Elijah and Dinner Time

Tonight at dinner we had raviolis, bread, strawberries and watermelon. (I know, strange combination-trying to clean out the fridge.) So Elijah actually ate and ate and ate which is unusual since he normally gives us a screaming fit about eating his meals. We were enjoying this new, quiet dinner ritual! Well, at one point, he asks for more strawberries and Scott notices he's not eaten any watermelon so he told Elijah if he ate more, he'd give him more strawberries. So Elijah ate one piece and started saying, "BEAR BEAR BEAR" (for berries) and so Scott gave him a few more bites of strawberries. The next time he did it, Scott said no because he said you have to eat some more watermelon...to that his reply was "NOOOOO BEANS MY WADDERMELLY, BEANS MY WADDERMELLY!!! NOOOO!". We were getting pretty frustrated at his screaming and we were trying to figure out what he was saying then I started cracking up laughing and Scott looked at me as if to say, 'what's so funny?'. I then told Daddy, "He is trying to tell us there are 'beans' in his watermelon, honey. (Scott looked puzzled) I said, "He means there are SEEDS in his watermelon!". Scott started laughing.....AH, that's our Elijah!!
