Elliot
I'm the mother of a ten-year-old. A handsome funny inventive sneaky reading helpful sensitive long-remembering easily distracted logical independent meat- and carbs-loving self-conscious creative reserved inquisitive loving ten-year-old. Elliot had a birthday a few weeks ago. I love this kid to death. I'm probably too hard on him, and sometimes we fight for control (I know I ought to let him grow up, but it's so hard!), but deep down Elliot and I really "get" each other. I love to share inside jokes with him. I love to watch him develop his talents and succeed. I am so grateful for the help he gives me and for the kindness he shows his younger siblings. It's sad to think about him being on the downward slope of his childhood.
