Our own little Tigger

Elijah's friend had a birthday party this morning. It was at a local gymnasium which is a fabulous place for 20 three and four year olds. It was truly a spectacular event. Elijah fell in love with the large trampoline.


He's not very coordinated, but that didn't seem to slow him down.


He still doesn't really have the hang of hopping on the ground, so the idea of repeatedly jumping on a trampoline was a bit too much. He'd bend down really low, and try to do one giant jump.

He didn't want any help and he didn't want anyone showing him another way it might be done. After he'd jump, he'd lose complete control of his body and fly all over the place. He had the time of his life.


I have also included pictures of Elijah playing in the foam pit. This is a true tribute to how far he's come with touching different textures. He loved being surrounded by foam! He wouldn't have thought about touching it with a 10 foot pole one year ago!

We need to get the kids together sometime!
I know they would have a blast together!
I can't believe it has been 4 years!
Bekke will be 4 on Sunday!
(Funny thing when I saw the picture of Elijah dressed up for Halloween...Bekke was something similar...a dinosaur. Weird, huh?)
Elijah looked like he was having an absolutely awesome time on that trampoline.
The foam pit looks fun! I've never seen one of those!
