Eliot

This post is essentially an Eliot update. 1. Eliot likes gingerbread (here sampling a cookie from a store near the Schulzs) and lebcuchen. His "cookie slot" often has room after, in the case of this dinner, his bean and couscous slots.
2. Eliot has greatly improved at climbing ladders up to slides (for smaller slides he needs no assistance) and going down slides (of all sizes).
3. Eliot still likes to be upside down as he has since infancy. Here he is with Chris by the bamboo in the backyard. Eliot can say "bamboo" and likes to shake it although he is not supposed to..... Once we found a snail crawling around in the wood chips beneath the bamboo. Every once in a while he still says, "Snail!" (but it sounds like snee) and runs to where the snail was to check if it's still there.
4. Eliot has new toys. I bought a bunch of toys from a family moving back to New Jersey. Here is Eliot with his new toolbench. Eliot is really good at puzzles now and still really enjoys books (especially on the subject of animals and trains).
