Elliot 4-Years-Old

Dear Elliot, Last week you turned four-years-old! For months you have been telling everyone that you are 3&3/4. So when your birthday finally came you said, "man it feels good to be four." You are back at preschool though with new teachers and some new kids, you need some convincing to go every morning. Once you are there you have a blast but getting out the door is a challenge. Riding a tricycle has been a bit difficult for you but you have made great strides over the last few weeks. And you can hop on one foot and are working on balancing on one foot. A recent funny converstation with you went like this: E: Where are you and daddy going? M: To a wedding. Our friends are getting married. E: What does married mean? M: Well like daddy is my husband and I am his wife. It means you are together as a family. E: Everyone gets married right? M: No not everyone gets married. Some people don't want to and some people can't. E: I want to get married to Louise. M: No, you can't marry your sister. E: I am going to get married when I am five. M: Actually you need to wait until you are much older. E: How old were you when you married daddy? M: 26 E: That's old. Love you E, Mommy
