"Ssss"

For those who aren't fluent in Eli-ese, "ssss" is "shoes" - one of his very favorite things right now! When we dress him in the morning, he immediately lifts up his feet and asks for them. During the day, he'll randomly go into his room and come out carrying shoes, then sit down and try to put them on - regardless of whether or not he's already wearing a pair! If he finds our shoes lying around, he tries to put them on (also regardless of whether or not he's already wearing his own!). He points out people's shoes in books, and can even pick out matching pairs, believe it or not! I think if Eli was a girl, Dada would already be worrying about the budding shoe fettish!
