Back to School, Singing Like a Star and Potty Trained

Although the idea of going back to school was met with some resistance (from all parties), we are so happy to say that he is loving it. On his first day back he had an entire conversation with another little boy about dinosaurs. I have no idea what they talked about, Eli doesn't know that much about dinosaurs, but their conversation was enough to entertain the teachers! He really enjoys the socialization, especially when all the other parents come to pick-up their children and he can talk to them too.

Two additional achievements...he has been accepted onto the show American Idol. It appears they require contestants to be potty-trained and since Eli has pretty much mastered that he can now pursue his stardom...But really, he loves to sing, generally sings on pitch (does not have the greatest range yet) and learns new songs after three attempts...which is equally amazing since he often has no idea what the words mean! We are all finding it so fun to sing together...one little happy family!
