Monkey See, Monkey Do

Elliott has become our little mirror as of late. Everything we do, he wants to do, too. From imitating our facial expressions and funny noises, to our words (sometimes) and actions. He is also now aware that Daddy goes to school. And that school involves a rolling backpack. When the backpack comes out, Elliott usually says "school!" or "Daddy school".

And when the zipper on Brad's old backpack required him to get a new one, the old one became Elliott's :) So now (especially on Sundays when Brad goes to his study group), Elliott also wants to go 'to school'. One day in particular, after packing his bag with cars ("What do you want to put in your bag, Elliott?" "Cars!") and a book (What to Expect at Preschool, naturally), Elliott and I walked all around our complex 'going to school'. We even waited for the school bus to come...it didn't ;)
