One of MOST favorite things Eli does right now? He really loves me playing with him and helping him do things (when he's in the mood, of course). For example, if he wants to find a specific toy from his toy basket. I'll tell him I think it's in the basket and to go look for it. He'll say "mommy!" and hold out his hand for me to hold and come with him. Or he'll be sitting on the floor with his cars and look at me and say "mommy!". I'll ask if he wants me to play with him and he'll say "play" while nodding. :)
I won't lie and say that it's never inconvenient. Obviously there are times when I'm in the middle of something and I'd like for him to do it himself - when it's something he's capable of doing. But I tell myself that he's not going to want me to help him and play with him forever. And I should take advantage of it while I can...
Aw, love this post! So great to hear he's growing into such a delightful youngster. Of course, why wouldn't he? His parents are some of the most fun people I know! Thanks for the update, give that animal loving, ninite going, happy helping, giggling ball of goo a big kiss and hug for Auntie K and Uncle Matty :)
