Who is Carol?

Last week Elliott and I both had colds and I ended up with an ear infection. Thanks for coming up and taking care of us, Memaw! My hearing is still terrible, but we finally feel better. So this week E was talking about his friend, Carol. "Carol is fun, I want Carol to play with me" and I don't even know a Carol. I was thinking about his favorite shows searching my brain for a character named Carol with no luck. I was beginning to wonder if he had an imaginary friend. Today we were in the car and Elliott started talking about Carol again and he mentioned playing with Brabra (Barb) who is Jamie's mom. I realized he had been talking about Harold who is Jamie's dad! Thanks to my ears being plugged up, I heard E say "Carol" instead of "Harold".
I'm really looking forward to hearing clearly again!

His latest discovery

I need to find Elliott's baby book to document another 1st! Today he was playing outside with our friend Emma and I heard her yell, "Lydia, Elliott is peeing in the mulch!" There he was in all of his glory with his hands on his hips and a huge grin on his face. He watered the mulch two more times before dinner. On a side note, I will have to watch his sweet tea intake more closely. He told me that peeing outside is fun and he will do it tomorrow. I haven't the slightest idea how he thought this one out, but I do know that this will have to be a backyard only activity.

Elliott's Big Back Poach

Hello friends and family! I decided to start a family blog because Elliott does at least one funny thing a day and it should be shared. We have been watching 'The Princess and the Frog' and he loves to pick up new language. Raymond the firefly has a great Cajun accent and refers to his behind as "My big back poach (porch)". So now Elliott is doing the same. Today he yelled, "Help! My big back poach is falling off this chair!"
