You are curious, wanting to know how everything works. You like to open and close containers, drawers, windows. One of your favorite things to ask for right now is keys which you take to the door and play with until you get one of the keys in the lock and then you clap for yourself.
You are more opinionated these days. Your favorite answer to most questions is "no". i.e. - Elliot should we change your diaper, "no", Elliot let's get ready to go, "no", Can you take your shoes off, "no"...etc. Quite the attitude at 19-months, jeez!
Books continue to be a favorite of yours and you are demanding we read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish at least three times a day. We often catch you in the rocking chair reading books to yourself. You always look like such a big boy when you do this. We hope your love of books stays with you always.
We are practically living at the park and outside in the backyard as we have had an unseasonably warm spring. You love every minute out there and pitch a huge fit when it is time to come inside. At the park you have mastered climbing around the play gym and going down the slide all by yourself. And you love to swing, giggling as we push you.
We can't wait to spend summer days at the pool where you can show off your swim lessons skills.
Happy springtime Elliot!
Love,
Mama
