I love the quirky little things Eli says these days.
"Later" is the answer to everything.
Eli: Can I have a soda Mom? Can I?
Me: Not right now sweetheart.
Eli: Later Mom? Later?
Me: Sure. Maybe later.
Eli: (happily) Ok Mom. Later.
Eli: I go swim now Mom? Can I?
Me: I'm sorry, we can't swim today.
Eli: Later Mom? Later?
Me: Well... not today. But maybe tomorrow we can swim!
Eli: Later? Ok Mom. Later.
When it comes to suckers, though, later isn't specific enough.
Eli: Can I have sucker Mom? Can I?
Me: Sorry buddy, not right now.
Eli: I have sucker on my birday Mom? (birthday)
Me: That's a good idea! You can ask for a sucker for your birthday!
Eli: Birday coming up! Later. (nodding) Later.
You really have to see it in person to appreciate the cuteness of that "Later."
