Eli: boss of the world

Now that Eli is 2 (and going on 2 and a half), he’s the boss of everything. And his demands, while dictatorial, are also hilarious. Here are some of the things he demanded that I do in the last 24 hours:

“Eat my foot.”
“Do the robot.”
“Stand right there for the morning.” (i.e., stand in the doorway all night long)
“Get me my eggs and ketchup.”
“Go get a book. I stay here in the big bed.”

This is all usually accompanied by princely pointing or, at minimum, Imperious Tone. I guess I can’t let him get away with it for long.

I also realized when I was holding him and singing “Twinkle Twinkle” last night that his little foot came all the way down to the middle of my thigh. Sigh.

A bunch of video

I’ve been meaning to post these, and since I’ve been so slow, you end up with a fun little backlog of video to watch! Here are seven recent videos showing off Eli’s chatting skills (love how he says “Uncle Matt”), his laundry folding abilities, and how he plays at being, uh, slow.

Introducing picture of the day!

We’ve started a “Picture of the Day” feature for capturing Eli hilarity. We can’t actually promise that it will be EVERY day, but we’re going to try! You can see all the pictures by clicking here, and the day’s picture will automatically show up in that box up there in the upper right corner. Enjoy!
