Playing by himself

Eli has been playing more and more by himself lately. In the morning, after breakfast, Eli asks to play in his playroom with Zula. He will sometimes stay in there for about 30 minutes, talking to Zula and playing with his toys.

In the backyard, Eli will use his dump truck as a garbage truck and load up grass and leaves and dump them at the "dump." He talks to himself the whole time he does this and it is utterly engrossing to him.

In the bathtub at night, Eli plays all sorts of games. He plays boat basketball, which involves throwing his boat to the other end of the tub and swimming frantically over to get it. He puts soap in his boat and tries to sell soap to the animals sitting on the edge of the tub. He has a fish who drinks lots of water and then sprinkles water out of its fin -- Eli makes up a game about fishy peeing in the tub.

Whew... just in time for a new baby, Eli can amuse himself! YAY!
