Eli has said a few things this past week that have given Travis and I some good laughs and since I am kind of using this as my kids scrapbook I needed to write them down.
1) Getting ready to get out the door before work and Eli finally gets out of bed (which is a struggle every morning) and the first thing out of his mouth "oh man, I should be mowing the lawn". Travis' response "remember that when your sixteen!"
2) Eli is really into doing things "my, by yourself" these days so one night he is getting out of the bath by himself and I am helping him a little. He is standing on the edge of the bath and says "I wanna look at that guy" (because he can see in the mirror in the bathroom). I said "well who is that guy?". His response "that's Eli - he's pretty cute". At that moment I wouldn't say I disagreed one bit.
3) Again in the bath (different night) he is playing with a little water cup and says "mom, I going to pee in my cup" so I took the cup away from him. After a lot of whining and bargaining with him that if I gave it back he would NOT pee in the cup I gave it back to him. He says, "Thank you for listening to me Mommy". I say that to him all the time - I suppose I now need to be careful about the phrases that I use because sooner or later one is going to come back and bite me.
Sorry no pictures this post. Hopefully I will be updating with some pictures soon!
what a sweetie :-)
