puddles

eli enjoyed the puddles as we walked the one block to the dentist's office.

eli waits patiently in the waiting room

going for a ride on the "rocket" chair...back...back....up...up....back

eli got his teeth polished and counted...we've got 20!!

since he was doing such a great job and loved the suction straw so much...his teeth got a bubble bath of a fluoride treatment.

wow...those are some big teeth...this was what we bribed eli with while he got his teeth checked and cleaned.  he really wanted to check these teeth out...so we told him we had to do his first and it worked.   simple rewards!!

comparing boys

check out eli in the big boy stroller at about the same age as ethan.  ethan was doing the same exact thing when he was in the big stroller. 

squishy cheeks

eli was doing "squishy cheeks" to ethan.  i couldn't figure out if ethan liked it or hated it.

garbage truck

eli loves to watch the garbage truck dump our trash weekly.  we've even pulled out lawn chairs to sit and watch him dump all the trash cans in the alley.  i'm sure our city worker thinks we are crazy!!
