Elijah is the youngest child. He is 2 years old... Terrible twos? Well, some days are rough but other days are fine. He's growing and changing and learning every day.

He is usually very content and happy, smiling all the time. And he loves to give lots of hugs and kisses.

However, he is a very busy child. He thinks he can do everything that everyone else does and usually ends up in a very big mess. He also likes throwing things and knocking stacks over which is fine when he’s throwing a ball or knocking over a stack of blocks but can be quite frustrating when he’s throwing a glass decoration or knocking over a stack of books. And when you correct him, he pokes out his bottom lip and gives you a hard look like you were not supposed to do that. He also calls everyone mean when they do something he does not like. If he even falls on a rock, he'll turn around and fuss, "Mean rock!" Of course, it's the rock's fault!

Elijah is also the most outgoing of all the children. The rest of the family is usually very shy and does not go to other people very well but Elijah smiles and waves at everybody and, sometimes, will even waltz right over to someone else to be held. Of course, he also gives that very stern, hard look to those who want to hold him when he is not interested.

Elijah loves his siblings. He thinks they are all there for the sole purpose of entertaining and taking care of him. So, he quite often tells them exactly what he's expecting and doesn't understand when they have something else to do at that moment. Elijah looks up to his siblings for just about everything, and thankfully, they are great role models.
