Need another tuckle

I just wanted to share the overload of Eli cuteness from this weekend. 

The things that come out of that boys mouth!

Anna deb called him a ding dong, but then thought better of it almost immediately. 

Too late!

 It's Eli's new favorite word. 

What does Anna deb call you Eli? 

A silly goose and a ding dong!!! 

He also repeated "WHAT DA HECK?!" a few dozen times (Mimi!!) and has asked me almost every day "what you gonna do today mommy?"

also...

Mike and I decided enough is enough with the pacifier. 

He only has it in his bed, but he IS 2 and 1/2 next week. 

Soooo, no pacifier today for nap and bedtime and ... He didn't even notice?! Could it be this easy?

super cuteness:

Our bedtime routine is as follows:

Kiss.

Hug.

Fist bump.

Five.

Tuck you in?

Night mommy.

Love you mommy.

Need another tuckle...

(Which means tuck him in again. )

Ha

Love that boy.

We had a fun weekend full of family and just being together. 

Eli comes home and talks a lot about going back to Mimi's house and about grandma Rita and Sarah and ginger. We have to go over what he did and who he saw and where are they all now. How confusing to a two year old that all his favorite people are so far away?! With a (Longaberger) basket and smoke stacks in between. (Our favorite landmarks on 16.)

Both boys were well behaved all weekend and I can't wait until my 10 days off work coming up!

Eli had 2 papas together saturday. My dad has always been Big Papa, but now he is calling Jeff little Papa.
