Spring Break

Elijah has been wearing himself out as usual. He continues to enjoy playing hard, but one thing I didn't think to take a picture of was him doing a puzzle. He loves puzzles! He gets pretty serious. We're surprised by his patience and focus, and it's fun to sit back and just watch his mind work.

Elijah has started up his swimming lessons again, which means, yes, Chicagoland is finally coming out of its winter hibernation. It's been an extremely long winter, and it didn't help that we got snowed out of our trip to Florida this year to visit Grandma Jean & Grandpa Lou (we miss you!)

Next week, Elijah will also start up a weekly sports "program" through the local park district...it's really just a fun hour once a week for tots. There'll be soccer, basketball, football, and tee ball. He's going to freak out! We can't wait!

Other than that, Elijah has been talking a whole lot. He jabbers all day long...most of it I understand. Luckily, he has a lot of that patience I was talking about. He'll repeat a word a dozen times until I finally get it and then his eyes light up and he says "YAAAAAAY!" in a triumphant way that says, "By George, I think she's got it!". ~Nasreen
