Elliott

Oh my sweet Elliott.  I can't believe he is almost going to be 4!  He is such a loving boy, who loves his family and has quite his own personality.  
Elliott loves nature.  All things nature: leaves, sticks, rocks (most definitely rocks), all sorts of animals and birds, except spiders-this boy does not like spiders.  He loves to read our Crinkleroot books about animals, tracking, trees and wildlife.  And loves to explore in nature.

Elliott also loves planes, especially his Dusty planes, he almost always has one in his hand zooming around, or one in his pocket.  He loves listening to stories on his CD player and is particularly fond of his Baby Beluga CD.  He is such a good brother to William and is always looking for things to bring his brother while we are out and about.  When William is home the boys are often up playing Legos in William's room, or outside playing a made up Chima game.

Elliott loves his Mommy a ton, and is usually is her little shadow.  He would much rather be at home than at school, which is a constant struggle.  He loves to snuggle, which Mommy loves, and still adores his blanket.

Elliott is quite the crafty child and is almost always happy to work on a project that usually involves tape, stickers, water color paints or scissors.  Sometimes we will find him in a corner cutting paper into small little squares for fun.

Elliott does not get into much trouble unless he is too tired.  When he does something wrong it is usually an accident and he is quick to say sorry, and try to fix it.  He does not like to get in trouble.  If someone gets upset with him, he usually cries or gets angry.  So, we usually give him the chance to fix the problem instead of consequencing.  He is quite our little problem solver and says "I can solve the problem!"  I love that!

Jammies are Elliott's favorite clothes, it runs in the family, and if he is not wearing those it is his terry cloth shorts and his orange shirt.  Elliott says his favorite food for breakfast would be muffins, turkey and circle crackers for lunch, and noodles for dinner.

Elliott loves playing games and is great with puzzles.  He says his favorite game is the strawberry game, and his favorite thing to do outside is ride bikes.

We are so excited to watch Elliott grow, and are so lucky to have him in our family!
