Elias is FOUR years old! That's:
We had his big party on Sunday, but today is his actual birthday. Today Elias brought his very first bagged lunch to school. After dinner he took his new stomprocket (he opened a few presents early!) outside along with his ice cream cone, asking Mom to hold it between launches. Then he invited me to peek into the neighboring cornfield, then led me on quite the trek through it. Neat stuff.
I tried to get him excited to finally open his big pile of presents. He very happily opened his first pick: a tag reader from my parents. He's pretty happy with anything Leapfrog, but it takes lots of set-up time to work, so he picked out another and slowwwly opened it: a puzzle. He loved it so insisted on dropping everything and doing it right away. Next up: letter magnets. Again he had to try them out, then spell several words on the refrigerator. By then it was getting pretty late, so we had a fancy cupcake and more ice cream. He was so tired he went to his bedroom and lay down and "read" himself a Thomas book. Then he switched to a poetry book. (He loves poetry--pretty neat, eh?) After letting me finish reading it I told him I love him, and God loves him, and Nanna & Pappa love him, and...(you get the idea) he gently fell asleep.
I guess all those other presents are going to have to wait until tomorrow!
