Cool Elan

Elan got his annual flu shot today.  He did great at the doctor's office.  Didn't cry that much and was really excited when they gave him a train sticker.

Elan is starting to talk up a storm and repeating every word we say.  We are having so much fun with Elan.  He has the best personality and is always doing something goofy.



Chatham Weekend

After breakfast on Saturday we drove down to Chatham, which is on the cape.  The first thing we did when we got there was to walk down to the beach and let Elan play in the sand.  After lunch and naptime we walked down to the Chatham airport and watched planes land and take off...and one sky diver come in.  Then we spent the rest of the day relaxing with our friends.  Elan had two little friends to play with so that was nice.  Adam and Ryan are 6 months younger that Elan so he mainly watched them crawl around and played with their toys.  On Sunday morning we went and played on the beach again while Mat and Puna went for a run along the water.  Unforutnally we had to cut our weekend short because we had to be back home by Sunday afternoon but it was a great weekend none the less!

Fun week with Grandma and Grandpa Dav

Grandma and Grandpa Dav came to visit for the week.  Since it was Elan's first week in his new classroom he went to school for a few days.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best this week so Elan didn't miss any outdoor activities with Grandma and Grandpa.  They did spend some time in the basement playing and painting with fingers.

 And then washing up after playing with paint!

 Elan love to read books so Grandma and Grandpa spent lots of time on the floor reading to Elan.

 And, of course, they spent a lot of time just watching Elan be his goofy self.

 Elan adjusted quickly to his new classroom and teachers so instead of going to school on Friday, Elan went to the Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa. 

 And then on Saturday we all went to a fair on the north shore; where we ate good seafood and played in the sand for a little while. 

Dinner fun with Daddy

Thursday was the last day Elan went to Toddler Room 2 because next week is the start of the new school year.  Elan had Friday off so the teachers could get their new classrooms ready.  So, on Tuesday Elan will now be in a different room with 3 new teachers and even more friends.  We have been really lucky this last year with Elan's teachers and the facality so we are hopeful that this next school year will be the same. 

Elan is such a happy kid it is awesome.  He is always being goofy and laughing.  He is starting to learn to count too.  For us he will only count to two, and sometimes three but at school they say he can count up to five.  He is also tries to repeat everything we say too.  What a smart little guy!
