Funny Eli Stories

Elijah Story #1 - There are so many things that have happened recently that are so funny, I just can't help but share them!! First off, Elijah has resorted to calling me "Abby" on occasion. While it's funny, I always correct him when he says it. Well, last week, while he was at my sister-in-law's, this funny story insued. They had just gotten back from looking at the horses, and while my sister-in-law was getting him out of the car and bringing him in the house, here's what was said:

Elijah: Banging on the garage door, "Abby, Let me in!"
Terry: Mommy's not in there.
Elijah: After a pause, "Daddy, Let me in!"

Elijah Story #2 - Since we are potty training Elijah right now (he kind of started it on his own actually), he has learned to tell us when he has to pee and go poopie (which he's doing really well with). He's also learned to trick us with it. If he wants to get out of his highchair, he'll start to stand in the chair, and point to his diaper area and say "pee-pee". We fell for it a few times. Now we know he's just pulling our leg!! Smart boy!

Elijah Story #3 - After Elijah has been disciplined, his first step (at least with me), is to lean in and give me a big kiss (sound effects and all - MWAH). I guess that's his way of saying "Sorry, Mommy" (or at least that's my thinking!!!)

Elijah Story #4 - If Elijah is getting reprimanded, or told to stop doing something, he has resorted to putting his hands over his ears!!! Guess that's his way of telling us he doesn't want to hear it! I tell ya, this boy is amazing!!

Children can be so funny - especially 20 month old little boys named Eli! He always keeps me on my toes and keeps life interesting!!
