Elijah has discovered that SPACE is cool. He now likes astronauts and space suits, and galaxies. Its so cute, hes really into it, asking as many questions as he can. He thinks we live on "The Earths."
And according to him astronauts go to space to fight monsters in the galaxies and big planets. Space suits are worn b/c the astronauts will freeze to deff (death) and if they take off their suits, they will break like glass!
Oh the mind of a three year old!

Elijah land ahoy....
I suck at keeping this thing up to date, but I will try my best to do so from here on out. Let me go ahead and tell of some of the adventures going on in Elijah land....
Elijah started school on August 1st, and he is loving it. He went in for an evaluation, to see where he stood as far as development, a few days before school started. He was rather apprehensive about it, as was I. But once we walked in, and talked to some of the teachers, it was so calming and Elijah was able to relax, and do what was asked of him. He had to name some colors and shapes, and jump and throw a ball, and talk to some people. It was all so fun for him, he didn't know he was being asked to play for a reason! Well, that went well and we went on our merry ole way. A few days after that we went to open house, and met his teacher, and got a feel of the class and how it operated. We got to meet some of the parents and kids that are in Elijahs classroom. Lucky for him, he knew one little boy, and that made everything easier as well. His name is Phillip, Elijah knows him from the daycare they went to together. Two days after open house, school started.
On his first day of school,he was still not really wanting to go! David, Pate and I took Elijah into his class and dropped him off. That was rather traumatic, he cried! He didn't want us to leave him, he made a small crying scene, but it was no different from the other crying children. I was sure that once we left, he was going to be fine, as thats how he normally is. Well, I was right! When I picked him up in the afternoon, he was so excited to see me, and that I did in fact come to pick him back up! The mean evil mom didn't leave him at school, despite him thinking I was mean enough to do so! His teacher reassured me that he was fine after we left, and did well at school. And its pretty much been the same since that day.... hes happy as a clam!
So happy in fact that he sometimes wakes ME up in the morning, so I can get him ready and out the door. Why so happy and ready to get up for the day? A long yellow vehicle would be the answer.
He rides the bus, which is truly his favorite part of school. He is super excited to get to school, something I thought wouldn't ever happen, all summer long he cried with even the mention of going to school. Now all of that seems like a distant memory.
Hes doing well in school. His teacher informed me that he doesnt talk at school, not even a peep. I was so shocked, that was news to me. He talks non stop at home, and Lord knows the kids sings non stop too. If hes not singing, hes talking up a storm. Regardless of all of that, school is doing well for him, hes starting to try new foods, and is actually eating more. I am guessing thats due to seeing all of the other kids eating. Hes always been a picky little eater, I don't expect that to change overnight.
His fave songs:
This old Man
Old McDonald
If Your Ready to go Outside Clap Your Hands
I have my Senses
Give Yourself a Hand
Hes learning the days of the week, and all about the weather. So he tells me everyday the date and weather conditions! “Mommy today is September 13, 2007, and its rainy all day long!” Its the cutest thing! I am so proud of him, and I make sure to let him know this.
