Elliott - 8/26/2015

Elliott ate half of his breakfast: jelly toast and banana.  For lunch he ate beef & bean burrito, half of sweet potatoes, and half of tropical fruit.  It's interesting how he's been eating way more of his "meat" dish lately.

Here's a picture of Elliott being a true friend; feeding Sophie the doll bottle.  :)  She was a willing participant and they did this several times.  Watching these two kids interact is so cute.  Sophie will hold something out for Elliott to "look" at, but NOT to take it!  (Very typical of this age.  They aren't trying to give it to you.  Although sometimes it works if they know they'll get it right back.)  She'll hold something out, but not let him take it.  He gets the most puzzled look on his face.

We got out the sit-n-spins for the kids this morning - suggestion by Kenzie.  (She's coming here after Kindergarten and today was a short day for her.)  Elliott, of course, experimented with this toy that kept moving!!  And here he is standing up on it!!  Geez!!  I probably don't need to tell you that right after I took this picture Mr. Crash went off head-first!  Then Kenzie built a "train" out of the blocks, but I had to inform her that the Little Ones (Elliott and Sophie) didn't have to sit in their assigned seats!  :)  Ha!

We were at the window waving bye to Sophie's Dad Pat and Elliott was copying Cooper - waving and blowing kisses.  Very cute.  Also, I wanted to mention (again) the importance of routine for Elliott. He totally thrives with it.  Even with things that may seem insignificant to us adults.  :)  For example, when I say it's Story Time, I am getting the books ready, my back pillow in position, and Elliott is pointing up at my foot stool.  He knows what is coming next.  :)
