Today started out at the gym and then we went to Gymboree. Eli did so well this morning. He is really understanding the off/on concept that we have been working on for the past 2 weeks. We have been playing this one game were we put the kids on the air log and rock them while singing one potato....all the way to 7 potato and after the 7th potato we pull them off the air log. Eli loves this game and every time I pull him off he points and says on. The last time we played the game when we sang 7 potato Eli garbed my arms anticipating the off!
After Gymboree we headed down the street to the doctor's office. Eli hates the doctors and I mean really hates. It's almost constant crying from the time we go into the exam room till we leave the exam room. Besides the crying the appointment went well. Eli is 20 lbs and 13 oz (not on the chart). I was sure he had to be at least 22 pounds! I think he feels heaver but I guess not. He is 31 inches tall and in the 20th percentile for height. Well, if anything Eli is contestant. He is always not on the chart for weight and always in the 20th for height! Eli got one shot and I think he did well with it
After the doctor's office we went to Grimaldi's Pizzeria for lunch. It's getting to be a tradition for us to go out to pizza after a doctor's appointment. Thomas had a coupon for a free pizza that expires tomorrow so we used it. What stinks is that I have given up sugar for 2 weeks so no pizza for me and boy did it smell and look good, that was hard to retain from eating but I did. I had a Greek salad with grilled chicken. It was good but no pizza! While we waited we played with Eli. Eli got a sticker from the doctor's office and had a good time playing with it.

Eli got his sticker on his head
That's a Double Dave's frequent eaters card, I think he was protesting how long the pizza was taking.
Eli loves his pizza
After pizza we let Eli run around Water way square. He had so much fun running through the fountain and just running in circles. He is also big enough to climb up on the bench by himself. He was loving being able to climb up on the bench and sit. I think several people got a kick out of seeing Eli run around.
Thomas and Eli and neither one is looking at the camera!
I think the shirt has the correct word on it for Eli!
Everytime the water would hit Eli he would run back to either me or Thomas.
Thomas kept crossing Eli feet and Eli had to work to get them uncrossed
Me and the Bug!
Eli passed out on the way home. He was one tired bug! He is still napping right now. I wonder what he has in-store for this afternoon!
