While Sister is Away.....

Mr. Eli loooooves his sister.  First thing in the morning, he asks for her.  When we are about to leave to pick her up from school, and I say "let's go get Edie!" he shrieks with delight.  But, that said, he does get into some fun during her three days a week at preschool...

His very favorite? Sister's stuff! He puts on her purse and struts around with the proudest grin you've ever seen. 

Eli and I hit a playground most days together, and he loves the 100% mom attention.  Even me just sitting on the ground, letting him body slam and hug me can entertain him for quite awhile. 

And of course, the climbing.  Eli is a big climber.  He actually moves chairs around the house to use as ladders.  This is when I miss sister a lot, because she keeps a close eye on his shenanigans.  This sitting on the kitchen table wouldn't have happened under her watchful gaze.
