The Future of Eli's Little Sister????

Several months ago, we bought Eli a baby doll in preparation for the big day when he has his very own baby sister. We play fun games with the baby like "gentle with the baby," "kiss the baby," "hug the baby," "mommy's feeding the baby," etc. Because of these fun games, Eli thinks the baby belongs to mommy and daddy. Occassionally he'll get the baby out and bring the baby to us like we are somehow neglecting the baby. He'll hug the baby and then hand him off to us and go about his business as if the baby didn't even exist. Today, Eli decided the baby needed to have a little fun and he pushed him around in the truck. The baby flew out and Eli crashed several times. I can't help but wonder if this is what the future has in store for the Sperle family. Oh, the excitement!!

Yes, that is the fate of this little girl. Sometimes I can't believe Rya made it this far. Josh just thought she was the cutest thing and wanted her to play with all of his toys, force her to hold on to toys. He loved it when she could actually interact. Now, he tries to get her to wrestle him, push her in the truck, etc... At least she's tougher now. Last night he looked at her and asked us, "Where'd you buy her from?"
