Absorb.

It freaks me out how much Eli absorbs from us. It's remarkable, really. He figures things out so quickly. We were on the porch last week when he found my watering can and this is what he did right away:
 

He knew what it was for! I'm not sure how... I really don't water my flowers that often (thus why I plant the type of flowers that can go days without water in this blasted southern heat). I suppose now if I forget to water, I have Eli to remind me.
