Highlights:
- He LOVES tractors, grain bins, grain carts, augers, combines, and semis. He now practices his "gobbling up corn" so he can help grandpa in the field.
- He has a mind of his own.
- He has a mind of his own.
- He has a mind of his own. Oh wait, I already said that...
- He already wears size 9 shoes. Yikes!
- He loves to read books before bed. Right now I think it's more a stall tactic then the actual thrill of reading the book. He knows some of his books by heart and can finish sentences and knows when you skip a page.
- There is a fine line between being sweet with his baby sister and terrorizing her.

Mom: Can you please help me set the table, Elliott? (for the 3rd time)
Elliott: Of course, Mommy.
Mom: Well thank you, Elliott.
Elliott: You are sooo welcome.
Dad: Elliott, what are the rules when we get in the tub with Claire?
Elliott: No splashing and no scaring, baby Claire.
(Elliott heard the story of how both Grandpa John and Great Grandpa Marvin got the combine stuck twice in one morning)
Elliott: (Playing farm with Dad) The combine is stuck in the mud, Daddy.
Dad: It is? How are we going to get it out?
Elliott: We going to get the blue rope and pull it with the tractor.
Mom: Elliott, how do we get the corn out of the field?
Elliott: We gobble it up with the combine.
Mom: And then what do you do with it?
Elliott: It goes in the grain cart and then the semi.
Mom: How does it get there?
Elliott: With the auger.
Mom: Then where does it go?
Elliott: To the elebator.
