Thankful for Elliot

Since this is the week of Thanksgiving I have decided that I should write what I'm thankful for.  I figured I could start my list with my kids from oldest to youngest. 

I am so thankful that I have a wonderful, funny, silly, outgoing, energetic, curious, fun loving boy named Elliot.  Elliot has the most wonderful heart and I love him so much.  I love how caring he can be.  Elliot will help Arianna play with toys, help Levi learn new things..."Levi say the days of the week.. Monday, Tuesday...."  I love that he is so curious but wish it wasn't always snakes.  He can sit for a 1/2 hour to and hour watching snake videos with Casey and just be mesmerized! Then following the videos get asked 20 question about the snakes like...Do anacondas bite you or just squeeze you? If a black mamba and a cobra fought who would win? Why do snakes have fangs? All very valid questions..

I also love how silly he can be, his laugh is infections. He and Levi like to make up fake words and call them funny words.  I also love how he jokes with all of his family by calling his uncles girl names.  Such as calling uncle Tim-Timberlina and Casey-Cassie. 

I love how when he gets done from preschool he runs to me calling me mommy and gives me a big hug.  Even though he doesn't want me to help out in Pre-school because pre-school is for kids and not for Mommy.  I love how he comes out in the morning and says how he got good sleep.  I also find humor in all of his "don't never' comments.  Such as "you don't never put Arianna in the over" "you don't never put Arianna in a snakes mouth" 

I am grateful for this boy I named Elliot and how wonderful of a little man he has become.  Even more than that, I'm grateful God allowed me to be his mommy.
