Quick Update

Eli is obsessed with the squirrels that live in our front yard. From what I can tell, there are two of them and they are often spotted hanging out under the big tree. Eli loves to sit on the front step and watch them, even though he only actually sits for a minute or so. He runs out of the garage and straight to the steps as soon as we go outside each day. Today he tried to chase one up a tree; he really tried to climb the tree after the 'curl'.

Day two of no diaper issues: HIP HIP HOORAY!!! Yesterday Eli was 100% cooperative both before and after his nap (the two main problem times), lying down immediately when I told him it was time to change his diaper. I know it won't last forever, but for now I'm loving this shift in behavior.

Lehr is gone for the week which Eli seems to have sensed already. He has been calling "Daddy. Daddy" non-stop all day. He did go to Mothers Morning Out this morning with good results. He played hard on the playground and even has a 'boo-boo' on his forehead to prove it.

Even though Eli has accumulated some other large toys from friends and family, Eli's favorite is still 'Mater. He lovingly calls him "May-May" and asks for him often throughout the day. We'll be riding in the car and Eli will start to ask "May-May?", or we'll be eating breakfast and he'll look around for "May-May". Also, anything Cars related is "May-May" to Eli, so even if he sees a picture of Lightning or Doc, "May-May" is his response.
