Here goes nothing! Elliot turns two tomorrow. To celebrate, we are taking our little monkey to the monkey sanctuary... and leaving him to live among his kind (just kidding!)He's changed so much since we've been here. I still catch my breath when he's heading at top speed across the dining room to the one step down that leads into the kitchen, but he doesn't miss a beat and breezes right over it like it wasn't even there. And he was so proud of himself the other day when he managed to walk down all five steps from the front door to the porch while carrying his container of sidewalk chalk in both hands. It was quite a feat.
For his birthday, he is getting a kid-sized, purple plastic chair, and he is so excited about it. He saw it at a kiosk when we went to pay last month's rent, and it's all he's been able to talk about since. If only their tastes could stay so simple...
Some recent photos, showing a few of his favorite things right now:
The official spoon cleaner hard at work after making a batch of hummus (summus)
The highlight of each day, when he and Daddy split a "treat", ice cream in a bag from the convenience store up the street.
Sidewalk chalk, for drawing faces, shapes, snowflakes, animals and his all-time favorite, tro-tros.
