Alright, so I guess a few people may read this blog now, so I am going to try to do a better job posting. I have some theological thoughts I’ll put up soon, but before that I had to write about something even more serious. Elijah and I have had some pretty good playtime lately. He’s getting closer to 2 and developing a personality right along and it’s been pretty fun. This week we’ve spent some time on his new bed, which he’ll have to move to eventually when the baby gets here. We’ve played by building pillow forts and hiding from mom under covers and things like that. We’ve also discovered that there is a dragon cave at the head of the bed between two pillows, and in the cave is a dragon named Albi – just like the “Flight of the Conchords” song below. The major difference is our Albi is not racist, well… not anymore. Oh, and also Albi is really a green stuffed giraffe, but who’s keeping track.
What usually happens is I build the dragon cave and stick Albi inside and ask where he is. Elijah quickly finds him, throws him out, and then destroys all that I have built. Sometimes I’ll yell, “oh no Albi!” and today Elijah yelled out “Albi” too. Anne heard him in the other room and it was funny since she didn’t want the giraffe to be named Albi the dragon. Then, when mommy came in to check in on us Elijah started headbutting the headboard because Daddy laughed when he did it. Mommy became concerned.
It was good fun. Here is the video for the Albi song below.
