Lots has been going on...
The big news is Eli had surgery yesterday. He had tubes placed in his ears, as well as his tonsils and adenoids removed. Additionally we took the time to have him circumcised... He is doing very well for only one day after the surgery--- it is funny when you ask him what hurts, he will usually point to a little scrape he has on his toe!
School has been going fairly well- he is behaving, following the rules- the challenge is just getting him to join in with the other kids- I guess that after all you have been with your whole life is a group of kids your age that you would rather spend time with adults or older kids--- the latest report was he was starting to join in a little more... he does know the names of almost every kid I point out to him and ask him... sooner or later he will show his outgoing bubbly personality to his classmates!
Language continues to progress... he is putting together many words... and is trying to tell more stories. He sings about 30% of the ABC song... can count to 10 (most of the time.) Colors continue to be the biggest challenge... everything is blue... and then green... and then blue again... something we have to just keep working on!
So we are now into football season- well actually baseball is still going on with fall ball... but Eli now has a new appreciation for football too! We taught him to hike the ball to Jake... ok, he might not be the best center yet, but he enjoys it! Jake had his first game this weekend and they pulled out a 9 point victory after a slow start. Jake scored 2 touchdowns! Yep- proud mama here.
A few pictures to share... Bathtime- Eli's favorite time of the day... one from Labor Day...and some football pictures- Mom- we did get a good one of you and Eli there!
