We went to an amazing Indian restaurant called, Taste of India, this week to celebrate the end of another grueling semester for Jared at Pharmacy school. We had a great time and the waiter was so kind to Eli and let him wear this beautiful hat and vest. The picture quality is not that great because I took them on the iPod.
Eli put on Grandma's glasses and looked at me with a scowl as he straightened his pencil and said to me, "I am not happy Mom, Not Happy." I bust out laughing and he joined in with his cheesy fake laugh.
I am not sure when this happened, but needless to say, we have watched the Incredibles a few too many times.
These are my cute kids in their new Easter clothes. I would have loved to get them together, but Riley fell asleep when Eli was ready.
We had a great time dying Easter Eggs. Each family member had an egg with their name on it. Mine cracked.
OK, I was just kidding, Mommy wanted to pull her hair out, but Eli had a great time. I couldn't keep his fingers out of the die water and he tried on more than one occasion to put multiple eggs in the cups. But, hey, only 5 out of a dozen broke and there were no spilling of the cups.
Grandpa got a light saber that lights up and makes sounds for his birthday and I am not sure who was more excited, Eli or Grandpa. Eli has played with all day and later that night, Eli asked if he could take it down to his room and sleep with it. I told him that Grandpa wanted to sleep with it. He seemed to be okay with that. The next day, he asked if he could play with it while Grandpa was at work. I told him that Grandpa wanted to take it to work and show all his friends. He understood without a tantrum, but when Grandpa got home, the first thing out of his mouth was: "Grandpa, can I play with your light saber?
However, a few days later, I told him that he couldn't play with it because Grandpa wasn't home. You can see his reaction.
The light saber made Eli so happy, I think he figured it would make everyone hapy. Riley was fussing yesterday and Eli says to her in a very soothing voice, "It's okay Riley, It's okay. I'll go get the light saber."
This is Eli at the store with a cart just his size.
This is not her first feeding, although it is her first time eating peaches. They were really flavorful, perhaps too flavorful for a little one with sensitive taste buds.
If she could talk, I think that she would say, "Mom, Do I have to eat this?"
This week is a major week in birthdays for Eli. It is three of Eli's grandparents, and two of his cousins and one aunt and uncle. So, we thought we would celebrate by singing to them. (Mostly Grandpas, Eli's attention span is only so big.)
