At breakfast

December 7th, 2007

Elliot's inner monologue:

Here I am, Mama. Over here. I see you and I'm ready to smile. All you have to do is look at me -- I'm ready! It's going to be a really big smile! Whenever you're ready -- just take a sip of coffee and then look over here!

OK, here she goes -- she's going to look at me! Get the smile started . . . she's turning her head . . . aaaand SMILE! There it is - do you like that smile, Mama?

She's smiling back! She likes it! I like her smile, too! I'm going to smile even bigger, I'm so happy! This is my best smile ever! I love you, Mama! Now she's saying something to me while she smiles. This is great. This is the best day of my life. 

Whoa -- now Big Sister is looking at me  -- fantastic! I love her - she's crazy and unpredictable, and OMG, she's coming over to me! WOW! Sister! Right up close - I love you, Sister! I'm smiling so big because I love you, and you're talking to me, and it's the funniest thing EVER!

[Belly laughs.]

Sister is still right up close to me . . . This is the best! I can't stop laughing. I love her so much, I just want to grab onto her and never let go. Here's my chance -- I can reach her hair! Aaannnd - got it! Sister! I'm hugging your hair! And smiling! I love you! You're so funny! Why are you screaming?
