John Mayer and Me

So ever since I've turned 2, my sister keeps asking when I'm going to start talking. She thought I might start talking after eating birthday cake on my birthday.  She really wants me to start talking - which I'm not sure why because there isn't much room to talk when she's around, if you know what I mean. So while riding down the road not too long ago, this song came on the radio and my big Sis goes

"This is Eli's song. He just needs to say what he needs to say".

She's a smart one that sister of mine.... One day, I'll say what I need to say, but for now, I'm going to keep them all guessing - both what I'm thinking and when I might start talking about it.

Have you flossed today?

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar

Apparently, at this Christmas holiday people around my house keep talking about, it's tradition to put candy on graham crackers. Mommy and Daddy call it decorating gingerbread houses, but lets keep it real. All they did was stick some gingerbread together and set out a buffet of candy for me to eat.

I tried to act interested and do like my sister - spread some frosting on my house and plop a piece of candy on it. But why waste good candy. Candy belongs in your belly. So for every piece stuck to the house, I pulled it off, ate it and grabbed another piece of candy off the tray and ate that one too for good measure.

Daddy was a little disturbed by all this candy eating before bed, especially since I didn't eat my dinner, but it didn't stop me. I kept eating it and eventually he gave up and got into the Christmas spirit. That is the perk of having a big sis, mommy and daddy could only put off this decorating thing but so many nights because I didn't eat my dinner. Eventually, they had to let us decorate them because AB was driving them crazy about when we were going to decorate them. So I got a free candy ride, all thanks to big sis and I didn't have to eat a single veggy!

They did make go outside though after all the decorating. In fact, I ran a lap around the neighborhood at full speed. They said it must have been the sugar, but full speed ahead is the only gear I know these days.

They've since put my gingerbread house out of reach. They think I can't see it on top of the fridge, but I do. I'm just trying to figure out what I can climb on to get it. Stay tuned... The rest of that house is going in my belly.

Gotta Get a Banana

When you are starving, waiting on dinner, sometimes you just have to have a banana. Even if that means moving the footstool from the living room to the kitchen and climbing on so you can reach the bunch.

St. Nick Stopped By

You know how I told you I think my mommy and daddy are losing it. Well, I think Big Sis is too. A couple nights ago she put a pair of empty shoes in front of her door before she went to bed. Then stuck a pair of mine in front of my door. Then we added in a couple of empty PEZ candy dispensers. 

We get up in the morning and look...

Our shoes are filled with goodies and our PEZ dispensers are filled with candy. I heard something about St. Nick, not sure if he's a long lost relative, but whoever he is, I like him.

 So I might be the only sane one left in the house, but if candy, cars and trains continue to be involved I'll continue to go along with their crazy Christmas antics around here.

Santa called the other day. Luckily mommy and daddy had just gotten the Santa phone out of the Christmas box, otherwise I would have missed it. I told him I wasn't sure what this Christmas stuff is all about. In fact, I think my parents may have gone crazy - they brought a big tree in the house and they are hanging stuff on it -weird. But, I do like messing with the trains and Tinkerbelle hanging on the tree.

Word has it there might be presents at the end of this Christmas thing. Some crazy elf just showed up out of nowhere. I'm not sure who he is or how he gets around, but Big Sis seems to like him. So he must be legit...
