This picture is actually from a visit that Elias and I made to the playground at Irvington School a couple weeks ago, but things have been pretty hectic and we haven't taken a lot of pictures lately. On Friday I had to work, but Cara and Elias went swimming and then went down to the Powell's on Hawthorne and picked up a couple more Oz books. It's actually been kind of hard to keep up with how quickly he wants to read them - we've been getting new books every few weeks, but he burns right through them.
Yesterday Cara had a lot of homework to do, so Elias and I spent the day together. I asked Elias what he'd like to have for lunch, and at first he wanted chicken strips from the restaurant next door to his school. When I vetoed that idea, he asked if we could have sushi, so we took the bus down to Broadway and met his Uncle Patrick for lunch. After that, we all came back to the house so that Patrick could solve some computer problems that we've been having lately, and Elias had a chance to watch a little more Ultraman - Patrick actually gave Elias the first series on video for Christmas, and Elias loves it. He talks about Ultraman constantly, and the other day we were sitting on the couch together and he said "Ultraman is my favorite superhero now."
Today Cara had some friends and their kids over to watch the Superbowl, but the finest moment in the day was before anyone had arrived. Cara and I were prepping our dinners for this week, and Elias was sitting on the kitchen floor while he played with some toys. "You know what?" he asked. "Everything happens for a reason."
