What a Showoff!

Cooper and his family are moving into a new house, so Cooper spent the day with us so his parents could move without him underfoot. To start things off, Lehr took Eli over to pick Cooper up which meant the boys would be riding in the back seat together. Quite amusing! The boys thought this was pretty odd, so most of the ride was spent staring each other down. Once they arrived home Eli took off running, playing and using his outside voice very excitedly while Cooper stayed a bit 'frozen' in place for a few minutes taking it all in. Not that I blame him; Eli's weird-o behavior was a bit odd. (He continued to 'show off' this way throughout the entire day.) Pretty quickly Cooper warmed up and investigated Eli's toys. He is so much more methodical and overall calm when it comes to sorting through and ultimately picking toys than our son. We nicknamed Eli "the bull in the china shop" quite some time ago because he prefers to literally dive into his toy box, tossing toys to the right and left as he goes until he finds one suitable to play with for 60 seconds or less. Mostly the boys just played side by side, unaware of one another, but from time to time they would take interest in what the other was doing. All in all, the boys had a great day.
