He's learned the word that saves my aching ears

Elijah has had a super annoying, ear-splitting moan/scream when he wants something. It's a cross between a guttural whine and fingernails scratching on a chalkboard. He will continue with this offensive sound until he gets what he wants. I've been working on getting him to say a civilized "please" for quite a while.  Well, he has finally gotten it! He has started to say, "beeese" whenever he wants something. Halleluiah!!

 

Using his new word to get a cracker.
