Elijah Kai

Today is my nephews birthday, Elijah is now seven years old! I can't believe that he is already seven. Every time I see him, he is bigger and bigger. I took him on a hike with Xavier and Toph a couple of weeks ago and I trip out that he is this little kid now, not a baby, but this kid that can jump, run, climb, and a ton of other kid stuff.

And he sure can talk a lot now, the constant "why" question.
"uncle tony, why didn't you take me on hikes when I was 5 years old?"
-"because you were still too small Elijah"
"why?"
-"because you would've gotten tired really quickly"
"why?"

-"because your body isn't really developed to the point where you have much stamina"

"why?"
-"because your lungs are smaller so they can't take in that much oxygen"
"why?"
-"because you see Elijah, humans need to breathe, and they need their lungs to breathe, and.. oh hey  look at that squirrel!"

I told him since he is seven now, we will go on more hikes. Elijah only has two uncles, and I hope I'm his favorite. Happy birthday Eli, love you my dude.
