Giving Thanks in November
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 10:19AM Today is an Elliott day. His babysitter's son is sick so he's staying with Grandma all day! We're having a great time together--we've been chasing around the dining room table. Elliott never tires of the chase. Grandma, however, DOES get tired of the chase so every once in a while we stop and read books and look at (and name!) all the pictures on the shelves and all the magnets on the refrigerator. We find all the bunnies in Grandma's house (he knows where they all are!). And before you know it, there he is again, running around the dining room table, laughing and squealing and inviting me to the chase!
This morning, he added a new part to the chase; he has to say hi to a picture that was taken of me when I was around four years old. He is quite attached to that picture today. He points and smiles and flirts with it.
I'm so thankful for the opportunity to spend some time with my grandson today. I had some other things planned but I'm not worried; it'll all get done. For now I'm playing with Elliott. . .

Here's another new fascination for Elliott today. He discovered his reflection in a teapot and he's been walking toward it, then walking backwards away from it watching his reflection get bigger and bigger and then smaller and smaller. He keeps walking away then going back again as if to see if the teapot will still perform its magic!

What a fun day! But I'm betting you'll be tired tonight!
What a great way to spend the day. I smile at your grandson flirting with your past self - it has an otherworldly winsomeness to it.
And any boy attracted to the inherent magic of a tea pot is all right in my book!
An Elliott day---what fun! Love the telephone pic of you, Kim.
What fun to watch Elliott grow and discover! What a great photo of you Kim!!
What a cutie! He is just discovering stuff everywhere - how fun for you!! :) Have a great time with him!!
