Eli turned 5 today. Seems like yesterday I was at the hospital stunned to find out I was carrying a 9 lb., 14 oz, baby. I remember them holding him up in the delivery room and remarking how big he was. We brought him home, and like most babies, he dropped down to 8 lbs. quickly. Then, he grew and grew and grew, and now, we have a happy, loves-superheroes-of-all-kinds boy.
Eli used to be our wild child, and in some ways, he still is. He has grown up a bit this summer and settled down. He still hates to eat nutritional food, and he still whines a lot, but he has become much more self-sufficient. He is taking care of his bathroom business, dressing himself and letting us know when he is tired. He is stocking Hugs in the refrigerator and getting his own snacks. He is inching his way toward kindergarten in two weeks.
