Eli has a couple of hobbies developing that I thought I'd share.
If Eli had it his way, he'd spend most of the day playing with the iPad, or any computer for that matter. We generally keep them out of his reach because when he does get near anything that has buttons or a keyboard, he goes absolutely nuts! This is what happened at the Kente weavers workshop a few weeks ago. He found an old keyboard in the corner.
But his second favorite past time is turning the pages of his books. He can be found much of the day sitting in one of his favorite few places - next to the water dispenser, on his play mat, or next to the sliding glass door, "reading" his books.
We can only give him hard cardboard books because the following is what happens if he gets his paws on a regular paper book or magazine in this case.
He also has gotten quite good at rearranging our kitchen cabinets...with his music box close by. Everything is more fun when you have a soundtrack playing in the background!
Eli's final obsession is following Rita around the house as she does her work. He wanders around the house with her, "helping" of course. He claps his hands and dances when Rita is around because she really makes him laugh. We will miss Rita very much!
Of course when we arrive home and he has more time to run around outside, I predict his new obsessions will have to do with dirt and rocks, as he can get enough of the stuff when we do go outside to play.

We can't wait to play with him and join in on all his hobbies and obsessions!! We'l have lots of dirt and rocks - and playtime.
