"Daddy, this came from the apple tree"
For the dedicated Elliott fan, here are three videos we've captured on our smartphones and replayed frequently. With editing skills, they'd be much shorter but just as sweet and cute. With editing skills, too, we'd add a bonus "studio audience" laugh track of where Elliott laughs while watching them (it's not where you might)

We presented Elliott with the new Laurie Berkner Christmas Album today. By the afternoon, he was dancing and singing along.

"I'm not being naughty, I'm just having fun!"
This morning, Elliott came down stairs with a bucket, looking for his "guitar". "Daddy, I play guitar and you put this money in my guitar case, okay?". As the game went on (for 15+ minutes) his music playing got more specific. The currency of choice was post-it notes, which were returned after deposit with the request to "do it again". I had to capture some of it...

Elliott, age 2.5, singing for "money"
The behavior is probably a result of his frequent farmers market visits. He often stops to listen to music and I often give him money to drop in their buckets or cases.
But also, I like to think, this performance results from taking him to his first concert two weeks ago
