Elliot does not say “excuse me” all the time anymore. But he apologizes profusely for anything he perceives as bad or wrong. “I’m sorry, Daddy” for pooping in his pants after I’d been giving him Miralax for a while. He would not stop apologizing. He still apologizes for a glass he broke in the bathroom sink many months ago.

We went to the ducks last week and he loved it! He remembered going last summer. He told me how much he likes it and wants to go again.

Yesterday, before his piano lesson, we went to the library. In the children’s section, we played with toys. We did not read any books.

On the way out and many times last night, including this morning, Elliot told me how much he likes the library. He told him we will go back.
