Balloons, blue and orange.

Eli loves balloons. Here are some photos of him playing with his favourite balloons, always the blue and orange ones, in our front room. In between hanging onto them tightly and giving me all manner of cheeking grins, he'd run around and whack them or kick them up into the air. Lots of fun. Needless to say we often have balloons in our house now - in fact, I think it's almost been a constant stream of balloons since his 2nd birthday in April!



For a while there it was a bit of a toss up as to whether Eli's favourite colour was blue or orange. He's always liked them both, but recently blue has won the battle and he's become a bit blue-obsessed. For example, when I dropped him at daycare the other day there was a big pile of building blocks on a mat and he systematically collected all of the blue ones that he could carry (around 10 of them) and started his own new blue-only pile of blocks. He also vigorously defended his blue blocks and I think he made it pretty clear to all of the other kids at daycare that they should never get between him and his blue blocks. I also think that it's a very good thing that some of the other kids aren't too fussed with blue.
