Today we celebrated Elliot turning 5 and was such a nice day with family. I am so happy we were all together for his birthday and he had a blast

Elliot, you are such a light in our lives. Always smiling and cheerful, bringing sunshine and laughter wherever you go. I love your silly and quirky personality and how curious you are about the world around you. You’ve grown into such a talented little artist – between drawing/ painting, dancing/singing, and how much you love to act – it truly makes my heart happy. I’ve deeply enjoyed teaching and learning all about nature with you this past year and cannot wait for what’s to come. You are such a smart, thoughtful, and kind boy, it makes me so proud.

Watching you develop has been such a blessing and I am so honored to be your mother. I will always be here for you… to support your dreams, comfort you when you need it, and keep you safe. And I promise to do my best to give you every opportunity to thrive in the best way possible. Keep shining my love. I simply adore you

Two days a week Elliot is home with me so I don’t schedule much work to do. He’s pretty good at keeping himself busy in the studio but can be VERY distracting 😂 So I’m not able to really focus much. This afternoon he was a bit wild and loud but was quite chill while he was drawing. And even though it was only for about 15 minutes, it makes my heart happy when he is doing anything creative, especially art. To many, many more years of drawing my love.

My silly boy on his first day back to school last week. He is such a light in my life. Always smiling and laughing and just overall happy. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Lately I’ve been so proud of him. Mostly because he is finally potty trained. Last Sunday we put the underwear on and didn’t turn back. Within a few days it was official. There were many attempts before this so you can imagine how excited and relieved I am. If you have kids you know how much of a big deal this is. Also, Friday was his first full day of school and he did great. Like I said, I am just so proud of him. Being a mom is a crazy job but I am pretty damn lucky to have this sweet, kind, and amazing little boy to keep me on my toes.
