These pics are of E with his favorite blocks. He has made so many ASTONISHING creations that I am bewildered thinking there is some little block gnome living in the couch cushions coming out and assisting this child!
--Elliot is asking so many questions. Sometimes the things he says sound like a little adult is speaking to me.
Today he grabbed my arms and hugged them tightly, lowering his head to them and saying,
"I love your arms and I love your hands."
Then he listed other parts of me that he "loved": face, shoulders, legs, etc.
Oh man--my heart is split open.
Before we went to HEB (H Heee Beee) tonight, Elliot was frustrated with something.
He called out, "BOND!"
I asked him, "Like James Bond?"
Elliot, "no, not like James Bond. Bond is what Elliot says when Elliot is angry. You can say bond whenever you feel nervous or angry."
I said that I understood as I held back laughter. What 2 year old says, "nervous"???
I didn't even know he knew the word--especially since he rarely gets nervous about anything!

I put up the Christmas tree tonight (just with the lights). Tomorrow E will wake up and see it all lit up and ready for us to decorate! He kept saying how excited he was for "decorating."
Poor James has been at work with a deadline since about 5am. It's 9:43pm and he's still there. We miss him and are so proud. Makes me think of how fortunate we are to be together as so many families aren't during the holidays (and the rest of the year).
God bless us all.
