I know I've posted about this (Eli appearing to be grown up) before, but I just spent ten minutes going through old posts and I can't find the one I want(ed) to reference, so no linky today.
As I said earlier today, Eli went to MMO this morning quite happily. When I returned after lunch to pick him up, I encountered his 'class' in the hallway walking towards the gym with the main caregiver carrying a large mesh bag full of bouncy balls. The kids were all walking in a zig-zaggy line following her. Of course, as soon as Eli saw me (He was first in line; not a big shocker considering there was bouncy-ball-fun to be had.) he started to chant 'mamamamama' and tried to come towards me. I collected him from the teacher and we left, but the image of him walking down the hall, semi-organized like that really struck a chord with me. How grown up is Eli now? To think, last year at this time he wasn't even crawling yet, and now here he is following another adult towards a gym where he was to run and play with other kids.

This is a big realization in any parent's life - I can only imagine how much more special it must be for you. Just reading about it made me smile. Eli is one neat kid!
