Sweet little Elliot...

I was downstairs on the computer with Grace yesterday and when I went upstairs to check on Elliot, this is what I found...



Elliot is such a sweet little boy and I love the way that he falls asleep in the funniest places!!  He used to do this much more often back when he took naps on a regular basis.  This got me thinking about all of the little things I love about Elliot.  Here is a little list:

I love the way he eats his pizza crust first.

I love the way that he plays with my hair whenever he is near me.

I love the way he hugs me and says, "I'm so sorry honey mommy".

I love the way he goes out in the back yard and lays on Max, hugging him for a half hour at a time.

I love it when you ask him what color something is and he answers with the spanish word for the color.

I love the way he gathers things up and lines them up, sometimes by color or shape.  Here are two examples just from today.

His favorite cartoon is "Super Why" on PBS kids, I love it that he calls it "Super Want".

I love it that he loves letters and numbers so much.  He will sit at the table for an hour writing all his letters and numbers on a piece of paper.

I love it that he writes smiley faces on everything.

I love it that he loves Charlie Brown so much.  I love the way he and Grace will still act out scenes from Charlie Brown Christmas.

I love it that he always wants to dress up in Grace's dress up clothes and shoes whenever she is playing with them. (Ray doesn't love this so much!)

I love it that he loves primary songs so much and tries to make requests during singing time in nursery.

I love it when we are in the store and I hear a song I like and tell him to dance, and he does it.

The list could go on and on, but those are just a few reasons why I love Elliot so much!!
