It has been on my to do list, but this month has been kind of a blur. I just finished two weeks of night float and then another week of evening shift in the ER. Time has been rather a precious commodity. We did manage to go to the zoo during the morning of my night off. Elliot liked the Lego room! They had a neat exhibit where you go into a netted room with over 300 budgies. They also had an Elliot sized nest!
Anyways, Logan and Elliot have been working on some things while I have been away. Yesterday, to my surprise, Elliot could actually put the pieces of his board puzzle back in the right spots with only a little help with positioning. He even said “Kitty!” when he was holding the cat piece. Also, although he still doesn’t like to nap or go to bed, I can’t really remember the last time he has woken up in the middle of the night. So that’s pretty awesome!
Yesterday, Logan got out Rockband and gave Elliot a mircophone, which he help in his mouth for the most part but occasionally he would sing along! It was adorable! Elliot also gave Logan a black eye, which isn’t really funny but it seems like a memory worth recording. On the other hand, Logan got Elliot some fun T-shirts!
Last weekend we went to my parent’s house for Marm’s birthday and to give me an opportunity to adjust my circadian rhythm.
Elliot helped Marm blow out her candles!
He also really enjoyed her birthday card from Betty Lynn which had a Hawaiian girl who actually spun in a grass shirt! Seriously, after swimming at Craig and Suzanne’s Saturday evening, Elliot and I came back and watched this girl in the card spin for like 15 minutes while he settled down for bed. It was pretty mesmerizing. And speaking of the pool, Elliot went off the diving board… well, more like was handed to me swimming with a floaty by Logan or Tom from the diving board. He thought it was pretty neat, shooting “Two go!” as he was handed off! He was also pretty impressed by Tom and Logan’s diving skills.
We stopped by to visit Nell and Mosley. Elliot and I played with the yard sticks. Daddy is so tall, it took two yard sticks to measure him!
We also played with a neat bell.
Then we made a stop at the Tullahoma caboose. Elliot was enthralled! We are going to have to book that boy a train ride someday soon!
