Elliot's Perspective

Mumma thought it would be kewl, well, actually I thought it would be kewl to capture a few pictures from my perspective of things. You grown ups have no idea how many butts us little kids see in a day! Here are a few snapshots from my journey around the house.

The Good Patient

I think most of you know that Elliot had his second set of PE (ear) tubes placed and this adenoids removed. He has battled ear infections since practically birth and we are hoping this is the end of them! He was a very good patient, he even got to go for a wagon ride around the outpatient surgery unit at the hospital. Of course Arf, and blankiepaci were with him the entire time. Mumma was a nervous wreck the entire time, but it was over before I knew it. His surgery went well and he back to his sassy little two and a half year old self. :)

Happy 1/2 Birthday Ian!

Well, they didn't throw me a party or anything like they did for my biggest and probably second biggest brother when they were six months old, but at least my old lady managed some free time to at least take a couple of pictures of me. I am still the same old high maintenance crybaby that I have always been, just getting a little bigger and louder I suppose. I still can't sit up yet, but I guess that will come sooner than later. I'll be sure give you all of my stats once I go to the doctor in a couple of weeks.

Kung Fu Update...

I had the most awesome time at Kung Fu last week. My Mother however, did not......

Mumma was doing her 10k training on the track that surrounds my class and while running ,she looks up and sees some parents cleaning some protective gear (helmets and chest guards). No big deal she thought...they are just cleaning them for the class after mine, which is for older kids. Well, guess what.....??? WRONG! Dude, they suited us up and we got to go on one on one contact kung fu!!! SSWWWEEETTTT! Kicking and punching each other without getting in trouble. It was totally awesome, no other words to describe it other than that, totally awesome. I could tell Mumma was keeping a very close eye on me while sparring with my friend Owen and that she wasn't so sure of this class she enrolled me in. I however, LOVED it! :)

Deer Hunters

Shhhh....be very, very quiet....we're hunting deer! Okay, so it's not a deer, it's Daddy with deer antlers on, and we have Nerf guns, but boy o' boy is it fun!! Maybe we should be the teacher and on this one and show DADDY how to hunt for deer! :)

We got him!!!

Judo Chop!

Mumma signed me up for this super kewl class at the Y called HapKiDo, but I like to refer to it as Kung Fu!! I am learning self defense as well as building self confidence. It's awesome, we get to kick and punch and NOT get in trouble for it! Mumma told me that I can do all of my judo chops at class, but can't come home and go all kung fu on my brother(s)!

Snow Bunny?

Hardly!! More like snow monster!! Mumma and Daddy took me to my first ski lesson today. I don't think the had any confidence in me, thinking I would chicken out, but did I prove them wrong! I LOVED it! I've got the need....the need for SPEED! Who cares if I can't actually stop yet, I can fall.

I learned just a few basics and will need a few more lessons and much more practice. It was so sweet! Who even noticed that it was only like 10 degrees outside, well, I guess my Dad probably did when he was outside watching me. :)
