We had our last swim class this morning. Eli did fine and for the firs
t time he successfully blew bubbles. Usually he will blow a raspberry above water, but as soon as his face is submerged, he takes water in and coughs for a few minutes. Today he just continued to blow, pleasing the teacher and mom equally.After his (short!) nap, Eli and I went for a walk at the river. This is usually a twice-a-week-minimum occurrence, but the colder, windier last few weeks have prevented that. Eli seemed to really enjoy being out with the dogs and people again. Then he was absolutely A+ behaved tonight with Lehr and I. For those of you who follow Babywise and/or Toddlerwise, we've been working on couch-time and blanket-time combined in the last month or so. We've had our ups and downs, but tonight was by far the most successful ever. Fifteen full minutes of Eli on his blanket and us on the couch without so much as a whimper or a suggesti
on of an escape. (YEAH!!)One last note: one of Eli's big Christmas presents finally arrived today. He already received it (out west), but due to Fed Ex holding it hostage for a full month, we did not receive it in our house until now. For several years my parents have been carting around a small rocking chair I had as a little girl. It suffered some breaks and scratches as a result, but a few months back my dad offered to fix it up for Eli. He did that so well that it looks at least as good as I remember it as a child. Anyway, Eli was happy to see it (finally) arrive safe and sound yesterday.
