A new school year
September 9, 2008 brought Elliot's first day of school. He started Nursery School at St. Mark's. He will go on Tuesday and Thursday from 8:45am-11:15am. He was excited to get new school shoes and a new book bag. He had a blast on the open house day when he got to go and meet his teacher and play in his classroom. The first day was a little traumatic (for Elliot and mom). He was OK until he realized I wouldn't be staying with him. The teacher had to carry him into the school, kicking and screaming but she said he did great once he was in the classroom. He was very happy that "Mommy came back" and was all smiles when I picked him up.
Cape May--August 2008
We were fortunate enough to make it back to Cape May again this summer. The house was full of adults and kids and everyone had a blast. Elliot got to hang out with his cousins (Kyle, Mikayla, Gen and Evelyn) as well as grandparents and aunts and uncles. He is over his sand phobia and ran down the beach with no issues at all. To the delight of Poppop and surprise of mom and dad, he went "surfing" in the ocean and went deep into the water on Poppop's boogie board. For the first time ever, he slept on a bed and did great, except waking up WAY earlier than normal. We took a trip to the boardwalk and rode on rides, including the BIG ferris wheel. Elliot (and mom and dad) were exhausted by the end of the week but it was well worth it.
