sharing is caring

This video is a few weeks old, but it's so cute I just had to post it. Elijah will often share his milk with his stuffed animals, whether you ask him to or not. I am speaking Russian in this one, and here's the transcript for those of you who need it:

"Elijah, give the pig some milk! Give the pig some milk! {Sipping sounds.} Thank you! Thank you! Elijah, give the pig some milk! The pig is thirsty. {Sipping sounds.} Mmmm, so tasty! {More sipping sounds}. Mmmm, so tasty!"



Whenever Elijah is sharing his milk, he always puts the spout to the animal's mouth. His aim is so precise I am often amazed. When we asked Elijah to share his milk with the Cookie Monster, he put the spout to the Cookie Monster's... eyes! Knowing that is was not becuase of bad aim, it made us wonder if there was, perhaps, something unnatural about the Cookie Monster's facial features that left a little child confused. I wanted to capture it on video as well, but Elijah figured out what was going on soon enough. Just a couple hours later his Cookie Monster got to enjoy the milk like all the other animals, instead of having it poured into his eyes. :)
