Mom actually just realized she didn't add the picture border she normally does on the update... she had the cutest puzzle pictures picked out and everything. Oh well... there's the 3 year update coming soon enough!
Eli is really pretty amazing when it comes to puzzles. He has two floor puzzles he's a wiz at and has a few board puzzles he has pretty much memorized. When we go to the zoo now, it is not to see Quito the gorilla, it is to go the the Discovery Center so he can check out their puzzles. Seriously.
School has been a bit more enjoyable these days too, which is quite a relief. Eli has actually commented a few times now that he likes school, believe it or not! They apparently have puzzles there too, and a few that are kind of challenging. He comes home to tell tales of the puzzles he mastered that day.
He's also figured out a way to delay bed time. Each night, just before we put him down after reading a story, having some milk and brushing teeth, he suddenly remembers he has to do #2. We can't very well ignore his plea to sit on the potty, and in most cases, he produces, but it is pretty amazing how quickly his little mind has added it all up to equal postponing bed time... at least for a little while.
We've all been getting over a pretty nasty cold lately. Suffice it to say there was plenty of phlegm between the three of us.... Eli and dad still have a residual cough they are trying to shake. Eli's pretty excited though that out of it, he got to start getting gummy vitamins (it seems that's all they make kid's vitamins in these days) every morning. Guess that's something to look forward to.
Eli's looking forward to Halloween. We're still not sure he understands what it is all about, but does get that he can dress up and visit around the neighborhood. There's even rumor that Harper may join him that evening.
Until the next 3.0 update... enjoy!
