While the last blog posting was about Elijah getting ready to tackle the piano, I can tell you that after just a few lessons, he has shown not only an interest, but some ability in tickling the ivories. Of course, like any child, he may soon get bored and decide that watching "Toy Story 3" for the hundredth time is more enjoyable, but with the efforts of Miss Tiffany (pictured with Elijah) and Sarah to keep him on track, I don't think that's likely.
Speaking of "Toy Story 3," we all enjoyed the Disney on Ice production of TS3 in which the first act retold the story of the first and second movies, with the last act dedicated to what happens to the toys once Andy grows up. Needless to say, the little guy enjoyed the show (though not as much as Mom did) and I'm sure all the fathers in the audience became much more engaged when "Barbie" (in tight blue spandex) became a lead character in the third act. We got away cheap at the souvenir stand (only a $15 program, which came with the requisite Mickey Mouse ears). Requests for every toy in the movie came only after we got home.
Though piano and Disney on Ice have been the recent highlights, a carnival for St. Pat's Day (with numerous SOLO trips on a scrambler ride, although Mom did join him initially) also contributed to our own March Madness. If we can get through April and May with just the normal craziness, a scheduled birthday trip that includes both a cavern ride and a water park visit should make the month of June a fun one for the little guy.
