"Mommy you're a girl and I'm a boy"

Eli cracks me up. He says the funniest things, such as this evening, when he was stalling at bedtime, after tucking him in he gets out of bed and says he has to go to the bathroom, which he usually really does need to go, but it is a stall tactic. He said, "Mommy, you pee sitting down because you're a girl, and I pee standing up because I'm a boy. Nana sits when she pees too. She's a girl."

Sometimes when we ask him a question and he does not want to do it such as,
Me: "Eli, do you want a waffle?"
Eli: "No thank you"
Me: "Well, I'm going to make one for myself"
Eli: (On the verge of freaking out)"No, I don't want a waffle EITHER"
When he protests he loves to use the word EITHER. Aaron and I have to laugh.

This morning, Eli and Keenan were playing. Keenan is now crawling, therefore, he likes to be right next to his big brother. Eli was playing with his trains and Keenan crawled up to him and started putting the tracks in his mouth. Eli said to Keenan, "Baby Keenan, that's not s cookie!"

Last, but not least. When we were watching the news after the elections, they flashed a picture of the White House. Eli said, "That's MY house". So I told him, "It sure CAN be your house when you grow up!"
