Feeling the Rain
A few weeks ago when it was raining pretty hard on and off Elijah and I took a visit in the stroller to his friend’s home about a mile away. I took a towel in case it rained and just as I guessed, on the way back it started POURING. So I threw the towel over the stroller and started running. He kept trying to move the towel out of the way to see so I made a little opening on each side to peer out.
Well when I got home I was opening the garage and I noticed just Elijah’s little hand, peeking out of the side, palm up, feeling the raindrops. It was the most precious sight and a moment I will never forget.
New STuff
We were all at Fry’s tonight for Shin and I was holding Elijah and there was another big dad down the row who had another similar age boy on his shoulder. Elijah got all excited and started talking to him and the boy looked back at Elijah and smiled and waved! Then Elijah waved back. That socializing was totally initiated by him! I’m convinced I need to be more intentional about directing his social life.
We came home and noticed that while Shin and I were talking Elijah was walking and spinning himself around in circles! That’s a new balancing act for him. Then I stood up on a chair to bring down the meds in the highest cabinet and he crawled right up the same chair behind me and was standing up inches from the edge. Omg. That was new and dangerous.
