Ellery says.

As Ellery and I were in the kitchen eating lunch today, Elam started to wake up from his nap (on the floor in the living room.)

Ellery, being the problem solver that she is, hurriedly got down from her chair, ran in and squated down beside him, "Feed Eyum!" she said, as she tried her best to pick him up.

I asked her, "You want me to feed Elam?" 

She responded:

"No! E-ry feed him!" And starts lifting up her shirt to point to her belly button. 

Oh, toddlers. 

Focus

"In the midst of all the noise and chaos in our lives, we need to take the time to listen to the music. Sometimes we lose focus of what's important because we focus only on our problems." 

Today we chose to focus on baby smiles and eye contact.

Free legs and chubby feet. 

Cooing and laughing.

And lots of loving. 

And it's been perfect.
