Eli and Michael are the best of fishing buddies. They watch videos about fishing, play imaginary games about fishing, and actually fish in our local rivers, ponds, and bays as much as possible. Eli can identify many different species of fish and describe the best methods of catching one. Of course, his father is very proud whenever Eli pulls in a nice fish. They both share a love of touching slimy, creepy-crawly creatures and exploring the outdoors. While Laura enjoys a lot of those activities (minus the creepy-crawly part), she especially loves to work on puzzles with Eli teaching him how to sort and organize pieces. Her methodical nature also translates well into her interest of baking. Luckily Eli has a love of eating mom’s baked goods so they make a fantastic pair in the kitchen. Laura has so much patience with Eli helping him add the correct ingredients; allowing him to help cut out different shapes; and later decorate sugar cookies for holidays.
