This is also a "happy" story.
Elliot likes to play "tennis" in 2 forms. One is Wii tennis (seriously, he does play. I should admit that he plays poorly. But remember he will not even be 2 until September).
The second tennis is batting a big bouncy ball around the living room with a green badminton racket that he calls "tehball wrackit".
He asked for tennis activity this morning while Sarah was out, and I said, I don't know where your tennis racket is (which was the truth), we'll have to find it. He really understands & gets into the game of finding at this point (if he knows that you're serious and not faking), and we began to go from room to room.
The badminton racket could literally have been anywhere. We checked my bedroom, and then the bathroom and the front room, and then down the hall to the back of the house. As we passed his bedroom, he must have spotted it in there; he disappeared around a corner. He emerged into the hall brandishing the racket and grinning, and I said, "You found it! Good job," and he crowed, "I happy."

It's pretty great that he uses the pronoun "I" to refer to himself. I don't know many 2+ year olds who can do that. In fact, they usually say "you" even when referring to themselves. Go E!
