.... really don't have that much in common. One is a hulking, handsome former basketball player with a big mouth and a bigger gambling problem, and the other-- man, they have more in common than I thought. Elijah lost his shirt to Judah the other day playing craps. Sorry... insert potty humor here.
Anyway, tonight's little vignette makes this parent proud because, unlike Barkley who famously declared in a mid-90s deodorant commercial (hawking that, of all things) that he was "NOT a role model." Good advice to parents, in his case at least.
Today, however, the Queen came home beaming from ear to ear because Miss Connie, one of the fine ladies who runs the library group in our fine little enclave, had pulled her aside and declared to her that "Elijah was such a good role model for the rest of our kids." I'm pretty sure that the Queen's silence spoke volumes, as Elijah is many things to us (beautiful, disruptive,violent, musical, compassionate, loud, VERY high-energy... none of which are necessarily 'role model' material to 2-year-olds) so Miss Connie clarified: "verbally. We just love how he talks so much and so well."
High praise indeed from a library lady, and we are really proud of him. Now we'd be even prouder of ourselves if we could just get him to stop talking.
I have a chair identical to the one in that first picture...just thought you should know lol
