A Cool(er) evening

Today was a fairly uneventful day. I did manage to clean my refrigerator...it had been a while. When Edgar got home we had dinner, and then we walked to the park. It has been a VERY long time since I've been there...it's been too hot, or I've been too lazy...not sure which. Probably a bit of both :) Edgar has taken Eli quite a few times in the last couple of months, so he hasn't been completely denied park fun :) Edgar and Eli practicing his shapes. Eli can now correctly identify a square, oval, circle, triangle and a star. That's my boy :)
I was impressed with increased climbing ability-last time I went with him he needed help to get on the teeter-totter.

Daddy's always game for a fun ride :)

He was all over the park.

He likes going down the BIG slide.

Right before he went down. I was going to take a picture of him actually going down, but on his way down his shoe got caught on the slide and he flipped over and went the rest of the way head first. Pretty glad he didn't go over the edge...He was fine :)
Learning how to use the exercise equipment at the park.

Daddy showin' him how it's done!

I love this picture :) He loves the swing. As he was singing, he was going through all of the names he knew...We was saying 'Bem, Bem, Bem, Bem (ya, that's Ben), Carly, Carly, Carly, Carly, Grampa, Grampa, Grampa, Grampa, Eggar, Eggar, Eggar, Eggar (ya...he calls his dad 'Eggar' from time to time...) pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin (Funny story...Jennifer always calls Eli 'Pumkin' and the other day, Eli called Jennifer 'pumkin'...so I think that's his way of saying Jennifer's name. I think we should ALL call Jennifer 'Pumkin'...)' It was pretty cute. We have been working on learning his cousin's names. I showed him pictures of my mom & dad and he right away said 'Grampa & Gramma', so he's got those down :)
We headed for home where Eli took a nap and then we read a zillion books, and then he went to bed. Now we're watching 'The Big Bang Theory'...yeah...we're dorks.
