Weirdness Continued...

I haven't forgotten about my youngest child. He is definitely weird, too. Sometimes I think there are too many moments to blog about.

After 4 kids, you wouldn't think too many childish things would be new to us. But, Eli has found a way to be unique (besides his blue eyes). He refers to himsef constantly as "ELI!" Everything he says is "ELI go!" "ELI book!" "ELI shower!" And he emphasizes so much on his name that you think he's going to pop. ELI!!!! He also loves to repeat whatever the kids say, so when I sarcastically asked the kids yesterday if they were ready to go do work, and they all sincerely answered, "YES!" (another weird moment ;) He was right there screaming with them. This does have its benefits. On our way home from our first co-op this week, where I taught all 3 hours- leaving Eli in a separate room, I asked the kids, "Who had fun this afternoon?" All four of them responded with a resounding "ME!!!!" Of course, Eli's was a, "ME! ELI!"

And, on another aspect of our "weirdness", it is a race now in the house to see who can memorize all the songs in "WICKED" first. Yes, the musical is three years old, but it's only a week old to the Hoedl family. Hey, it's a step up from "High School Musical" :)
