Beginning

Elias is three and a half years old today. He almost always wakes up by seven o'clock in the morning. He eats bread with white butter and jam, cut in half. He likes The Wizard of Oz, and soccer, and "Father and Son" by Cat Stevens. He used to dream of butterflies. He can't wait to save people, and be a superhero, and fight villains. Sometimes, just before he falls asleep, he lets us know that he'll love us as long as we're alive.
