The Morning Report

Each day, when Eli wakes up, our conversations begin like this:

Me: Good morning Buddy! How did you sleep?

Eli: Goot.

Me: How do you feel?

Eli: Goot.

Me: Did you dream?

Eli: Yes.

Me: What did you dream about?

Eli: Tars (cars).

Cars are Eli's favorite thing in the whole world.

Then one morning he surprised me with:

Me: What did you dream about?

Eli: You.

It's the little things, ya know?

Eli's Day Christmas Shopping at the Mall

Well, it wasn't FAO Schwartz, exactly, but Eli spent a good 20 minutes playing on this interactive screen. I may have joined in a few times.







On the way home...Eli insisted on something sexy for his cousin, Kylie.








And here we are, adding the new train car ("twain taar" in Eli-ese) that Eli picked out (after Daddy got lost in suburban Northern Virginia and actually found the model train store) to the collection.
