We spent about a week in Dallas with my sister and her 16-month old Eli. Sam was out of town on a business trip most of the time. I watched Eli in the mornings while Audrey was at work, and then we played in the afternoon and evening. The boys think Auntie Aud is super cool - she lets them build forts in her living room and plays hide-n-seek with them! (Audrey definitely had more energy than I did.) They also had a slip-n-slide, which was great fun. The boys also watched plenty of videos on their big screen and had ice cream more than 2 times a week (like we usually do). Jared seemed to have a little special bond with Eli. Weston was a bit of a bully, but I think we toughened Eli up a little bit. He was pushing back by the time we left! He may have picked up a few more words too. I'm sure it was a bit overwhelming for a kid who is used to having a quiet house and toys all to himself. But he was watching and learning. We tried the pool one afternoon, but quickly decided it was too much work to watch 5 kids who don't know how to swim with just the two of us. We survived, but resorted to the kiddie pool and slip-n-slide at home. We had a fun week!
