Eli's Wave and Janey's Excuses

Eli-
I'm so excited because during my night-night rocking with Eli he waved his hand "bye-bye" to me. He's been doing the motion with his hand but tonight he would copy me when I wave. It's so cute...he waves toward himself and really close to his face! It's like he is trying to grab something when he waves. I just want to eat him!! He is so sweet! Maybe I can catch it on video tomorrow and post it.

Eli is finishing his 2nd round of antibiotics from his double ear infection and he is finally not wheezing as bad from his bronchiolitis. I think only a few more days of breathing treatments and we will be back to normal. Thank Goodness!! The virus/colds for both Janey and Eli all started in September and it's been one thing after another. I look forward to a sick-free Thanksgiving next week...with children sleeping through the night!! Thank you Lord!!

Janey Janey Janey....
She loves to sleep, she loves to pretend to sleep, she loves to make pretend beds on the floor, she loves to pretend to snore and her latest and greatest...she loves to make every excuse in the book at night to get up one more time and come out of her room.

Her excuses:
1. I need big hug daddy.
2. Mama, I need "tiss" (kiss) Eli.
3. Daddy, too dark!
4. Mama, I need tee-tee in potty.
5. Daddy, I need poo-poo in potty.

So we've been coming down harder on her with the excuses because they were really cute to us at first..especially wanting to give more hugs and "tisses"...but that got old and she knows that won't work. However, the poo-poo and tee-tee is still working because the child will actually go...I don't know how she poops on demand but she does. Tonight was the 3rd night in a row that she used the "poo-poo" excuse to get out of bed and she really does go poopy. And this is after she's already poo-pooed earlier in the day!
