Well, Eli took his third trip around the sun and he had a very good time doing it. Considering, he found most of his birthday presents early he managed to act surprised. He started off his birthday weekend with a little dance party with his girl, Stella, our good friend Katie's daughter. They whooped it up and to some kid's CD about Bee's. (wish i could remember what it was but I don't).
Oh, did i mention that it was NAKED dance party?
Stella and Katie gave him his first doll which he loved. A boy doll that was anatomically correct. He went to town changing his diaper and making him pee on a potty, and giving him a bottle. Very cute. The next morning was the big birthday. He started off the morning enjoying his new trampoline which we acquired from someone whose children were grown and out of the house.
Next, he got open one of his presents that he already found. He managed to do a good job acting surprised. I appreciated that since I underestimated my 3 and 4.5 year olds abilties to open up boxes and laying on the ground. Keith was very unimpressed with my ability to hide the gifts. Eli's g-parents came over before his party and to give him his gifts and to help us get stuff to the party location.

Then we went to the pool, swam, ate, played. It was great day for my little guy... Most of his cousins were there including the ones that live in Ireland and they took amazing care of him. It's really great getting to be the baby, sometimes. I really didn't have to keep a eye on him. They were all over him. I couldn't get back if I wanted to. I can now see the case for having 10 kids. Not that I could afford that.
