he is the only kid who talks.
He came out of his bedroom late in the night (9pmish) and it went a little like this:
L: Mom, I did something funny. So silly. My shirt got wet.
Me: Really, how did your shirt get wet.
L: Mom, this is so silly. You are really going to like it.
Me: Well, what happened?
L: I drank the bird water and it spilled all over my shirt. But don't worry. It was sweet and I really liked it. I had a good idea, mom.
Me: You drank the hummingbird feeder????
L: You think that's a good idea?
Me: (stunned) What do you think?
L: I need a new shirt. This one is wet.
Also, Lucas is back to loving school. Mostly. Elliott has had a few supremely awesome days at 'school', but I am still looking for a big bag of free money so I can stay home with him forever and not let him grow up so he can be my little love forever. Lucas just insists on growing up, so I'll keep Elliott little forever. FOREVER I tell you.
I'll post some photos of boys, sorry I am not better at Elliott pics, he is usually either attached to me or just a blur.
As always, I am super thankful that our house is such a happy house, and I really do marvel at how these kids can destroy a house in 10 minutes, but I can't even be mad since they are so happy and healthy and loving. We hit the jackpot, and we know it!

A long night
Thankfully my parents are visiting. We have two boys with ear infections and Ben and I have both been sick. In preparing for a long night.
