He was down on the floor talking to Baby Layla first thing this morning and she grabbed his shirt. And like most babies she has an awesome grip. He had a surprised look on his face and it was pretty funny. Just a side note - It was probably about 10 minutes later when she was laying at my feet and I didn't realize she'd grabbed my shoe lace. I maintained my balance when I took off, but it was surprising how tightly she hung on!!
I took this first picture yesterday afternoon and Cooper had laid all these boards across Elliott and Elliott was happy to just sit there. Then Cooper crawled under them too. They probably played with the wagon this way for almost 30 minutes minutes.
I know I've mentioned about Elliott being a good listener here. Sometimes I have to help him listen, but overall he has been doing an awesome job. Probably the best example is keeping the toys on the "toy side" of the room. He TOTALLY has that concept down and knows exactly what I expect. He will occasionally test it, but he'll also respond immediately when he realizes the rule still stands.
When we went outside Cooper was warning Elliott to stay away from the apples that fall off the neighbor's tree. Cooper is deathly afraid of bugs and bees and he said, "Watch out for apples Elliott!" (I told Cooper early in the summer to watch for bees around the apples.) Reid, on the other hand, has decided (along with Cooper's help) that it's his job to pitch the apples back over the fence. So Reid said, "Reid do those; throw like baseball!!" Ha! And he did! When he was done he came back and reported in to Cooper; "Did it Coop!!" :)
