Morning At The Park

Dave took Laney and Elliot to the park this morning. Both Laney and Elliot have had colds and Laney was pretty cranky this morning---she's so much easier and cooperative than she was a year ago but certainly still knows how to push our buttons and throw a good fit.

On the other hand-Elliot's been giving us a tough time lately. A really, really tough time. The terrible twos have hit with a vengeance. However, we survived Delaney's terrible twos, so we certainly can survive anything that Elliot throws at us. Still, the fits, defiance and uncooperativeness are exhausting. It's like--come on kid, just chill out and cooperate.

Elliot goes nuts if he's inside for too long. Well, I go crazy, as I watch him bounce off of the walls. He loves, loves, loves going to the park and usually has to be dragged away when it's time to leave. His favorite things to do are climb up the slides, walk down the slides and climb, climb, climb. When I take him to the park, I'm constantly gasping and my heart is in my throat. He's incredibly coordinated and physical---certainly, doesn't get this from me!
