So this is Elijah and Company:
Hard Working Friends
Eli looks up at me out of nowhere one day and says,
"Mommy, all my friends are at work."
"Mommy, all my friends are at work."
The Land Before Time
Eli has been asking to watch the 'Dinosaurs' in the movie The Land Before Time, alot lately. So when we are in Target the other day he looks up at me and says
"My name is Peatry!"
Gotta love it!

Gotta love it!
Baby Brother
We were in the waiting room waiting to be called back for the ultrasound to find out if we were having a baby boy or girl.
We ask Eli "Would you like a Baby Brother or Sister?"
"I want a BOY!"

"I'm good, Baby. How are you?" I ask.
"I'm just being good!"
Woody
Eli woke up in the middle of the night one night to go potty. He came and woke me up and then started crying.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"I miss Woody" He sniffed.
"Would you like for Woody to sleep with you?"
"Yeah"
So I got his Woody doll for him to sleep with for the rest of the night and he went right back to sleep.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.

Buzz and Woody
One morning Scot went in to Eli's room while he was still sleeping. Eli started saying "Buzz and Woody, Buzz and Woody" while still sleeping. He must have been dreaming of Toy Story!

"Hit the road, Marley!" He tells him.
"Hit the road, Marley!" He tells him.
I Like Flowers
Daddy and Eli walked up to see me at work. Eli gave me 2 flowers that he had picked on the way. They visited for a few minutes and then when it was time to go, Eli came up to me and said,
"I like flowers, Mommy."
"Did you want them back?" I asked him.
"Okay!" he says.

I Love You Big Much
"I love you Big Much!" Elijah tells us as he stretches his arms out as far as he can!
Baby Brother or Sister
We have told Eli that there is a baby in Mommy's belly.
"It's a baby brother or sister" we tell him.
"NO brother, just sister. Sister, okay, let's do it!" he says one day.
A few days later I ask him if he would like to talk to the baby in Mommy's belly.
He gets right up to my belly button and says "Hello girl, hello sister!"
"It's a baby brother or sister" we tell him.
"NO brother, just sister. Sister, okay, let's do it!" he says one day.
A few days later I ask him if he would like to talk to the baby in Mommy's belly.
He gets right up to my belly button and says "Hello girl, hello sister!"
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
When Aunt Lissa was watching Eli one evening Grandma Ellen called. She wanted to read Eli a story over the phone. As soon as she started reading, Elijah knew exactly what book it was and he ran to get his copy of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. They read it together on the phone.
The next night Elijah was with me and Grandma Cheryl called. She asked to talk to Eli. "Do you want to talk to Grandma?" I asked him.
"Right back" he tells me while holding one finger up.
He comes back a few seconds later with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

Shadow
I had a scrapbooking party to go to and I took Elijah for a few hours so he could play with the other kids there. Kendra, a 3 1/2 yr old girl there, asked if he wanted to watch a movie.
"Okay!" says Elijah.
She put on Peter Pan.
They both lay down on a blanket in front of the DVD player. Not long after Elijah stands up and starts running around the room.
He is screaming "Where are shadow? Where are shadow? Shadow!!!!"
Then Kendra starts chasing him and they are both running around the room looking for their shadows!
"Okay!" says Elijah.
She put on Peter Pan.
They both lay down on a blanket in front of the DVD player. Not long after Elijah stands up and starts running around the room.

Let's Roll
I was getting Elijah ready to go to school one morning and after we were all ready to go he looks up at me and says:
"Come on Momma, let's roll"
"Come on Momma, let's roll"

Hokey Pokey
I was giving Eli a bath one morning and he stands up in the tub full of water.
"Sit Down, please." I tell him.
He looks up at me with a mischievous grin and starts singing "You do the Hokey Pokey" with all the motions and everything.
I couldn't help but let him finish the song!
"Sit Down, please." I tell him.
He looks up at me with a mischievous grin and starts singing "You do the Hokey Pokey" with all the motions and everything.
I couldn't help but let him finish the song!
Don't Worry Be Happy
We are just hanging out and all of the sudden Eli starts singing as he is playing with his blocks.
"Don't worry, Be happy, Don't Worry, Be Happy!"
Ahhh....to cute!
"Don't worry, Be happy, Don't Worry, Be Happy!"
Ahhh....to cute!

Staying Awake
Elijah was laying down on the couch in Grandma Cheryl's lap watching Shrek. We knew he was getting starting to get tired. A few minutes later I looked over and he was holding his top and bottom eyelids open with his fingers! He was trying so hard to stay awake but those eyes were not complying!
Uncle Justin
Uncle Justin is moving back to Texas and was coming over for a going away dinner. Earlier that day Daddy told Eli that Uncle Justin was coming over later. So when I got home from work a few hours later, Eli was running around the house looking for him!
"Uncle Justin, Uncle Justin, Uncle Justin, Where?" He was screaming as he ran back and forth through the house.
What can I say? The boy loves his Uncle Justin!

