Book Buddy

Thanks to Erik for filling in for me yesterday while I wasn't feeling well. Today I'm ready for AWANA Cubbies (note the shirt). Elijah sat on my lap and we read a few books this afternoon. 

Cleaned up and Worn out...

Mommy wasn't feeling well this evening, so after dinner, bath and more playtime, Elijah and I picked up all of his toys. Not surprisingly, he picked up more than I did. he is an excellent cleaner!

But a clean room comes at a price, Elijah was ready for bed a few moments after we finished cleaning. I hope both him and Amy get plenty of rest tonight.

Matthew 11:28-30

²⁸ Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


--Erik

Whoa

He was trying to be cool by standing on his books...but he slipped. Looks like he's doing fine now. Poor Larry the Cucumber getting sat on by Lil' Larry, my son.

Bag

After a late night at church, I let Elijah play a little before bedtime. He enjoyed putting several toys in his bag, and then handing the toys to me. What's in the bag, Elijah? This drumstick! 

Dino Ride

I didn't get to post yesterday because I didn't have Elijah. He was busy spending time (all day) with Grandma while Erik and I were out. So I'll post twice today. The morning post is Elijah playing on his ride-on dinosaur. This dino has been in hiding for a week or so because Elijah kept trying to stand on it, but it decided to come back today.

Lap

Elijah spent a lot of time on my lap this afternoon. Tired? Fussy? Sick? Needy? No idea. He wanted to play as soon as Daddy was home though.

Short Stay

Grandma came by for a short visit to see Elijah and they played with his toys. Here, he holds the ball as high as he can so he can throw it hard. And he has on Buzz Lightyear pajamas.
