Strangers

Just a little something for the baby book...

Eli has always been great with strangers. Never cries when we leave him in the nursery, MOPS, or with a babysitter. But lately he has taken things to a new level. Twice in the last week I have found him sitting on the lap of a complete stranger. First was at the library. We were there for our weekly library visit. We always seem to make friends there while playing in the children's section, but this time he took his book, and backed right up to a man sitting in a chair. Laughing and not sure what the man would do, he didn't even hesitate to pick Eli up and start reading him the book. I assured the man that he did not have to that, but he insisted! Now I know he didn't get this trait from his father!

Yesterday Danny got to witness something similar himself. We were all at the dentist office yesterday morning, and Eli was clearly enjoying entertaining everyone in the waiting room. An elderly gentleman gave him a little bit of attention, and that's all it took. Before we knew it, Eli was driving his cars all over the man, and probably read through 2 or 3 books on his lap. Danny and I sat there laughing and shaking our heads. He had everyone in the waiting room clapping for him at one time as he practiced his jumping skills. He truly knows NO stranger.

My how we love this little boy!
