Eli's Best Friend

Everyday Eli plays with his friend from next door, Ky. When they hear each others voices, they yell each others names "Li, Li" (Ky's name for Eli) and "Da-Da" (Eli's name for everyone). Ky likes to come right up to our window and yell for Eli to come and out and play and Eli always yells something back in his own jibberish that Ky seems to understand. They hug, chase each other, swim together, play with bubbles, wrestle, play catch or kick the ball and, as seen below, play with each others cars. It really is a sweet friendship. Ky, however, will be starting school again on Tuesday so Eli will only see Ky in the evenings. I think Eli will be pretty bummed. I'm pretty sure when they boys are older they'll have a tin-can telephone stretched out the window as their rooms are right next to each other!


Ky pushing Eli.


Then they switch and Eli will push Ky.
