Fabulous Friday

What a fun filled day! Eli and I started off our morning with a run to Krogers. Eli had his first ride through the store in the front part of the cart and he absolutely loved it! He was being all whiny and fussy when he was in the small seat area but as soon as I moved him to the front of the cart and he got to face forward he was in such good spirits. Than we went home to make breakfast tacos for MOPs. Eli "helped" me cook the sausage. He got his own wooden spoon and attempted to stir the meat like mommy.

After MOPs Eli had his nap and I had to wake him up after only 2.5 hours so we could head to Nana and Papa's house. Eli was not happy about me waking him up! But once we put him in the car and gave him his snack of "trail mix" he was a happy camper all the way to Waller. He munched on his "trail mix" (made up of cheerios, goldfish, rains and fruit snacks)all the way to Magnolia. He loves playing at Nana & Papa's house and was so excited to see Nana, he came running and basically jumped into her arms when she got home from work. We believe Eli can say doggy now too. When he saw Rascal out side he ran to the window yelling (what we think was) doggy! Eli ate almost a whole piece of meat lovers pizza, I say almost because I was telling Eli that he could have a cupcake if he finished the last little piece of pizza that was on his tray and Papa came up and popped it into his mouth. I can't believe how good Eli's memory is sometimes. Back in early December Nana had these mini cupcakes in her cake holder and I would give Eli one after he finished his meal. Now every time we are over he points to the empty cake holder asking for a cupcake. Of course every time lately Eli has been over Nana has had a cupcake for him.

Tonight after we put Eli to bed at Nana and Papa's house, Nana says 'oh no, we didn't move the crib away from the wall. Eli can reach the light switch to the closet". No sooner was that out of her mouth then we hear click, click, click from the monitor. Eli was playing with the light switch! How he could find it in the dark I will never know!

Every since we got sick, I have been blowing my nose a lot. So much that Eli has now started "blowing" his nose. He takes a tissue or wet wipe and holds it up to his nose and blows. It's not actually hard enough to accomplish anything but it sure is cute. You can hand Eli a tissue and tell him to blow his nose and he will!
