Thoughts on Elijah

Dear Elijah,

You are a strong headed little kid. I think that is all I have to say about that.

But you are also HILARIOUS. You are going to be one of those people that are just funny. You say things that are so funny and your comedic timing is already amazing. You are coordinated as well.

I am so grateful you are past the screaming stages. I thought for a few years that you were going to put me in the crazy bin because of how much you screamed over EVERYTHING. When you were happy, you screamed. When you were sad, you screamed. When you wanted something, you screamed. I am just so grateful we are past all of THAT.

You are very strong willed. You want to do everything by yourself. But the cool part about it is that you are also VERY capable. You are very coordinated and so you can do a lot of things by yourself. But it's funny the things you don't want to do by yourself, one of them being potty trained. You want NOTHING to do with it. So we are going to wait another couple months and see how you are doing with it. Your dad is ready for you to be potty trained, but I don't want a major fight with you about it, so we are going to wait a couple months. No rush.

You also want to be the leader wherever we go. You want to open all the doors and be the one helping with everything. You and your sister but heads with EVERYTHING. You are either playing like best friends, or you are tearing each other's hair out, there is no in between.

Your talking is getting better and better. We still have to practice quite a few sounds and things, but you will get there.

I love you,

Your Mom
