No Points for Tummy Time

That's not what tummy time is all about little Eli.  Guess we'll just give it a try again later. 

You put him flat on his back and he whines, you put him on his belly and he sleeps. 

Tonight Adam started talking about wanting to go see the Aliens.  All I could think is really, they're teaching him that at school.  And then he said I want to go see the firetruck.  Ah ha- ambulance!  He's saying alien but he means ambulance!

We have a little toddler trick we like to pull on Adam.  After dinner we let him play for a while and then we offer him a treat.  When he gets up in his chair we make sure his leftovers from his dinner plate are within his arms reach.  And would you believe that after he finishes the treat he almost always eats a little more food from his plate!  If we just offered him his dinner it would be met with a hardy toddler "NO!" 

So tonight Adam's treat was ice cream with bananas and chocolate sauce.  While Adam ate I was busy feeding Eli.  At one point Adam stopped babbling about bananas and ice cream and said something I didn't understand.  I looked up and he repeated it and then pulled something that was neither ice cream or bananas from his bowl that was covered in chocolate and ate it.  He was saying "Enchilala's too" (Enchilada's).  Gross, but if it gets him to eat chicken and spinach enchiladas I'm okay with it.
