While there are many moments we want to pull out our hair, there are also many more where we laugh deeply. Here are a few things we've been laughing about lately...
- I've read four year olds ask around 300 questions a day. E is three and he must be right on target. Sometimes I think my head might explode and I run out of words and answers. One day in exasperation at the circular nature of his questions I told him, "Elijah, I have no more words to answer your questions. I feel like I am talking in circles!" He told me with a sigh, "Mommy, I feel like I am talking in rectangles."
- Brooks and I lie in bed some mornings listening to Elijah trying to comfort his brother fussing in his crib. "I know, Simon!! I know, I know, I know. Mommy will be here in a few minutes."
- Elijah is an extrovert and he loves to make friends. Everywhere. He usually introduces himself as "Space Rescuer Elijah" leaving strangers with a confused look on their faces. He told one lady in Walmart that he was "Animal Rescuer Elijah". When she asked him what kinds of animals he helped he answered very matter-of-factly, "Dragons."
