Today Eli is doing much better with his casts. He gets frustrated a lot less when he tries to pull his knees up to his stomach. Moving his legs up and down (with the extra weight) seems to be a lot less difficult for him - no chicken legs there; they are strong!
When Eli is done eating, he is definitely done eating, and he won't be swayed to continue if he's full. He tends to imitate Will Ferrell imitating "W" - lips pursed in as tight and small as possible. We haven't been able to catch a picture of it yet, but we'll keep trying.
