It’s been awhile since I posted a picture of a monkey platter. Elijah has been eating more of “our” food and not grazing as much as usual. I’ve also just not been taking pictures of his food…frankly, “the lazy” has been working for me lately. I like “the lazy”.

It’s been awhile since we’ve stopped in at one of our favorite coffeeshop, Affogato. Too long of awhile.

who knew rocks could be so fun?
There’s more graffiti in Bellevue @ Affogato.
Elijah turned 6 years old on September 18th. Yeah, 6…it’s craaaaazzzy. His “birthday week” stretched from Sunday, September 6th until Sunday, September 13th. Here are some highlights…
Mr. Freaky Pants the 1st
stained glass
homemade Lego kits
E's first set of wheels (not counting my old trike); courtesy of my parents.
pirates! (dead ones at that)
extra snuggles with his favorite person
wine cork blow dart guns
people & somewhere there's pet rocks
new Legos
musical entertainment
cake, candles & wishes...there might have been some ice cream too!
I mentioned cake, right?
The following picture pretty much summed up the entire experience for Elijah.
WTF guys?
It was a LONG week. We cleaned. We ate. We shopped. We made stuff. We cried. We screamed. We made new friends. We learned a lot. We saw people. We broke things. We fought over toys. We bitched about random occurrences. We loved. We laughed. We got tons of phone calls. We opened gifts from many miles away. We sang (but not “Happy Birthday”). We will do it all over again next year…all while simultaneously hating & loving it!
Many “happy” returns, Elijah.
Sunday, August 30th (the last day of the Northeast Unschooling Conference), Elijah lost one of his front teeth and then, 8 days later, he lost the other one.
