Two, but Almost Three

Elijah is at such a fun and challenging age. He will be three at the end of August and lately I've been remembering that three was more difficult with Ethan than two was. (Of course Ethan also had a lot going on that year with Paul and I marrying, having to move, and adjusting to Paul as "Daddy")

Anyway, while tantrums are more frequent these days, Elijah is also the one to make us laugh often with his two-year-old-isms.

The other day it was cloudy when we woke up and Elijah went to the window and said, "God turnded the sun off, Mom."

Whenever he and Ethan do any sort of imaginative play, Elijah always lowers his voice and speaks deeply.

I was talking with my mom on the phone the other day while Elijah was eating breakfast and he got upset because he wanted to talk to her too. I told him he had to wait until he was done eating and then he could call "Gamma" back. Well, when he called her, Papa answered and Elijah fell on the floor in a sobbing heap because it wasn't Gramma. (He ADORES Papa, but it was just one of those things that set him off). I couldn't help but laughing when I figured out why he was upset.

I would love to just bottle up his two year old cuteness - as witnessed in this video below. Sorry for my repeating all his answers but it's habit (and may help clarify what he's saying).

AND BY THE WAY - my doctor's appointment yesterday went well. I was a wreck until Dr. B found baby's heartbeat. What a blessing to hear such a beautiful sound! Amniocentesis is in 3 weeks - THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!




Blessings,

Check This Out!!!

My blog friend, Diane, from Tomato Soup Cake (Check her out!) first posted this link the other day. I checked it out and was moved to tears! I never would've heard about this since we don't watch t.v., but I found myself going back to it today and watching it repeatedly - IT'S THAT GOOD!

I wanted to share it too (plus by posting it on my blog - I'll always be able to go back and watch it again and again!). Please go meet Susan Boyle. I don't know when this really happened, but I hope Susan's life is very different now. It's worth the time, just let it buffer first or turn your volume down and come back to it in 10 minutes after it's played through once. Then turn the speakers up and BE MOVED!



UPDATE: Check out this article on Susan to read more about her life! It'll make you cheer her on even more!
