Some 1st for Eli

This week has been a week of firsts for Eli. On Monday Eli received his 1st black eye! Still not quite sure what happened with that. Eli and his cousin were playing hide and seek in the back bedroom of Nanny's house when all of a sudden we hear Eli crying and his cousin saying, "don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!". The story we got out of them was Eli was climbing the ladder and his cousin pulled him off because he thought Eli could be up on the bunk beds.

Then on Tuesday Eli received his 1st burn! I was making the boy pancakes on the stove. While I was cooking them Eli was standing next to me watching. He totally understood that it was hot and noticed the fire from the gas burner. When I was done I turned of the burner and Eli asked if the fire was gone and I said yes. But what he didn't understand was that the stove was still hot! He touched it with the tip of his finger so now he has a small burn on the tip of his finger. But now he understands how hot the stove is!
