Breakfast with Elliot

I made him breakfast this morning, as I do whenever the chance arises. It’s little moments like these that spark the joy and motivation in my soul, to see him happy, to see him content. It’s a little moment of bonding, a shared experience where we can feel each other out a bit and find our boundaries. It doesn’t always go well, but it’s always rewarding, there is always something to take away from the adventure. Elliot is twenty-one months old, and he will never be this age again.
