Then we made him clean the yard art, with his tongue none the less.
Then we made him go off in the wild exploring for exotic butterflies at the Natural History Museum in Gainesville. He really liked the museum because there were quite a few Eli sized things for him to get his hand on.... all except butterflies, though he tried a few times.
Then we made him model his new sunglasses (Julbos) and flip flops that Andy got him when he was a newborn.
Then we made him eat chocolate ice cream at the Florida Folk Festival. As you can see, he really didn't like that chore.
We also made him swing with Uncle John, just because Uncle John needed some special Eli attention.
Then we made him play on the jungle gym at Spring Park in Greencove.
Then we made him travel around the house in his backpack... he needs to start getting ready for school after all. Here he is taking a quick breather. He can't believe what a task master mom really is.
When it was all said and done we let him have a little rest in Harper's Hello Kitty playhouse,
before making him play at the splash park at the zoo with Holden and show off his summer abs he's been working so hard on...
Though we don't have pictures as evidence, we also make him put dirty clothes in the hamper (he also likes to take his clean wipes, one by one, and place them in the hamper, just to mess with mom) and vaccuum the house.
Harper decided Eli needed a little break and decided to share her swing with him... for a little while at least, until he started man handling her.
I tell you, Eli's got it pretty rough. Next on the list, rubbing mom's feet!
