I will be the first to admit that I am no chess master, however it is quite humbling to be pounded into submission by a 5 year old at the chess board. And I do mean pounded.

One thing that is very funny is the times that I am able to catch up long enough to notice him baiting me with my important pieces to see if I bite. More often than not, I don't see it coming.

This game was checkmate in 9 moves.

We were sitting playing chess this afternoon when I noticed this white speck poking through the back of his bottom teeth.

Hopefully he will get his teeth gene's from Anna's side of the family.

Elliott wanted everyone to "make a funny face". So we all proceeded to do so. After looking at us through the viewer, he looked up at us and said, "no like this, you know..." and then rolled his eyes up and stuck his tongue out like he does in every other photo that we take of him.

Elliott made this card in Preschool today. The text read:
Someone like my dad is taking our picture. My mom like to make waffles. She takes me to see grandma.
