If ever there was a child with mood swings it would be Mr. Eli. We have stumbled right into the two’s and we aren’t even there yet! Eli is the sweetest most loving little boy any Mother could ask for. He is silly and full of life. I call those his halo wearing days. Eli is also very spicy! He is quick to want his way, quick to throw a major fit, quick to tell you no and mean it, quick to hit you and run away, and quick to make his parents crazy! We call those days horn wearing days. Don’t get me wrong though there are many days where he interchanges his horns and halo within only minutes! There is never a dull moment at my house. Eli keeps me on my toes that is for sure. He is every bit what a two year should be and then some. I love him even when I don’t know what else to do with him except send him to Harrison’s house so I can get a break. Thank you Whitney for rescuing me all the time! :)
This past month has been a lot of fun! Now that the weather is a bit cooler- in the mornings at least- we have been out and about making some memories. Here’s a glimpse into Eli’s most recent adventures both inside and outside the house…
Peek-a-boo! Eli walks around under the blanket saying “Where’s Eli?”
This would be a halo day. Mr. Smiley
The nightly ritual of jumping on the bed after tub time so you can’t comb his hair.
Refusing to go to “school”. Now I don’t tell him where we are going until we get there!
Splish splashin’ in the rain!
Eli insists on wearing in rain boots in the house but not outside in the rain!
Milan and I took Eli and Harrison to “Touch a Truck” day in Athens. They loved it!
Mr. Smiley again.
Whitney and I took the boys to Yellow River Game Ranch. They had so much fun feeding the animals and chasing them around. It was a great place to let our two little animals loose for the morning!
The carrots were suppose to be for the animals…
Eli loves Harrison and is always giving him hugs!
Another picture of Eli eating on the counter. This time he is eating muffin batter and lovin’ it! Remember being a kid and licking the spoons? I do and I love seeing Eli do it! We bake and cook all the time. Which leads me to the next picture…
The story of this picture goes like this…
Mama (in the other room not able to see Eli): Eli what are you doing?
Eli: Reading
Mama: What are you reading?
Eli: Recipes
Mama: Where are you?
Eli: In the dining room with your cookbooks
Mama: What are you going to cook?
Eli: Banana bread
I have a feeling we have a little chef in the making at our house!
