This is our new favorite game, Hulabaloo. It's FABULOUS! The fact that I, a non-game loving kind of girl, thinks it's fun ... I'm sure makes J. How VERY happy.
He talks of playing it ALL day long! "Mom. Joshua and Cake and Pap Pap and Bella and GiGi and How How and Dad and E-Why and Mommy ... we can all PLAY that game TOGETHER! That would be so fun!"
It does require a bit of coordination and agility ... so if you're on the above list to participate ... start doing your stretches!
Even non-walkers like to participate because tossing the pieces around is just as much fun as following directions ...
Oh wait a minute ... what's this? Is Eli tired of perching on his toosh? He's ready to give those leg muscles a go??
A little downward dog to steady himself ... (notice how his big toe seems to be getting a SERIOUS workout!)
And he's up! ONE ...
TWO...
THREE ...
Four ... and
CRASH!
And after that attempt ... it was back to crawling the rest of the day. Perhaps if he could just gain a bit more strength in that big toe of his ... he'd have walking in the bag!
YOU GO ELI!!!!!! WE KNEW YOU HAD IT IN YOU!!!!
ReplyDeleteGosh do you like your big brother or what when you are upright!!!!
Counting the days until we see you again!!
Love Cake and PapPap
We have Hulabaloo--your ringing endorsement may be what it takes for me to give it a try (we've had it for 3 years). Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Eli! So close buddy!
ReplyDeleteSold! It's been raining for 2 days and we need some new entertainment around here. Congrats on the walker. I can totally empathize with the screamer concept and the picking up. Lesser of two evils dear mommy :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Eli!!!!!