Just Hugs
As I pull Elijah out of the bath and wrap him in a towel, I give him a big hug and then set him down to brush his teeth.
"Let's brush your teeth." I tell him.
"No mom, just hugs."
So I pick him up and give him another big hug.
"Sweeeeeze," he says "I love hugs!"
"I love hugs too, babe!"
"Let's brush your teeth." I tell him.
"No mom, just hugs."
So I pick him up and give him another big hug.
"Sweeeeeze," he says "I love hugs!"
"I love hugs too, babe!"
Talking so well
Eli comes up to me and says "Come play cars with me, mom." Just like that, full sentence and everything. When did he learn to talk so well? My baby boy is growing up!
Drumming on Drums
Scot and I were in the kitchen cooking dinner and Elijah was in his playroom playing. We could hear him playing on his drums. He was getting down and making lots of beautiful music. After a while he comes into the kitchen to join us.
"Were you playing your drums in there" I asked him.
"No" he tells us.
"Well then, who was? Who was playing the drums?" Scot asks him.
He holds his hands up with his fingers spread wide, "My hands!"
"Were you playing your drums in there" I asked him.

Bubbles
Eli went over to play at Grandma Cheryl's house for a few hours last weekend. When I came to pick him up, he was holding his Bubble Machine and asking to play with bubbles. Since Grandma was out of bubbles, this was not an option. He was not giving up! He wanted to take his Bubble Machine home too. Finally we explained to him that the Bubble Machine needed to stay at Grandma's house so that she could buy some bubbles and they could play with them the next time he was over.
"Okay" he said and he put the Bubble Machine away.
"Okay, now give grandma hugs and kisses bye-bye." I tell him.
He complies.
Then he said, "Hugs and kiss for bubbles?"
He wanted to hug the bubbles bye-bye too! What can I say, the boy loves his bubbles!
"Okay" he said and he put the Bubble Machine away.
"Okay, now give grandma hugs and kisses bye-bye." I tell him.
He complies.
Then he said, "Hugs and kiss for bubbles?"
He wanted to hug the bubbles bye-bye too! What can I say, the boy loves his bubbles!
I don't want to hear it
Grandma Cheryl was over a few weeks ago and was trying to teach Eli about Easter and Peter Cotton Tail. As soon as she started singing, he stuck a finger in each ear and shook his head "no". It was so funny! "Am I really that tone deaf?" Grandma Cheryl asked.

Candy Store
While Aunt Linda and Uncle Rodney were here we went into the Ouray Candy Factory. As a very special treat we let Eli pick out a piece of candy. He chose a small piece of chocolate with rainbow sprinkles on it. As soon as we handed it to him he stuffed the whole piece into his mouth and soon there was chocolate all over his face! "I like it!" he said and then asked for more.
Some of my Favorites
Some of my favorites that Eli says:
His Red Beanbag is his "Greenbag"
Icicle are "Popsicle"
Hot Chocolate is "Almost Coffee"
Hold me is "I want to hold you"
"Is that you Mommy?" "Is that you Daddy?" When we come home
"I love you so much" "I so love you"
"Good Morning" Anytime of the Day!!

Sledding
Aunt Linda and Uncle Rodney came up for a visit from Texas last week and we had a blast! One day we all went up to Ouray to go sledding. It was Eli's first time sledding so I was not sure if he would like it or not. He was bundled up in too many layers to count! He had on his longjohns, pants and shirt, socks and snow boots, snow suit, winter hat and gloves and his winter coat over it all! He was a mini marshmallow! When we got to the sledding hill Eli was the first to jump in the sled. We had a green plastic one Grandma Cheryl had gotten him for Christmas that we tried out first. We also had borrowed a few other sleds from Grandpa Don.
With Elijah in front and Mommy behind, we wasted no time and went right down the hill. Eli started screaming "YEEEEE HAAAWWW, YEEEEE HAAAWWW !!!" The whole way down. It was too cute! As soon as we got to the bottom of the hill he looked up at me and said "Again!".
So we all took turns sledding down the hill with Eli and pulling him back up. I think he went down just about every time! He Loved it. One time, when we had made our way down to the bottom I was getting him in the sled ready to pull him back up the sled started sliding backwards, down the hill further with only Eli in it. I had a hold of the rope that was tired to the sled so I just let him go a little ways by himself in the sled while holding on to the rope and running with it. After a few feet, Eli rolled out of the sled! He rolled straight into the snow and down the hill a foot or so. Immediately he sat up and said "More!" What a little dare devil!
After an hour or so he told us he was "all done" and that was that. A wonder time, thanks Aunt Linda and Uncle Rodney!

