Look where Eli climbed up.. Just kidding, and yes one of us was waiting to catch him in case he made the plunge, but he was quite happy to sit where the junk food is kept.
Eli had a couple cute milestones this week. We have been teaching him body parts, and he can say a few of them. He can say ear, nose cheek, tongue, teeth, and hair, oh and his favorite, toes. Well we were at Aldi's doing some grocery shopping, and I said "oh that's cheap", he then excitedly put his hands on his cheeks, Home Alone style and said "cheeks". Well cheap does sound like cheek...
On another day we were addressing an envelope and he was helping me hold the pen as we were writing. When we wrote "Erie" Eli excitedly grabbed his ear and said "ear, ear!". Well yes we live in Eary I guess.
You don't realize how many words sound like other words until you are teaching someone a language. Eli knows the word stinky, and waves his hand under his nose, and he pronounces it "dinky". When we were working on a project I said scotch tape was sticky, and that confused him because it didn't smell. Sticky and stinky are much too similar.
