The Games Elish Plays

-Elish immitates other people, especially with facial expressions and movements:

• Sticks his tongue out (and wants you to stick yours back at him)
• Shakes his head "no" when you say "no"
• Blinks his eyes and holds them closed & wants you to copy him
  

-Holds onto the dog's collar when he wants to go for a ride

-Elish bites on some things he shouldn't - and he knows it!

• Noses
• Toes (if you're not wearing socks or shoes, you're in for a surprise! - he can spot exposed toes from across the room and he'll go in for the "kill" - watch out if you're napping!

-Elish is a head-banger (sign of a genius!)

-Steals the dog's bowls and drags them across the entire house (he seems to like the noise, since his second choice is pot covers.)

- When he sits in the highchair for a meal, he teases the dog - he'll hold out his hand with food, and when the dog comes to sniff and eat, Elish will pull back his hand. He'll do this a few times before he lets Leba get some food.
