"It's too SCARY!"

This is Eli's latest catch phrase. Yes, our sweet boy is easy going, but apparently also easily scared. Here are a few things that bring on this phrase:

1. Daddy's black trenchcoat. While I think my husband looks absolutely dashing in this coat (not joking - really, he looks hot!!), Eli hates it. The first thing Kedron hears every day when he walks in the front door is Eli saying, "I don't like that coat."

2. Micah's play dough octopus toy (sorry the image is so big - I can't shrink it). Eli hates the big, ominous eyes. And don't even THINK about having him watch when the play dough squeezes out the front.

3. Ventriloquist dummies. Enough said.

4. Mr. Noodle from Sesame Street. I guess he is a little creepy.

Poor little Eli. Hopefully this phase will pass soon.
