One of the ladies who cleans our house has a little boy who is one and a half years old. He's such a sweet little boy. Elijah loves it when he shows up at the house every day. When he first started coming he didn't know what to think about me or Elijah...he was so shy and just wanted to be with his mom. It was hard for her to clean when he was pulling on her shirt and crying for her. I would always try to get him to play with Elijah and I, but he wanted nothing to do with us.
As time went by the little boy started warming up to Elijah and I. He started playing with Elijah's toys more and letting Elijah sit beside him. He loved watching me clap and sing the patty cake song. Now he comes to the house exited and runs into Elijah's room. He will usually find me each day and want to put his hand in mine with some pretend food for me to eat. It's been precious having him around with Elijah.
I've always thought Elijah was so sweet and gentle, but compared to my cleaners son he is so ruff. Whatever toy he is playing with is the toy Elijah wants, regardless of what it is. Sharing isn't something Elijah's so good at yet...this is a good time to learn! Elijah is pretty strong and doesn't realize it. He will push the other boy down when going for a toy and not even realize what he did. Whenever he starts doing that kind of stuff, which isn't all the time, the other boy will usually leave him alone. Hopefully Elijah will learn to share and be a good friend soon. I'm just thankful for a sweet little boy for Elijah to play with.
