It was a good day.
We woke up this morning around 7:00 (well, I should say that Hilary and Eli woke up around 7:00, I was allowed to sleep in until 8:30 or so). The wake-up routines were followed, and Eli surprisingly did not wake me up immediately :).
We went and ordered breakfast from the lobby, and ate in our room. We called our driver to determine when we could get a ride to the doctor. We made the decision to be picked up at 11:30, which ended up being closer to 12:15 or so. We went to pick up the swab from Eli's ear, and then on to the doctor. He basically told us that Eli was more or less healthy. It appears that he has an ear infection so we were given some medication for that. Hopefully that can clear up relatively quickly as we would love to take him swimming at the Sheraton. Maybe later this week, but we shall play that one by ear (no pun intended).
We got back to the hotel, and I went with our driver to pick up a internet stick, and a book about Ethiopia and it's many touristy things to visit, and eat. Sadly, we were not able to load up the internet stick with some "time", and will try to do that on Wednesday. Tomorrow is a government holiday, so it appears that everyone was trying to do something at the internet and telephone building.
I got home, and we spent the rest of the day, playing... Eli and I went into the courtyard and played some soccer, and "throwing the ball". We had a late supper, and put Eli to bed. He was exhausted, and was definitely ready for bed. Now, hopefully he sleeps until 7 at the earliest :).
One thing we noticed today, is that Eli was very interested in "Blue Planet" (a documentary)... We have tried to see whether he has any interest in Looney Tunes and Barney, but he spent more time watching "Blue Planet" than any of the other videos we've shown since we've been here.
And now your bonus picture. It has been somewhat difficult to catch Eli smiling a totally carefree smile, on camera, even though he does it a lot. So we attempted to get this on camera today before going to bed. There are many times where he gets the giggles, and can't stop smiling. Here is one of those times!

I love the smile picture! I've made it my wallpaper on my work computer! Love the little guy already!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a smile!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlue Planet is better than Looney Tunes anyday. Let him prefer that! :)
Try 'Super Why'. Makeda asks for it incessantly though she's only successful in her pleas to watch it about once a week. :) Multi-racial and lots of basic learning...plus interactive. Well, as interactive as TV can be. :)
ReplyDeleteYour son has a BEAUTIFUL smile!
