Eli in Summer

The last week with Eli has been a lot of fun. We took Memorial Day off of work and spent the day with Eli. In the morning, the three of us went running in the Aboretum. After we got back from running. I played tennis for a few hours. With barely time to catch my breath, we bundled up Eli and took him out for a play date. Eli is just about the same age as another boy in his day care class, and they happen to live near us. We went to their house, took a long walk, and then watched the babies eat together at their house. Very cute! Later in the day, Shelby and I played with Eli in the arboretum. We keep showing him animals and plants, but I don't think he is processing the information yet.

Shelby stayed home with Eli on Tuesday and got to spend more time outside with him. Wednesday, Eli spent the day at school. We picked him up and brought him to swimming. Eli enjoys the pool more each week. He now interacts with the toys and seems to enjoy the songs, though his deliberate activity is limited to splashing.

Yesterday I was able to come home a little early from work to take Eli for a walk. We meandered down to Monroe street for dinner. Good times were had by all. Today we will be eating out again, but tonight with friends. After Eli goes to bed tonight, I am going to play softball for the first time this year. Shelby will stay home (since the babysitter is busy), but we will both get to play soccer on Sunday afternoon. Tomorrow we will have another play date with the baby from Eli's day care class. So a somewhat busy weekend is coming, hopefully the weather will hold up.

Off to have dinner!
