Talking and Reading
Jefferson said "I cannot live without books" and Eli agrees wholeheartedly. Books are read throughout the day, but immediately after bath he tends to read all by himself. He feels no cold when enthralled by a good story. Both of the books in the photo were mine as a little girl, I think Eli will be lucky if his hard-used library makes it through the new baby.
If Jefferson had had access to a cell phone he might have said he couldn't live without that either. His voluminous letters would seem to suggest he was the chatty sort. Eli is very fond of his new Elmo phone (thank you Max and Judy!). He goes through the house pushing the buttons saying "2 - 3" and " 'lo? Yes." Ah, Elmo overalls, Elmo phone, books on the shelf, what more can you ask of life?
