Eli has so much to say now that his sister is in school all day and he finally has one on one time again with his parents. He has so much personality, partly his sister's and partly some of the boy next door, help us! He is so much fun right now. Of course he's also in what should be referred to as the tantrum threes right now too. He's not terrible, but he can become very emotional on the days he doesn't nap. But if he naps, he never goes to bed. But when he's emotional, it's somewhat entertaining, you know, in hind sight... It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, he swings from deranged to sad to deliriously happy; not wanting something to wanting it all with in a matter of seconds. At least we can find humor in it! He has definitely learned the power of a fit, and is taking whining lessons from his sister.
Evi is doing well with school, dance and gymnastics. She has made a friend in the neighborhood her age and makes the most of every waking moment at home playing. Her front teeth are so loose! Any day now she'll be singing "all I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth". If the space between her front teeth gets any bigger, the new ones will be able to grow between the baby ones! And it's started...I got the phrase " ughhh, I do everything around here!". Seriously, my six year old ,who does almost nothing, uttered those words! Really?!?!
We also bought a new used car, the Mazda5 minivan, or micro-mini as Scott calls it. We love it. Great gas mileage, sporty and we all fit! The third day I drove it was home from Orlando after a trip. We were getting back in the car after my arrival and there were ants all over the sliding door rails. We got to the front of our neighborhood and looked back to find ants all over the back seats. We quickly got out and started killing and ant removal only to turn around and find more ants where there just was none. Ends up they were flying out of our AC! No wonder we got a good deal on the car!
Eli-isms
I had a headache and Eli was cuddling with me upstairs. Evi was downstairs yelling for me, Eli responded, MOMMY'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Instead of mommy doesn't feel good, but in the end, it was the truth, right?
Someday he will absolutely die that I wrote this, but...
When riding in the stroller on the way out of a park, Eli started trying to pull his pants down and his weewee out saying "there's something wrong with my weewee!" I'll let you guess what was wrong...All we could do was pull off to the side and giggle.
