Outside

It is a constant battle to keep the boys inside. Being out requires preparation and shutting the gates. They make a run for it every time we open the door. Today I offered Elliott the compromise of watching outside. He thought it was pretty novel.

Elliott came out with a couple of new phrases today. The first was "I did it!" (as in achievement not naughtiness) and the other was "no monkey bed" (eg no more monkeys jumping on the bed).
