Courtland, MS

I got to play this new game today called Elefun when Cortland and I visited Dian and Elaina in Courtland, MS. This elephant sits on the ground with its trunk in the air spitting out butterflies that you have to catch with a butterfly net. Of course Elaina totally won because every time the butterflies came out I would get so excited I'd forget to catch them. Someday we are going to have that game and I'm going to make Cortland play it with me for hours. Mwhhhh-haaaaa.

Elaina just turned four and is the cutest little girl. She fell in love with Cortland and always wanted to hold him by herself.

Cortland was crying a little after he ate and she must have listened to everything I said because about three hours later when Dian was holding him and he was fussing, Elaina promptly told her that "she just has to make a bubble."


Elaina never did get that Cortland is a him and not a her. When left alone with him for a few minutes Elaina managed to sneak a pink bracelet on his arm. After that she and I went off to see if we could find a tiara and some princess shoes small enough to fit the baby, but sadly we were unsuccessful or we would have a picture of him with more than just the jewelry. Dian just kept shaking her head saying Alan was going to have our heads on a platter.
