BORING!

Eli used to be like his sister, reluctant to let go of anything. But, now, he has a new philosophy. If it is boring, it is out of there and in the sale pile. And, he is now an expert on what is boring. Before, I could not take his SpongeBob cake topper because it came with his birthday cake. Now, he informed me it was really boring and to take it. He definitely knows what he wants, and last night, he pulled what he wanted from the sale pile and left everything else. I guess he had a lot of boring stuff.

We are trying to get Eli ready for kindergarten, encouraging him to put on his own shoes, clothes and coat. He can be pretty independent when he wants to be. We are still working on the bathroom hygiene, but he is getting better about flushing the toilet and washing his hands. Wiping his butt, well, he still prefers we do it, but that is going to have to change. There will be no one to do that for him at school!

Eli’s diet still lacks. He likes very few things, but Huts has told him that he is eating what we are this summer. That should make for some really fussy dinner times. The ironic part is that he eats whatever the babysitter puts in front of him, so maybe he will do the same at school. Maybe he won’t come home famished because he ate nothing at lunch.
