Vacation at Gingy’s!

by kate

Elliot spent the last week at Gingy’s while Logan and I were on vacation. Here he is rearranging her bedding.

He got to go with Gingy to Montessori school, where they worked on letters and numbers some more. Elliot did very well with those, but not so great at being away from Gingy… He ended up spending the week with her and her older preschool kids!

Here he is at the McDonald’s playplace after a hard day of learning!

He was very happy to see us when we got back! I got the most wonderful hug! 🙂 Logan and Elliot spent some quality time together.

Now Elliot can do this!

Per Logan, Lisa commented on Monday that Elliot did not want to play… he just wanted to learn stuff!

Also, we had a good snow today!

Logan tried to get him to go outside but he cried about his boots and kept saying “shoe!” Then after about 30 seconds outside he said “malk choc?” cause he wanted to go inside for hot chocolate!

Baby Murphy

Before I get to the exciting events of the evening, here is a video per Ginny’s request.

Logan and I had started playing Rockband again. We were playing through a few songs this evening while Elliot was horsing around the upstairs. Elliot started making funny faces like he was eating something so I eventually coaxed him to show me what was in him mouth… A delightfully candy shaped AAA battery. FAIL! “What if he had already swallowed another battery!” I thought. We ended up taking him to my work, which conveniently has wand metal detectors in the MRI department. A sweet pregnant technologist helped wand him. I was so relieved when, after beeping loudly at the battery I had brought separately, the detector was blissfully silent over Elliot.

Then I dropped my phone in the bath tub… Turns out the S4s are water resistant.

Also, Aunt Lisa came to watch Elliot today! She did his hair and they read books and visited the coin laundry! Elliot had a great time!

Also, funny story, Elliot took his bib off after dinner and was trying to hand it to me while I was washing dishes. I said, “Put it on the table and I’ll take care of it.” So he goes and puts it up in the drawer with the clean bibs. Pretty slick!

Out SHIDE!

by kate

Elliot finally got to spend some time outside this weekend! He got a little muddy, but it didn’t slow him down.

Also, we got to visit some of Logan’s family today at his Granny’s.

Baby Char was there too, looking fabulous! It was great to see her (and her family)!

At one point, I was outshide the screen door with Elliot and Logan was on the other side with Charlotte. Logan handed me Charlotte while Elliot was horsing around my legs. Logan shut the screen door and Elliot’s fingers were questionably caught. Either way, Elliot screamed. And then Charlotte REALLY screamed! He scared her and I said to Logan, “Pick a child and start comforting!”
