Roasted shrimp and pasta with roasted tomato sauce.
My in-laws joined us for a little impromptu party. It was very pleasant, ending with a little vignette that perfectly illustrates Eli's place in the family:
After dinner, the boys and their grandfather sat around the table eating ice cream and Girl Scout cookies. Grandpa sat down next to Eli, who had a cookie in one hand and a bowl of ice cream with sprinkles in front of him. Eli looked over at Grandpa, who had a different kind of cookie, and said very sweetly, "I would like that kind!" Then he took it--Yoink! And everyone laughed merrily, to a person: his single-cookied brothers, his dispossessed grandpa, everyone. Look at the cute cute toddler! He stole from his grandfather! He is double-fisting cookies!
That kid has us completely wrapped around his finger. He could get away with a lot more, and I think it's only a matter of time until he figures it out.
