Simon Says

Eli is still mimicking anything and everything he sees Lehr and I do. It started with him attempting to tighten his shoes/bar at night, but it has since progressed to many things. Eli loves to try to put hats on his head and socks or shoes on his feet. However, his way of putting socks on includes laying the sock on top of his foot. (Hey, it's still cute!!) The latest is Eli trying to brush his hair. This week he was staring so intently at my comb while I used it that I decided to let him have a 'look-see' when I was done. He then brought the comb to his head and tried to run it through his hair.

The next day he pulled his cowboy hat out of his closet and put it on his head. Nothing out of the ordinary there, but he proceeded to crawl around the upstairs and play for over ten minutes, all the while leaving the hat on his head. Also, in addition to taking out the trash for us on Thanksgiving, Eli tried to help Lehr vacuum last night. He seriously stood and held the handle while trying to move it back and forth. It's amazing what a sponge he is these days, but it means Lehr and I will have to be on our best behavior in front of him from now on!
