Trouble

In his short life, Elijah hasn't gotten into a lot of trouble. Not necessarily because he doesn't want to, but because for most of his life he's barely used his hands. Just think about how much trouble you could get into without using your hands. It wouldn't be easy.

That's why whenever Elijah gets into "trouble" our thoughts are usually filled with rejoicing. Jumping and walking on the couch? Woohoo! That's awesome PT. Pulling out all his toys and scattering them all over the floor? Yay! Schreeching like a fire-engine? Um, my ears hurt, but great vocal range little dude! Whining about the toy he can't reach that he can see sitting next to his car seat? Here you go, buddy, you can have it! Pulling knick-knacks and cds off of our shelf? What great dexterity! Tearing down the curtains? Aweso- wait, that one's getting old.

I can tell you one thing....Life around here is never dull. We rejoice over trouble.  And then, we try our best to correct the behavior if necessary.  But first, we take a picture.  You would too, just admit it.
