Eli is really learning the art of conversation. Every meal ends with Eli putting his hands in self-control and asking "May I be excused?" Many times the answer is "No", because Maddux is still eating her food. So then Eli asks, "Can I talk, Mommy?" (I assume because when we practice self-control at other times, speaking is not allowed). My answer to that questions is 'yes', and then Eli engages whoever is sitting there in some small talk. Usually he asks, "What ss-uud (should) we talk about?" first, and then he moves forward with whatever topic we've chosen. The other day he stepped up his skills, asking Grandpa Jim, "how's your day doin?"(On a side note, this is my 1000th post. That's a lot of stories about my kids!)
