It feels as though we are finally coming through a stage with Elliot that I have been looking forward to for a long time. He is becoming this sweet young man who can process things a little better rather than resorting quickly to crying and losing it. He is fiercely independent, can work on things alone, happy to have people around him, or not, and more than anything lately, LOVES alone time with his dad. He is the first willing body to hop BACK into the car and drive back to town or to Tims for an ice capp with his pop. If chris is heading down to camp, Elliot is first to the door with his shoes on, willing to make the trek. Once down there, and he tires from what dad is doing, he will go explore the program room, his favorite room at camp. He comes out with waterguns, rubber balls, bubbles, air horns, lego.....anything.
The other night we all headed down to camp to see what chris was working on. He had rented a hole digger to help him (manually!!) dig down 5 feet to put these posts in for a system that will finally rule out the need to train or have belayers on the wall! So, guess who belayed his brother?
Yes...that would be Elliot belaying Isaac. I won't tell you the sound Isaac made when he turned around and saw it was only Elliot holding him up enstead of his dad! (haha)....but its a great system that will make camp run so much easier!!
Oh, the sun is coming up on this guy! He is such an amazing little soul......and always has been!!
It's just so nice not to have crying as part of his main repertoire anymore.....
