The Land of Eli

A few fun things came up with Eli this last week. The first has to do with some growth in the feet area. Eli's feet have always been slow to grow. While that is great for our wallets most of the time, he's been wearing old soccer cleats for three seasons now. With a new baseball season around the corner, we tried on a hand-me-down pair that has been waiting for him for over a year now. And....they fit!! (I know that seems silly, but it's something that is a big deal for us.)

Eli is continuing to make strides in his role as big brother. A few days ago Eli was allowed some computer time to go onto Brainpop Jr. and watch some clips about Harriet Tubman and Lewis & Clark. He asked if he could show them to Maddux, so they climbed into the computer chair together to check it out. When I looked up from my work, Eli was whispering to Maddux, "That was 'emancipation proclamation'. Can you say that, Maddux?" So sweet....
