Medic Elliott

A accidental portrait of Master Elliott taken on the afternoon of his second birthday. It was intended to be an action shot as he played "Emergency!", which involves pretending his upturned shopping trolley is a fire service medic truck. We see them every day racing along the street below, sometimes stopping outside the purveyor of questionable pizza across the road to ferry a patron to hospital. Here, Elliott's taking a moment between imaginary trips, siren wailing and lights flashing, to said eatery to administer first aid to whichever of his dinosaurs made the ill-fated decision to dine there.

Kodomo no Hi

Kodomo no Hi (meaning Children's Day) is a Japanese public holiday set aside to respect children's personalities and celebrate their happiness. It falls on May 5. Here's Elliott playing with the beautiful card he received from a new friend in Japan to mark the occasion.

Washington Monument

In the shadow of Philadelphia Museum of Art stands an elaborate 1897 fountain memorialising George Washington. Elliott's keen interest in Victorian-era bronze sculpture dictates that we visit often. Only joking. He likes to go to the Washington Monument to see the moose.

Naptime

Neeee!

Elliott likes the decorative horse head hitching posts on some of the older Center City streets. Sighting one is cause for great excitement. "Neeee!" he'll say. That's Elliott for neigh. And then, "Touch! Touch!" Here he is with the hitching post on quirky Camac Street.

Racer pirate

Society Hill's two dozen unattended tricycles disappeared during during deepest, darkest winter but this week they returned. Here's the happy reunion.
