Lately, Elliott has been putting on these concerts where he sings every song he knows. Which include Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Old MacDonald, the theme song from his
favorite cartoon, and a few others.
He always starts the show with such a look of concentration.
Then he does a "put your hands up in the air!" move. This really gets the crowd going!
Followed by more intense vocals and slurred words (he only thinks he knows all the words)
And this is how he let's us know the show is over. Every time. We call it the "I'm a gangsta" / Backstreet Boy move. Usually, after his gangsta finale, he does a few bows and says "Thank you! Thank you!" Regardless of whether anyone is clapping or even in the same room. It's our favorite form of entertainment.
for Christmas, and at first he didn't take to it like I hoped he would. But over time he has become more and more interested and has used it as a book container, a bath for his toys, puts it on his back and pretends to be a turtle, but usually he sits in it and spins himself around. We recently bought another one for friends to play with when they come over. It was becoming an issue. I've heard the Bilibo
. I had never heard of them before, but they are awesome. The balloon flies up and around, and not just like the regular balloons fly around a room. I mean, these things fly! Across the large grassy area I was talking about. The kids loved chasing the balloon down and the moms loved the energy the kids used to fetch the balloon. It was a great day, and I guess spring is really here because I got a sunburn! First one of the year and hopefully my last.
