...and a tantrum for Eli.
I had the bright idea to take Eli to one of those paint-your-own-pottery places. I thought it would be so fun to make a cute plate for cookies for Santa and maybe and ornament or two. What started out as a fun little mama-son play date, quickly turned into a total melt down. It ended with me prying him off of the concrete sidewalk in front of the store 45 minutes later and calling my husband to come help for reinforcements. By the end of it all, I was pretty sure I might throw a tantrum also.
This was a reminder that Eli is simply not into crafts. He much prefers running in the outdoors, kicking balls, punching balloons, and anything else that doesn't involve sitting still.

But, when all was said and done. I will say that our plate turned out cuter than I imagined. I hope one day Eli loves it. Ben said not to get too attached to it, because there is a good chance that some day, with an active little guy like Eli, that fantastic plate just might accidentally break. Well, at least I have a picture to prove that it is simply adorable. Thanks, Eli, for giving me a day to remember.
