Elliot recently acquired a clock in his room. To the praise and glory of God, he actually does NOT come to get us until he sees a '7' on the clock, in the right column no less. It's a wonderful thing. However, the other night while he read in his bed I suddenly heard screams coming from his room.
Elliot: "No, no, no!"
Me: "What's wrong, buddy?"
Elliot: "Make it stop, mama"
Me: "Make what stop?"
Elliot: With a look of terror, "Make the numbers stop changing - make them stop!"
Me: "Buddy, that's how the clock works. It keeps going forward. That's a good thing."
Elliot: "Turn it off mama. I don't like to watch the numbers change."
Elliot: "Mama, I need three cookies because I'm three years old."
Naked, after getting out of the bathtub,
Elliot: "I shake my bootie, I shake my bootie!"
It is actually the cutest bootie I've ever seen.

absolutely hilarious! it is kind of creepy how the numbers change, i understand elliot's concerns. maddie has had a clock in her room too. when she was 2 she could not come out until the clock said 6 on it. when she turned 3 she graduated to coming out of her room when the clock says 7! she can't wait to turn 4 and come out when the clock says 8. we can't believe she has fallen for this trick.
(this is karsee by the way, i can't remember my google password)
