Answer me!

Tonight at the dinner table, I was cutting strawberries and Eli was eating them as fast as I could cut them. At one point, he slowed down and asked Daddy if he wanted a strawberry. Michael was a bit overtired and didn't respond.

Eli: "Want a strawberry, Daddy?"

Michael, silent.

Eli: "Want a strawberry, Daddy?"

Michael, silent.

Eli: "ANSWER ME, Daddy!"

Eating local food



Eli is obsessed with the food growing in our yard (oh, that makes me so happy!) He loves to go in search of ripe (mainly semi-ripe) tomatoes. Every night he points to the hanging baskets and wants to find a strawberry. There is almost always at least one strawberry, which makes him squeal with excitement :) And yes, our garden does look like a jungle -- not just to a 19-month-old. Perhaps that's why Eli felt the need to get in his firefighting gear the other day -- he just needs an axe so he can take out the mass of vines and weeds among the tomatoes....
