More Eli-ism (JOKES!)
Okay, so I know we're halfway through March and I'm posting a picture of Eli from Christmas. But it fully embodies Eli.

So, anyway, Eli has decided to become the class clown. On one level, I know it's a way of dealing with his academic issues. He is really struggling with school. Math is hard. Reading is hard. Writing is hard. But, dagnabit, he's pulling a 96 in Music! And Art! And P.E.! That's good, right? I wish school could be easier for him, but he has some real learning challenges. Which breaks my heart because he is SO smart! He knows everything about world events. He has the vocabulary of a high schooler. Oh, wait. Not THAT kind of vocabulary.
