Back stairs

Whenever Elliott wants to go downstairs he calls it "backstairs." He says, "Dad, carry hand backstairs."

Super Elliott!

Yesterday Elliott was running around before his brothers went to school saying "Super Elliott! Da-ta-daaa!" I took him to his mom and brothers, he repeated it, and we all practically fell to the floor. So he went around all day repeating it.

When we went to my parents for Rosh Ha Shanah dinner, he refused to repeat! Today again, he was back to his super self. I guess Elliott has learned the value of not giving away his secret identity!

Now, who's going to be his sidekick?

Elliott: Weggie and Fi

Of course every word we speak to the children has at least two syllables, the last one being "-ie" or "-ey".  Eggs are eggies.  Elliott pronounces it "weggie" (as in hard g's, not like veggie).  His favorite breakfast is eggs and toast - we buy a lot of Udi's gluten free breads.  We don't know why, but this has stuck for many months now, he calls bread fi.  As in fee, fi, fo, fum.  Fi.  Why?  The world may never know.
