Good Times

Eli has had a rough few days. After his 'incident' on Sunday, his health seemed fine, but he's been moody to an extreme this week. I'm 90% sure it's teeth (yeah, those 2-year molars that I've been complaining about for months still have not popped through), but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. Today he seemed to feel much better, though he still cried a little when he ate dinner ("TEEF HURT!!!"). The gem of the day came from one of his teachers. As she put Eli in the car after school this morning she told me that in the past few weeks, Eli has been exceptionally polite. She says that he uses "please" and "thank you" ALL the time...both she and his main teacher are very impressed. Although we haven't changed or increased our amount of 'training' in this area, Lehr and I have noticed an increased politeness also. We both made a big deal out of the compliment today; I could almost see Eli's chest swell with pride.
