Christmas time
I'll post some pics this weekend.
Christmastime has come and gone! The weekend after thanksgiving we put our tree up. Eli was so excited when he woke up from his nap and saw a full sized tree in the dining room. I had him help me decorate. Growing up my sister and I were never allowed to touch the tree because my mom has OCD :P I want to make sure Eli always has some input. We picked non-breakable ornaments and I let him go to town. Most things ended up in the same spot. I tried to let him decorate with candy canes but after he broke the third one I gave up. His daddy set up my papaps train under the tree a few days later. Talk about an excited little boy! It's so fun to see them get so excited they can barely contain themselves. It took a few days for it to really sink in that he shouldn't be touching the trains. "NO" only deterred him so much. Over all though he did very well!
He had a very good Christmas. 4 days of it in fact! Christmas eve we visited my mother's side of the family. We got to reconnect with people I rarely get to spend time with. Christmas day his first words were "Ho ho!" He was suprised to see the presents under the tree and the big 'thing' under the blanket (his kitchen). He ripped and tore and uncovered his kitchen then immediately had to 'wash his dishes.' I might be turning him into a clean freak ;) Then we went up to the in-laws and he got to rip and tear some more.
Saturday my mom and sister came over. Mom got him a john deer ride on tractor with a wagon. I'm sure as it gets warmer out we will spend lots of time riding around the yard with it. Sunday was Dad's house with that side of the family. My dad got him a big red wooden sided wagon. It's really nice! It even has ATW wheels.
He also got some elmo dvd's which we've watched 1 time too many already.
Before christmas we had one night of peeing on the potty! I was so excited. I'm pretty sure more excited then him. It was a fluke though. He hasn't done it since! He likes to try! and if he goes in his diaper and your not quick enough he'll be undressing himself and taking his dirty diaper off. Everything is "I Do!" and boy does he know how to do a lot ;)
We're still having a word explosion! He speaks very well and has been putting 2 and 3 word sentences together. My favorite, "No, I drive!" Not for a few years yet buddy!!
He's not too much a fan of the snow. It's okay to step in, but not okay to eat or touch. We got some snow today so maybe tomorrow we'll try a little sleigh riding and see if that changes his opinion at all.
His eye teeth have come in on the top and now we are working on the bottem.
Ok well look for some pictures!!! His Daddy just took him for a nice 'lil boy' haircut after a lady at weis thought he was a girl. :P boo

my kids so smart
We're raising a smarty pants ;) He knows is basic colors, red, blue, green, orange, yellow. He can identify numerous farm animals. And his memory!! The other night he was taking a bath and had a lil toy coffee pot in the tub with him. He said he was 'making coffee.' Ed nor I, nor anyone he is with everyday, drinks coffee. I asked him "who drinks coffee??" and he replied, offended almost, "Poppop and Abby!!" My dad and youngest sister. Well, he hasn't spent a day over there for months! Since probably mid september.
Well I'm proud of him anyway ;) He amazes me.
Bedtime is now quite the routine. He has to have 'cook cook', his big cookie monster stuffed animal that used to be Eds. The three cabbage patch dolls, his lil baby dolls, spok (yes, from star trek), and any other lil animals. Cookie monster has to be covered up, and the lil babies have to be under Eli's blanket. The kid is just silly sometimes.
He knows the 'golden arches' of Mcdonalds and is obsessed with frenchfries. He's going to turn into a frenchfry. We can't pull into walmart without him screaming FRENCHFRIES!!! We were driving to Mifflinville a few weeks ago on the interstate and when we got to the bridge he could see the M sign and started yelling in the car 'FRENCHFRIES!!!"
Ok that is all for now ;)
