Eli and I took a mini (1 hour) road trip this morning to see a friend who recently moved. Before her move, we used to get together with Gracie at least twice a month, but unfortunately now the distance is a bit far to travel that often. Gracie definitely remembered Eli, but even though we talked about our upcoming trip and looked at pictures, I don't think Eli remembered Gracie when he first saw her. Not that it mattered, once he saw her toy collection. He was quick to push around her baby-doll stroller, and slide on her indoor plastic slide. He even let her go down the slide before him once when they both got on the ladder at the same time. His generosity continued when it came time for snacks and then for lunch. Eli was not so polite when the two were in the pool, however.
Eli quickly emptied the pool of all smaller toys by throwing them out...not just out of the pool, but over the side of the deck. A few time outs were had, but, as usual, Eli was determined to continue this less-than-desirable behavior. On a very positive note, despite the long drive, Eli did fairly well in the car both to and from Gracie's house. I think it helped that we brought Elmo along...

Doesn't Elmo make everything better? At least it does in Ryans world! Elmo, Lightening mcqueen and Mater ... I don't know what we will do if we loose any of those!
