We stopped by our friends' house to feed their kitty while they were out of town last weekend, and Elijah fell in love with their drum set. I wish we had the space to put a little set in our house for him. I think he would adore it.
We went to the zoo again on Saturday. Elijah is totally in love with this place. I learned a lesson, though. Do not tell your zoo-loving 2-year-old that you are going to the zoo until 60 seconds before you plan to leave the house. At 7:00 Saturday morning, I said, "Elijah! Do you want to go to the zoo today?!" For the next two hours he was whimpering and saying, "BYE BYE!" and handing us his shoes.
We got there right when it opened, so for once, we were able to get up close to the bear exhibit. It's usually just a sweaty mass of bodies in that area, so it was pretty cool being able to see them up close.
Awwww, I want to give him a hug!
We continue to hear more sounds and see more signs from our little man. It is very exciting to see all of this unfolding. Any time he does a sign or says a word, Dan and I squeal with delight and clap and yell, "YYAYyaaaayyyyy ELIJAH!! GOOD JOB! GOOD BOY! YAAAYYYY!" We get a little overly excited, yes, but we are so very happy for progress.
Elijah's AFOs should be in this week. It will be good to get those on his little feet. Tomorrow we have his first neurology appointment, so please pray that goes well. Thanks for checking in on our monkey!

Oh, I just love the pictures from the zoo!!
And what a musician you have on your hands it looks like! Drums might be good for Momma & Daddy, too... can take out your frustrations on the drums!!
Praying for a good report from neuro today!
Elijah is such a brilliant little drummer!
Good luck for the appointment at the Neurology Department!
Lots of love xoxo
I am so glad the little man is making progress. It is so exciting. I pray that everything will go fine at the Doctors office.
