Black Eyes & Boys at Play

It was bound to happen. I just didn't know he'd only be 8 months old when he got his first black eye. He took on a fierce opponent - the Noah's Ark. The seemingly harmless toy was tilted on its side until Elijah awoke the angry giant. It was a swift movement of one hand on the end and the other end flying up, only to result in the tip of the boat attacking his right eye. Poor little guy.

In typical boy fashion, he recovered...and it was off for some playtime at Romp & Roll. Buddy Jett, and fellow adoptee, was there to play. He's exactly one month older and was so excited. Elijah wasn't quite sure what to think of everything - maybe a little overstimulated at first. But the bubbles and parachute proved to be a big hit...and he climbed the mat stairs like a champ! For being the littlest and youngest in the class, he didn't do so bad.
