Couple of weeks ago, Elliott celebrated his 4th birthday.
A lot of growing up, and changes happen between one birthday cake and the next.
It seems like we live our lives in four or five year chapters.
Birth to pre-school might be Chapter 1.
He likes pre-school. And, he is learning to be a good helper at home. Elliott is bright, and loves Sponge Bob and other cartoons. Magnetic building blocks, books, and Harry Potter stuff make him happy.
He is left handed. Lefties have a reputation for creativity and musical skills. Their brains are oranized differently than right handed people. That artsy gene, and doing things his own way seems to be playing out.
Robin and Zackary had a wonderful birthday party at their house just outside of Murfreesboro. Terri and I had the best time.
Elliott loved it when everyone sang Happy Birthday and cheered for him.
We had delicious birthday cake, home made ice cream, little slider sandwiches, coke, and lots of snacks.
Zackary's family from Georgia and Clarksville were there.
Karen, Ryan, and Rylee made it. Will and Torrie were there.
Zachary and Robin's friends, Ethan and Maddie were there. They are awesome.
Elliott's friend, Naomi, was there, with her sweet mom and dad, Teraya, and Nicholas.
When they arrived, Elliott shouted, "One of my friends is here!"
It was a great time.
You may notice in the picture, Robin and Zackary have a litte one on the way. In late December, the world will welcome another little Fair.
We are so excited about that!
Elliot and I have alot in common...
September birthdays, short attention spans.
We both love cake.
And we get really excited if we have one good friend around.
The celebrations continued a few nights later, in Shelbyville. We got together for mine and Karen's birthdays at La Rivera restaurant.
The food was good, and the company was even better. Rylee is ten, and growing up too fast. I sat across from Robin, Elliott, and Rylee.
Elliott had a napkin stuffed into his shirt to keep it clean, and was not real crazy about that. So I stuffed one in my shirt too. We made the best of it. Probably saved my shirt.
He loved the chips and salsa.
