A Day to Celebrate

Eli is 18 months, and that means.... NURSERY!!!! (at church) Hooray! Evelyn took 6 months before going without crying, then 5 more months after Eleyna was born, then another few months after we moved to California. Eleyna was scared for a long time and took about 9 months before she said a word to her teacher.

Eli walked right in while they were having singing time and started singing along. Jake left him there and he was great. He said "More" a lot during snacktime and "Ghee" (again) after every verse of "The Wheels on the Bus".

He really is adorable lately. He LOVES to sing. His favorite songs are "I am a Child of God" to which he sings, "Ah ah ah ah ah ah .... way" and "Popcorn Popping" - "Ah ah ah see, ah ah ah ah tee." He loves to watch "Little Einsteins" on the Disney channel and always sings along. On our recent trip to Idaho, he was having a hard time the last 20 minutes. Eleyna started singing, and he calmed right down and sang the rest of the way there.

He also loves to eat. He'll stuff his mouth as full as it could possible be, then say, "More! More!"

He has learned quite a few words lately: "Chee" (Cheese), "Kank you", "Balloo" (balloon), "Tee" (tree), "Car", "Ball", "Cookie", "Gampa", "Gamma", and a lot more that I can't think of right now.
