Elliot’s classmates celebrated his birthday with him at school today. He wore the birthday crown and peered at them through the gift his teachers gave him. Then everyone ate the store-bought cookies we brought. According to his teachers, his behavior has improved tremendously since he started school here.
Earlier this week Elliot told me, “Mom, I practice counting to thirty every day.” What a smartie! Also, since he has a crown that says “Elliot is 4” he is convinced that he’s already 4. We’ve been talking about all the things he’ll be able to do once he turns 4. So I ran with it and said that he has to start putting his own shoes on… and he did!
Now, Trav has only been talking understandably for a couple of weeks. Turns out, he already knows his alphabet, colors, and numbers up to 15. He was counting in the car and then saying “ready or not, here I come!” even though we were both buckled securely in our seat belts. Cute!
Seeing those pictures made my day. I love the one of Elliot looking through the magnifying glass. Isn't it a blessing that he has teachers who understand and love him? Travis has probably been telling us all a lot of fascinating things and we just have not gotten the message! He is too adorable for words.
You have some really smart boys on your hands and I miss them dearly!!! So cute!
