Sometime after the two-year mark, parents stop reporting their children's ages in months. This is both a blessing and a curse. You see, Elliott is between two and two and a half. Given how much he changes month to month, it's easy to try and compare him to an "almost three-year-old two-year-old."
What I'm trying to say is that Elliott is growing fast in body and mind and keeping us eternally amused and frustrated. His latest feat has been his superhuman powers to stay up until 11pm and want to bounce around in his bed and play at all hours of the late evening. David and I are accustomed to some down time between 9 and 11pm, so we're both just about done playing "put Elliott back in his big boy bed" after three or four nights of this.
As compared to the beginning of his life, though, it's all relative. We're spoiled, David and I, expecting quiet time and more than 6 consecutive hours of sleep!
Things are really good for us. Our holidays were lovely and family-filled. There is never enough money in the bank account or hours in the day, but we're not alone in this phenomenon. Mostly, we're happy to have amazing friends and family on this journey with us.
Enjoy a few photos and videos.
