It has been months since Eliot's debut performance in our Primary sacrament meeting program, but I had to get him singing his song on video. This version is a little more "forced" than his official performance (I'm sure having a captive audience of a couple hundred people helped him with holding back a little!), but this is still tender. Needless to say, he melted a few hearts that day (I still get comments about it from ward members). I'm so proud of my brave, sweet little singer!
What's Your Sign?
You have to watch this to the end to see the meaning of my post title. It's reassuring to me, in a very bittersweet way, that we all have our own beautiful heartbreaks. Working through mine one day at a time. As we all are. What a beautiful woman for writing and sharing this song. Take a minute. It's worth a watch. You should probably grab a Kleenex before you do.
"Triple D" Triple Date!
Grant and I with our HUGE plates of ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. And no, though your eyes may deceive you, that is not Mr. Fieri behind me (though I wish it was!).
As Eliot Sees It
Eliot got a kids digital camera for Christmas. After he spent over an hour last night figuring out all the special effects, I was curious about the pictures he's taken thus far. I'll post more of his videos and the special effect photos later, but I thought the assortment of photos he has taken is pretty telling. Here's a sample that pretty well represents what's on his camera:
Cars 2 cars, toys, books, videos, more Cars 2 cars, Dad, Mom, Brother, Grandma ... yep, that's pretty much Eliot's world! If only he were allowed to take his camera to preschool and swim class, there'd be plenty of that, too. Oh, to be a kid again, when life revolves around toys, a small group of important people, and simple pleasures. The world as Eliot sees it is a pretty simple, happy place.
Date Night
I've been wanting to spend more one-on-one time with Eliot lately, so when I heard Beauty and the Beast was going to be in theaters, I thought that would be the perfect night out for the two of us! Belle is my favorite Disney princess, and Eliot loves movies, especially in the theater. We had such a great time together! It made me want to carve out more time for just me and my handsome little guy. He was the perfect gentleman and followed his daddy's advice to be sure to get the door for me and be very polite. So every time there was a handicap button on a door, he pushed it. He even carried his own booster seat in and out of the theater. What a sweetheart.
Headed out the door with our tickets in hand!
After the show. Eliot's summary of the evening was perfect: "I had a great time with you, Mom!" We already have plans for another night out when Nemo comes back to the theaters this fall. I sure love spending time with all the men in my life!
