Elijah James "trouble" King

Eli...
boy are you a handful! No matter where I put you .. you find trouble. How do you know what you are NOT supposed to get into? It amazes me how you find trouble. Today I was watering the flowers and you would not stop running towards the road. The worst part is that you were laughing while you were running. Maybe you just want me to exercise me? That must be it.
Sara is all finished with public school. Her last day was last week. We have summer break then we start home schooling. Are you going to want to learn with us? It's going to be fun having you both home full time.

Life can be hard...

Life can be hard for a 1 year old when they don't get their way! Elijah... you are darling.. but man, you sure have your moods! You can go from laughing happy to "the sky is falling" in about 10 seconds! It's almost cute. What are you going to be like when you are 2 :O!

Love you always!
Mommy

Spring!

Elijah.. Life with you is busy! and I'm loving it. You are the cutest thing around. Always pouring on the charm! You have learned so much in such a short periof of time. You can now point to your nose.. you can say: momma, dadda, grrr or girl (for your sister, Sara), cat, bubba. You make truck noises when you play with your cars.. you growl when you play with your tiger. You are just too cute!

I love you!!!

going going gone!

Momma went ebay crazy this past week. Sold the camcorder, digital camera, ipod and the speaker system - made over $600 on 3 year old used stuff - cool. We are getting a new digital camera tomorrow - and tonight we got a new computer.. wow. A dell - we are walking away from the imac - soon to be sold on ebay :) I wonder what kind of cool gadgets there will be when you are a teenager.
I gave you a little hairs a trim today. You look just too cute for words - and you know it!

Love you!

Life with a 1 year old is busy!

Elijah - I spend a lot of time keeping busy doing.. well - not much! You are one busy boy. Making messes - that's your job. Keeping up with you is my full time job! It's unbelievable how much energy you have. I can't wait till you take a nap so I can have one too! :) Last week you started a class at the YMCA called "first gym" you and 4 other wild 1 year olds. Its really sweet to see you with others your age. Your latest passion has been books - which makes me very happy. You love to "read" by yourself and you are starting to let me read to you (for about 30 seconds) Right now your favourites are brown bear and find the duck I was so excited yesterday when I asked you to show me the duck on the page and you pointed to it! Another thing you've been doing recently is learning to shake your head no. You don't know what it means yet - but I think you realize it has a lot of power. :) I can tell that things are just going to get more exciting as time goes on.

I love you!

Love,
Mommy
