Balloons


This picture was taken in the middle of the night, although the flash makes it look like daytime.

I don't know if I'll ever really understand why balloons are the most exciting thing in the whole world. After our block party, Ellis would not let go of them for anything. Rather than saw off his hand, we let him sleep with them, thinking we would go in and pry them out of his hands when we went to bed at 11:00. Even then, when I tried, he wouldn't loosen his grip. He ended up waking up and throwing a huge tantrum.

Wow. This is a story that Ellis should be totally sick of hearing by the time he goes to college. It's great! AND you can pull about a zillion life lessons out of it: "Never give up," "Don't let go of your dreams," "What God has joined together, let not man put asunder." ..see?

David did the exact same thing with the balloons from Jenna's shower, I finally (today) popped them out of desperation! I'm amazed neither David nor Ellis choked themselves at night with their balloons on. Too cute!
