It's official...

Last night after we ate dinner (of which Elijah ate only the peas),
I was washing the dishes while Elijah tried to take (and eat) all the various sweet foods off our shelves.
Here is the conversation my husband had with our 1 1/2 year old...

A: "No."
E: "Why?"
A: "Because I said so."
E: "Why?"
A: "Because I'm your father, I said so and that's all the reason 'why' you need."

Yup.
We're officially parents.
