Grandpa's magic trick!

Is there anything more amusing than a champagne cork and a table with the right size hole in it? Add Grandpa to most anything and you get great results!

Some videos that are old and new with (silent films)

Can't get the sound to work on these! They are sweet nonetheless. Just wish you could hear his laughter and all of his words! UPDATE--WORDS!

Words From the Wise

Today Elliot let loose on so many words I cannot list them.
He is using many 2 word sentences too.
The highlights:
"Please"
"thank you"
"Elliot Brooks"
"night-night Mama"

Again, there are so many words. He pretty much says everything he wants to. He counts to 3 and he names shapes. WOW, what a big boy!

Accessorizing

pooh. Yes, pooh, but today--the other pooh...POO. In the potty!
Some people don't write about this on a blog. Those people are not me.
This is big news in our home. Elliot has taken potty training to a whole new level! Yay, Little One! Yay.

Today, my dear Elliot, you are two whole years full of life. There is nothing that I would change about you. You are a boy who feels, and loves, and knows things in your little head that are at times beyond what I, as an adult can grasp.
You are the earth to me, the heavens, you are my heart grown.
I have love for you in every cell of my body, every wrinkle on my face--especially the lines of my smile.
I will tell God each day the joy he has brought. The world is yours. I am yours. Daddy is yours. We have more than the word love for you. You are better than we could ever imagine.
Our son.
Happy Birthday.