Happy Tines Day!
Eli was so happy to make and pass out Valentines to his classmates at school. When we were making them he would say "Happy Tines Day". Then we decorated them with heart stickers which he kept calling "Apples". It was too much fun!
Goodnight Sweetie
The other day me and Eli were up in the morning getting ready for work and school. Daddy was still in bed, one of the few mornings he gets to sleep in. Eli goes to the bedroom door, peeks his head in and says "Daddy sleeping?". Scot lifts his head giving Eli the green light to come in. He jumps in bed with Daddy and snuggles with him for a few minutes. After he is done I hear Eli get out of bed, walk out of the room and close the bedroom door. Then he says "Goodnight Sweetie!"
Dentist Appointment
We took Elijah to the Dentist yesterday and he did great! He loved to ride up and down in the chair and clean his teeth with the electric tool brush! He also learned how to floss his teeth. One of his teeth has a "developmental weak spot" in the enamel so we have to go to another dentist for a check-up, but besides that everything looked great. Good job Eli!

Almost Tired
Elijah wasn't feeling very well yesterday and he wanted to be held. He reached his arms up for me to hold him. When I snatched him up he lay his head down on my shoulder and told me "I almost tired" as he let out a big yawn.

Favorite Color?
We went to Wal-Mart last night and I let Eli pick out a new lunch box. He is getting so good with his colors! I showed him a red, blue and green lunch box and without thinking twice he snatched the green one out of my hand and screamed "GREEN!". As Grandma Ellen would say "He's so smart :)"
Just Peanut Butter
I have been trying to explain the difference between Butter and Peanut Butter to Elijah. He wants to call them both Peanut Butter.
"No" I tell him "This one is just butter"
When we are in the supermarket, I pick up a tub of butter.
"It is Just Peanut Butter!" He tells me sternly.
I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried :)
"No" I tell him "This one is just butter"

Supermarket Nap
We were shopping in City Market last night and Eli was getting tired. He was in the large part of the grocery basket. I had some reusable grocery bags in the cart and I told him to lay down and use them for a pillow. He laid his head down and yelled "BE QUIET EVERYBODY!"

I say "No Baby, You say 'I'm Done'"
"No, Mommy, Back up Mommy, Mine Done, Back up Mommy!"
I say "No Baby, You say 'I'm Done'"
"No, Mommy, Back up Mommy, Mine Done, Back up Mommy!"

Yummy Yoga
Tonight Elijah decided to jump in and work out with me as I sweated to Leslie Sansone's 5 Day Slim Down. He got those feet moving as Leslie asked for kicks and he chased me around the room during the power mile, but my favorite time was the cool down. There is a set of Yoga poses and he tried oh so hard to precisely do them as he said "alllmmmmost therrrre". When we were done, I said "Give me five for doing yoga with Mommy" and he went to Daddy and told him he did "yogurt with Mommy". Oh man, I love this boy!
"I'm So Tired"
I wake up in the morning and, as usual, when I turn the shower water on I hear the pitter patter of little footsteps coming towards the bathroom. A very tired little boy looks up at me and with half open eyes says "I tired".
"Why don't you go lay back down in bed Elijah" I tell him.
"No"
"Okay" I say knowing this is a lost cause.
"Back down" he says changing his mind, as he pulls open the bathroom door and walks into his bedroom.
I follow him with my eyes as he crawls into his bed and lays down. This is a first. I leave the bathroom door cracked in case he changes his mind, and get into the shower. As soon as my last foot touches the shower floor I hear the bathroom door slam shut. I peak out of the shower curtain, only to see my son holding his turtle. This is the turtle that lights up the moon and stars on his bedroom ceiling every night when he is put to bed.
I ask him "Did you need your turtle?"
"Yeah" He says with a huge smile on his face.
"Did you decide not to lay back down?"
"Shower" He says reaching for me as he sets his turtle down on the floor.
I scoop him up and start the day, tired or not.
"Why don't you go lay back down in bed Elijah" I tell him.
"No"

All Better
I wake up at 2 am to Elijah crying. I get out of bed thinking that I really don't want to! When I get into his room Eli is stuck in between two of his giant stuffed animals, a huge rainbow colored giraffe and an overstuffed lion, on the floor crying. I pick him up and lay him back in his bed. He tells me "hurt" as he points to his throat and tells me to kiss it, so I do. He then says "all better" and lays down on his 'Buzz and Woody' pillow and goes right back to sleep. I know one day my kiss will not be enough to make it all better for him but for now, for today, that is enough, and that is perfect!
Let's Get Started
New to blogging, I have decided to try it out. I have so many thoughts go through my head on a daily basis and I think "I should be writing this down so I don't forget it one day". So today is the day! Let's get started! No more memories forgotten!
