Happy Birthday Elliot!



What better way to end my no blogging streak than to wish my most favorite little man a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


























It has been an amazing three years! I feel so lucky to be the mom of such a sweet(yet wild), creative, imaginative little boy, I don't know what i did to deserve him. It's hard to find the words to express how you as a parent feel about your child. The only thought that keeps flashing in my mind is how proud I am of him. For funny things like doing the actions to head shoulders knees and toes while singing it in japanese, for going on his potty all by himself (but making sure to yell for me when It gets a little messy), for choosing an apple over many yummy candy choices at Halloween! But most of all for the little things that make me feel so lucky to be his mom, hearing his sweet little voice thanking heavenly father "for the gospel, and family" and of course the trampoline and a few other important things, How he is always watching out for me even though it should be the other way around (reminding me to "slow down mom" even when i am driving the speed limit), or distracting me while he sneaks the unhealthy treats off my plate......

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful little helper, a constant comedian, but most of all a friend.
I love you Elliot, and hope you have the best birthday yet!!!

Welcome back to the Takahashi blog train. I love all the pictures of Elliott since he was born. He is lucky to have such caring parents.
We wish him a very happy birthday today even though he has had his birthday party already.
It was nice to watch the videos that your mom put on.
Hope all is well with you and Greg.
