This past week, Eli has taken to Jackson's baby. This is the baby we got Jackson when we were pregnant with Eli to prepare him in advance for what was coming. Jackson sleeps with this baby everynight & when we go out of town, we take him with us along with the "blue blankie." So, to say the least, he is not too hip on sharing his baby. (Yes, his name is just baby- we tried to name him, but it didn't take). So Wednesday, when Jackson was at preschool, i let Eli play with the baby (because Jackson wasn't around to have a fit). He carried the baby around, placing him on the bike, on the couch, & finally put him in his booster at the table & pretended to feed him. It was really sweet. So, i called Aunt Becca in for a favor (me being frugal & all). Leah LOVES babies & has a blue million of them, so i was wondering if Leah could possibly be a blessing to Eli & give him one of her babies. So this was how i found Eli asleep that Wednesday night......
Leah (& Aunt Becca) brought him a baby to church that night & he held tight to it the whole way home (in his carseat with him) & proudly showed it to his Daddy when we got home. The baby even has little blue shoes & blue & white clothes to help Daddy feel a little better about the whole baby thing! But lets face it- Eli needs to learn to be nurturing too, because his Daddy sure is!
