Hi Ho Elephant, Away!

I love this photo of Aiden for how serious and silly it is at the same time. I mean, he's looking dead straight at the camera, perfectly posed and stoic. It's the sort of positioning you might see in a gigantic monument to some heroic cavalry officer. Except for the fact that he's riding a purple elephant, complete with circus umbrella.

It's one of his favorite toys, and he likes to constantly climb on and off it. He tries all sort of crazy things like no hands, or resting his feet on the wooden handles, and one time even kneeling on it like a baby Evil Knievel.

I can only imagine what sorts of insane things he'll be doing by the time he reaches the first grade, and I'm glad that he's only adventured as far as this stuffed rocker.
