Just two small memories from this past Summer and, well, even now in September.
Elliot often asks to touch or feel my muscle. “Touch your muscle?” So I make a muscle with my bicep. He lifts my sleeve and touches it and says, “Why? Why?” I answer, “Because of weights and push-ups. And you lying on my back while I do push-ups. Remember? And when you are older, you can have muscles like this, too.” And he asks again, “Why?” No matter what I say, “Why?”
Elliot often asks to go to another fair. We went to 3 this Summer: the Renaissance Fair, Arapahoe County Fair (twice!!), and the Douglas County Fair. The Douglas County Fair was not good, but the other two were great. Anyway, he had so much fun at the fairs. He is always asking to go again, but all the fairs have been gone for a while now.
