http://jumojr.com/?p=272 Eli has put together this list to show not just what he wants for Christmas and Hanukkah, but how he’ll react once he gets it. This post is as much for cute value as for present soliciting: reading it does not mean you have to buy anything!!! But if you do want to shop, here is a link to the wish list on Amazon so you can (please do) check stuff off that you get. It doesn’t have to be bought from Amazon to let you mark it off. We’ll also add more to the wish list if you grandparents go crazy.

 

1. LEGO Star Wars 9496 Desert Skiff

LEGO Star Wars 9496 Desert Skiff

2.  LEGO Star Wars Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator 7961

3. LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter 9493

4. LEGO Star Wars Geonosian Cannon 9491

5. LEGO Ninjago Ultra Sonic Raider Set 9449

Rock Star and Bubbles https://jumojr.com/2011/10/02/rock-star-and-bubbles/ https://jumojr.com/2011/10/02/rock-star-and-bubbles/#respond Mon, 03 Oct 2011 03:05:15 +0000 http://jumojr.com/?p=260 Despite what Ozzy Osbourne may think Bubbles & Rock Stars do go together, at least for Eli.

Eli made a guitar (I’m a little skeptical that he did the whole thing by himself) at school last week and proceeded to perform for quite a while, here is a compilation of his hits:

After Rockin’ around the yard he went inside to do a little cooking….

See all the Rock Star photos.

Then this weekend we went to see the Amazing Bubble Man where Eli got to go up on stage and be put into a bubble:

All those bubbles made the little rock star hungry for a burrito:

See all the bubble photos.

Camping, A Camera, A New Post! https://jumojr.com/2011/09/18/camping-a-camera-a-new-post/ https://jumojr.com/2011/09/18/camping-a-camera-a-new-post/#respond Mon, 19 Sep 2011 04:53:17 +0000 http://jumojr.com/?p=248 It has been nearly a year since the last post here, we’ll try to make it less than a year until the next.

First up, I sent Eli off to Radio Shack with $40 to buy a remote control car, and he came back with a camera. Molly claims they don’t sell remote control cars anymore. Anyway this seems to be more fun for all of us, and a lot safer for our expensive cameras. Here is his first album with his camera:

[pe2-gallery album=”aHR0cDovL3BpY2FzYXdlYi5nb29nbGUuY29tL2RhdGEvZmVlZC9iYXNlL3VzZXIvMTE4MjcwNzA4NjQyNDY4NTU4ODkwL2FsYnVtaWQvNTY0MDg2Mjc5NTI5NDQwNzEwNT9hbHQ9cnNzJmFtcDtobD1lbl9VUyZraW5kPXBob3Rv”]

He actually took his first photos with my camera in August of 2009, you can see his skills have improved a lot since then:

Finally I took Eli car camping for the first time and he had a great time. The highlight was the S’mores:

And the hammock:

The artist at work https://jumojr.com/2010/10/10/the-artist-at-work/ https://jumojr.com/2010/10/10/the-artist-at-work/#comments Sun, 10 Oct 2010 18:45:33 +0000 http://jumojr.com/2010/10/10/the-artist-at-work/ Eli is having a great time painting today, and got so enamored of the lovely blotches of paint that the following discussion ensued:

Eli: “Maybe I should paint my chin.”

Me: “No, I don’t think that would be a good idea. How about just paint the paper, ok?”

Eli: “But I’m the artist.”

Me: “I know, and you’re making a great picture.”

Eli: “But I need to make a great picture on my chin.”

Me: “No, please.”

Eli: “But it’s just what artists DO.”

This painting, by the way, is called “Red boat on a stormy ocean.” I think it’s got legs at auction.

T-Ball! https://jumojr.com/2010/07/10/t-ball/ https://jumojr.com/2010/07/10/t-ball/#respond Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:04:27 +0000 http://jumojr.com/?p=212 IMG_0161

Eli has been having lots of fun playing T-Ball in the backyard so we though the natural next step was team T-Ball, or group T-Ball anyway. After a good deal of whining we got him to bat a few times which actually went pretty well when he was facing the correct way. However fielding he found totally uninteresting:

And even managed to get himself into a fight with his own teammate:

But nothing a little rock meditation couldn’t fix:

And finally some playtime with friends:

The day Eli learned to draw faces https://jumojr.com/2010/05/02/the-day-eli-learned-to-draw-faces/ https://jumojr.com/2010/05/02/the-day-eli-learned-to-draw-faces/#respond Sun, 02 May 2010 20:04:36 +0000 http://jumojr.com/?p=206 Cousin Emily was visiting Eli and I a couple weeks ago, and she brought Eli this cool erasable whiteboard for drawing. Now, Eli loves drawing. Scribbling, drawing in the same spot until there’s a hole in the paper, ordering his patient parents to draw people and houses and dinosaurs for him … all that cool stuff. But the day he got that whiteboard, I discovered Eli knew how to draw faces, which I’d never seen before. And people? It was amazing! Therefore, video.

The first one he drew was apparently not a face, but a, um, “man poop.”

Then, though, he graduated to drawing a “cool astronaut” with a “small face.” Awesome.

The continuation of the astronaut drawing, because, after all, he needs hair.

And as usual with Eli, it all comes back to poop. Sigh.

Eli is 3! https://jumojr.com/2010/03/13/eli-is-3/ https://jumojr.com/2010/03/13/eli-is-3/#comments Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:00:22 +0000 http://jumojr.com/?p=201 We are a little late with this post, but Eli did indeed turn 3 right on schedule on March 2nd. He seems to double his intelligence with each day. Unfortunately he becomes exponentially more difficult each day.

Eli had several great parties, including a lot of fun running around Robert’s Park in Oakland with all his friends until he was ready to fall asleep while swinging.

And what 3rd birthday would be complete without a Thomas The Train cake:

Much to his mother and grandmother’s dismay Eli got a scooter from Dad (don’t worry I got him a helmet and knee pads as well):

See all birthday photos and videos.
