We celebrated Eli's birthday at the end of July complete with potty training and a visit from Grandma. Eli has made up for all his usual wildness by being the easiest child to potty train EVER! He stopped having accidents by the afternoon of the second day and it's been a breeze ever since. Grateful doesn't even begin to describe how I feel!
At age 2, Eli is a bundle of energy. He loves playing any sport or game that involves a ball...basketball, football, baseball, soccer...his big prize for using the potty was yet another bouncy ball! He has become quite the conversationalist and we love hearing what's on his inquisitive little mind. He loves playing with the big kids and his sisters and brothers dote on him. He also loves racing cars down the hallway, reading books, dancing, singing, running, playing in the pool, digging in the dirt, and - most recently - the beach. He tries to play the Wii with Finn and we often let him pretend to play with an extra controller. He also loves coloring and will sit sometimes for almost an hour...which is shocking since most of the time we can't get him to be still. In the last few weeks he's really taken notice of Emerson and he loves to hug and kiss her and often shares his blankie with her. When she cries he says, "Mommy, baby cryin'! Baby, what's wrong? BE QUIET!!!" Apparently it's only OK if he's the one being loud! :)
