ODE TO ELI

Here is a video slideshow of Eli. These are some of our favorite pictures from the last few years.



I can't even describe how lucky we are to have Eli. If I only get one child I'm so lucky that this is the one I got. Here are some characteristics about Eli that you may or may not know.
1- He is very loving. He will come up and kiss my arm, cheek, leg, or tummy for no reason at all.
2- He sucks his thumb even though he says that he doesn't.
3- He likes Shel Silverstein poems.
4- He loves to play with my hair or his hair when he's tired.
5- He calls his private parts his "favorite parts" and doesn't know that it's funny. He just thinks that's what they are called.
6- He loves trains, pirates, Backyardigans, magnetix, and running.
7- In true Brough fashion he can TALK...for a long time...about anything.
8- The sea witch from The Little Mermaid really freaks him out.
9- His nightly prayers consist of him blessing that we can have fun...25 times. And instead of asking for things in prayers he says "make sure that..."followed by "we have fun" or "I have sweet dreams" or "we go camping".
10- He is just very loved!
