Infatuation

Eli and Maddux are infatuated with Treis. They haven't seen him since just after Maddux was born, but they see pictures and hear stories all of the time. Maddux took about ten minutes to warm up to him, but even before she did, she couldn't take her eyes off of him. She just stared and stared. And Eli was beside himself with joy when he saw his cousin in his house. He keeps asking Treis to hold his hand, sit next to him, play baseball with him, etc. The funniest part is Eli just wants to be with him and talk with him. All during dinner tonight, Eli kept asking Treis, "Do you like that food Treis?" "Do you want some of this?" "Do you think this tastes good?" And at several points during the meal Eli stated, "I like sitting next to you, Treis." These kids will be sad to wake up without him on Monday morning!
