Little People Day!

Today is just a day at home for Eli & I. I had plans to run, but I didn't even wake up until 8:10...and if I don't get up on time, I can't convince myself to run...very bad excuse. I gotta register for another race...I thought about doing a Taebo video while Eli took a nap...but I'm posting on my blog instead. Not good...
However, Eli and I have had fun playing this morning! I got out all his Little People stuff, and we played.
(Just to warn you, this is a not so veiled attempt at me showing you what Little People stuff we already have, in case you want to get him some Little People stuff for his birthday...or Christmas :) He really likes playing with these toys...and as a bonus, so do I!)
Here is his barn...

His train...

His truck...

His 'Build 'n Fun Playground'

And his 'town' (Don't know the official Little People title). This toy is on load from Krista until she needs it again :) (This is also the toy that he fell on and got a scratch near his eye...) That is one benefit of your cousin having a birthday bash-you get all the toys she doesn't play with any more :) We inherited some fun stuff, and Eli has been enjoying his 'new' things.

Another new toy we got from Abuela was a Mickey Mouse puppet from her recent trip to Disney. He loves that thing! (He really likes puppets...)

Especially biting his nose :)
Ya gotta watch the next video. It's Eli showin' off his moves. He's so funny-as soon as music comes on he starts to dance. Very amusing.

Eli's been struggling the last couple days with, what I think, is a tooth coming in. Yesterday he had a little fever (99.8) and a runny nose. He was a little fussy, and not very interested in food (not even sweet potato fries!). He's not running a temp now, but still no tooth. I have a feeling another tooth will be popping through any day-I can feel it coming! (Side note...I was completely annoyed to see the Tylenol recall! I have never given Eli Tylenol before, and it would figure the one time I might have to, there was a recall. Fortunately, our Tylenol was 'safe', and his fever never got high enough for me to actually give him any, so it wasn't an issue...but you might want to check your children's Tylenol to make sure it's not being recalled!

I just went in to check on him and was greeted by the not so sweet odor of a dirty diaper...I guess I'll get to take care of that when he gets up...

Eli, Uncle Ryan likes puppets, too. Especially the ones that come on during the NBA finals! Make sure you ask him about the PUPPETS!!
