Playing Soccer

Since Hunter found out that Eli can start playing soccer at 18 months (actually it's SoccerTots) he has been teaching him how to kick a ball. Eli is pretty good at it and tonight I was able to capture it on the camera.


All dressed up with no place to go

This evening, Eli and I decided we'd go swimming at our neighborhood pool. So we got dressed, packed a bag and headed out. This would be Eli's first time to swim this year. BUT, when we got to the pool, the lifeguard informed us that the baby pool was closed for the day for some special cleaning. : ( We're glad they attempt to keep the pool so clean, but were very disappointed that we did not get to go swimming. I'm anxious to see what Eli thinks of the pool. Last year he fell asleep everytime we got in the pool. I bet that doesn't happen this year! ; )



Eating Strike!

Eli seems to be on an eating strike. He eats really well at breakfast....cheerios, fruit and yogurt....but, I can't get him to eat anything else during the day. I've tried so many different types of food, but he doesn't seem to want anything. Here are some pics from an attempt to eat today.

Reading books

Eli loves to read books! This morning, I found him sitting on the floor reading this one. I know...it's upside down, but he still enjoyed it! : )


Playing in the rain...and sprinkler

I told Eli that we could play in the rain sometime. Well, by the time I found his shoes, it stopped raining, so he played in the sprinkler instead. After a while it started raining again and Eli had a wonderful time! He loves playing in water!!!





The Big Boy Potty

Eli is really good at letting me know when he has to "poo-poo" or when he had just gone "poo-poo". So, last week I decided to place him on the big boy potty when he told me he had to go. He was so excited about sitting on it and acted very proud of himself, but no action!! He had fun anyway!



Won't he LOVE these pictures when he is about 15! : )

Washing windows can be fun???

This morning, Mommy and I went outside for our morning check of the bunnies. While we were out there, Mommy noticed how extra dirty the window were and decided that we would wash the windows. What?!?!? Mom was determined so I decided to jump in and help her out.


Washing windows is pretty fun until.......
.....a rolly polly walks by. Rolly pollies are WAY more fun than washing windows!
I even helped Mommy dust the screens. At first we were using a small broom, but with Mommy's allergies and dust flying everywhere, we decided to try something else.
So we sprayed them with water. Actually, Mommy sprayed them and I just played in the water. I love, love playing in the water!!!
After all the fun of washing the windows, I was super dirty and sweaty....It was hot this morning! So I took a "ba"...Mommy calls it a "bath", but I just call it a "ba".
