Galloping

I was washing dishes in the kitchen and kept hearing this odd galloping noise down the hall, kind of like running but not really? Curious, I backed up, and this is what I saw through the doorway. It's only 4 seconds long, so you'll have to play it several times to get the full effect, but Elijah had been doing this up and down the hall for a good 10-15 minutes. One of the things I love about him is that his own body is and endless source of entertainment. The other day I caught him drawing his bones on his skin with a pen. Yup. He was making long marks all the way up his arms and little marks for every finger bone. You gotta love him!

Memorial Day

Here is our most recent pic of the cousins. This was Memorial Day weekend at Nana and Papa's house. We, of course, had a wonderful time visiting and the kids enjoy each other so much. We all noticed that we didn't have to break up any major fights the whole time we were there except for the occasional scuffle between siblings which happens even when we're not all together.
Left to right we are- Isaiah, Olivia, Esther, Micah, Garrett and Elijah

Simile Metaphor Collection

Elijah after running: My heart is beating like a coconut rolling down a hill.
Elijah on urination: Pee is like horses galloping out of the gate. Once they get started you just can't stop them.
Elijah: If school were a human I'd give it a wedgie.
Elijah: I am like a hot rod and I just want to be a plain old Ford
Elijah on the fruits of the spirit: I've got them all covered except self-control. Its like a tiny green tomato and the rest are all big ripe ones. Especially love. Its like the biggest tomato we saw in the garden tonight.
