This Is Why I'm Hot

The three of us went to our biweekly community group dinner tonight. Eli was quite excited to get there and play with the 'older' boys (3 and 5), in addition to a little girl his age. He was also quite taken, as usual, with the 'be-be' who spent some time in an excersaucer/jumper. He did not seem so taken when Daddy took a turn holding the baby, however. He didn't throw a fit, but he kept his distance until Lehr was not longer in possession. Interesting.....

At one point during the night, Eli sought out Laura on the couch. (Quick background: Laura baby-sits for Eli from time to time and she owns a Razr phone which plays music.) He approached her and signed and said "hot?" several times. Apparently he remembered that several weeks back when she came over to watch him, she had a phone that played a song containing the word "hot" ("This is why I'm hot....this is why you're not.") - there is that crazy memory again.

During the course of the night Eli was also introduced to the Tomahawk Chop; Laura and her parents are big Braves fans, so they thought it a must to teach him how to be a fan. (Lehr and I can always claim he's 'chopping' for the Noles, instead of the Braves, right?) Even though we were out quite late, Eli stayed happy and was easily entertained: Life is good.
