Silly Mommy, I Eli

We've started playing a game where I ask Eli if he's my little sugar booger or my little sweet potato pie or my little apple dumpling or my little...you get the picture. After a while of this Eli will finally say "Mommy you silly, I Eli (which sounds like E I)" and then he laughs and laughs. Eli's not a big fan of letting me video him right now so you'll just have to take my word for it.

The Zoo!!

The unusually cold DC winter finally took a brief hiatus long enough for us to visit Eli's favorite spot...THE ZOO! We spent most of our time saying hello to our friend Tulip the Cow.
We discovered a few new things this trip - the dinosaur head and an unexplainable fear of the Gorilla House. Normally the gorillas are more popular than Tulip but this time he started to cry as we approached. I have no idea why and he wasn't able to tell me so I guess we'll just wait and see what happens on our next trip.
