He's a Genius!

The other morning, Aaron and I were awoken by the sound of Eli singing songs in his bed. It was super cute. He really loves to sing and on our way to school he sings his ABC's, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and some of his other favorites. He knows the Barney, "I Love you..." song, it's a really annoying song, but when we sing it, Eli stands up and gives me a hug and a kiss when it comes to singing those words. Sometimes I sing it just so I CAN get a hug and a kiss from him!

Eli is also obsessed with "Big Trucks" he points them out to me when we're driving. We recently changed to pull-up diapers because he no longer fits in size 6 diapers. The pull-ups have the characters from "The Cars" movie and we have to try to convince him to wear the Lightning McQueen diapers because he always requests the "Dump Truck" one, and sometimes he throws a fit if he has to wear the race car one. BTW-- sometimes he leaks in the morning, I'm not too impressed with these diapers, but we're hoping to potty train next month for sure!

Eli is learning all about shapes too. When we were driving the other day Eli said, "There's an octagon Mommy!", referring to the Stop sign, I was pretty impressed. Also, Eli has letters that are bath toys, I was quizzing him the other day and he could recognize more letters than I thought he would be able to. Every time he would get one right I would say, "Good job Eli", then he turned around and started quizzing me and would say, "Good job Mommy!". So funny.
