I think there's something super basic I'm messing up here...

So I have the p elements referenced in the paragraphs variable, and I created the loop, but I think my syntax might be off or something, because it keeps saying that this isn't passing. Any help / clarification would be appreciated!

app.js 
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs = section.children;

for (i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i += 1) {
  paragraphs[i].style.color = 'blue';
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Child Traversal</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <section>
            <p>This is the first paragraph</p>
            <p>This is a slightly longer, second paragraph</p>
            <p>Shorter, last paragraph</p>
        </section>
        <footer>
            <p>&copy; 2016</p> 
        </footer>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>
