Elliott - 8/6/2015

Elliott had bites of raisin english muffin and ate two servings of blue berries for breakfast.  He loves his blueberries!  (See picture below!)  For lunch he ate everything: chicken, crackers, sweet potatoes, and canned cherries.

I also wanted to mention that his little butt was a bit sore and red when I changed his poopy diaper this morning.  Hopefully these blueberries will not make it worse, but it was pretty sensitive already for him.  I lathered a thick layer of cream on and hope that too will help some.

Micala played with the children for quite awhile this morning and I took this picture when Elliott and Cooper were mauling her.

I've been working hard with Elliott to listen when I talk to him.  He has been responding quite nicely I must say!!  Here are a couple of examples from this morning.  When it was time to go back in the house and get ready for lunch Elliott was pretty busy with the dump trucks.  Everyone else had come in the house and I went back out and said, "Time to come in Elliott."  He immediately put down the truck and headed right over.  Nice job Elliott.  He also totally understands that we keep the toys on the "toy side" of the room.  He's got that concept mastered and takes the toys right back when I have to remind him.  Again, nice job Elliott.  Another good example would be when I need to change his diaper and he always responds when I give the direction.
