Eli and The Planets...

I'm sure it's not easy being the younger brother of Oakley, the I.Q. through the roof boy. Scott and I have to keep reminding ourselves that Eli is pretty average in the academic field, but it's not like he's totally far behind or anything. His talents seem to lie in the athletic area. One of Eli's favorite activities lately, though, has been getting his CD player and ear phones and listening to The Planets symphony. Of course he like to have his blanket in hand and his thumb in his mouth, but he does seem to really be concentrating and enjoying the music. I don't know of any other four-year-olds who search out symphonies to listen to. Maybe he has another emerging gift beside knocking the baseball out of site.
