funny day

eli was a hoot today. it started at 6am when he crawled into bed with me, he was half asleep and crying, "i wanted that, i wanted that." he then went back to sleep, though he was obviously distressed. when he woke up i asked him if he had any dreams. he said "no." i asked him what he was crying about and he said, "i really wanted that cake!" i asked him what cake he was talking about. he said, "that berry cake. i really wanted it and daddy ate it!" i said. "o honey, that was a dream." "NO IT WASN'T!!!" he said with a frown . the argument continued for a few minutes and he began to laugh a little (probably because i was laughing. i tried to hold it back...but it was so funny). i think i eventually convinced him that it really did not happen, but he still is very confused about the whole situation.

at least i didn't eat the cake:)

then this afternoon while i was putting lyla to sleep, i herd a "thud - thud - thud." i came out to find eli jumping off the end table and flapping his arms. in all seriousness he said, "i'm trying to fly, but i can't." then, getting up on the table again, jumping and flapping away, he said, "SEE!" as if to say, "i really can't believe it's not working!"

so then we're driving and he says, "if we see goliath in heaven, i'll get my light saber and daddy can get his hand gun and we'll really get 'em." i explained to him that i didn't think goliath would be in heaven...he seemed very disappointed:)

and at dinner he informed me that he and daddy had "super corn" and i didn't. i made a sad face and he said, "well...you can pretend you have super corn...if you want."

how fun:)
