Youtube Roundup

Here are a few little Youtube clips of Eli's latest exploits and adventures.

First off, we had Thanksgiving this year in Wahpeton at the Vets Club -- with Rebecca's extended family. Here is Eli with some cousins playing "Ring Around the Rosies."



Bingo is a Thanksgiving tradition at the Vets Club, and there are always lots of little prizes for the kids. Eli won one of those little paddle ball sets. I decided to tape his first attempts to use it.



The last video is from Santa Claus Day at our neighborhood Shriner's club. There were clowns onsite making balloon animals for the kids, and Eli asked for a fishing rod with a fish on the end. Here he is working on his casting:

Windy Day

We realized that we had a kite for Eli in our closet. It was supposed to go in his Easter basket, but it was forgotten. Yesterday was very windy, and it jarred our memories a bit. Here are some pictures:

Fly a Kite!

Well-versed in the Classics

Eli really likes my old Vectrex. Whenever we wind up in the basement, we've usually got to do a round of Minestorm or Armor Attack. He loves Armor Attack because it has a helicopter that comes out to drop bombs on you from time to time. He gets kind of annoyed if I shoot them down.

Anyway, let's get to the pictures:

Easter 2008

Eli had fun this Easter season with Brady, Jason, Gina, Finnegan, Liz and Mom & Dad. The evidence is right here:

A visit from grace

Grace came over for a visit last month with Andrea. She and Eli had a lot of fun playing together. They really liked building and destroying couch-cushion houses:

Video Blast

Here are a few videos. First, a Play-Doh Fun Factory demonstration:



Next, Eli dances to one of his favorite songs: the demo track on our 1980s Yamaha keyboard:



And finally, here is Eli's how-to video for the great valentines he made this year:

The Tighty Whitey Twist

Eli tried his underwear for the first time tonight! He usually resisted whenever we brought it up, but tonight I guess it sounded like a pretty good idea. He tried both pairs and didn't want to take them off when it was time to get ready for bed. Here are some pictures:
