Looks who's six!

I'm clever as clever
So I think I'll be six

KINDERGARTEN!!!!!

What an exciting day - Elijah started Kindergarten! After waking up at 6am and eating breakfast Elijah couldn't wait to put on his new uniform! Then it was time to pose for a few first day of school photos in what has become a tradition - by the front door. Finally at 9 am it was time to head to school with Daddy, Mommy, Isabella & Tia (Jonah was at school himself).



We took a few photos in front of the school sign . . .

Mom's best gift.

December 23, 8:30 am. Elijah comes down the stairs and climbs up on my lap to cuddle. He snuggles with me for quite a while. An early Chrissy gift as this is one of the few times I can remember him climbing up to cuddle without me requesting him to do so. Such a sweet moment - such a sweet boy :)

A few more photos of T-Ball!

First T-Ball Practice

Elijah had his first T-Ball practice on Saturday. It was a fun time, made especially so by the fact that his coach is his dad :)

I don't like it's face . . .

I asked Elijah if we should make prawns (large shrimp) for Matt's Birthday dinner - he said "mmmm I like prawns" then he got a squeamish look on his face and said "but I don't like it's face!" I started laughing hysterically because they sometimes come with the heads on and have those beady eyes and stringy antennae - ugly! He looked at me with a frowny quizzical look on his face and said " I DON'T Mommy - really, I don't like it's face!"
