We've had some interesting moments with idioms lately.
- Jia was eating her dinner really well and I said, "Wow, good use of your fork! Keep it up!" I then looked over and she was holding her fork up in the air over her head and giving me a look of utter confusion.
- Joe left for work and said, "I'm off to bring home the bacon!" Jia, in a contrary mood, yelled, "No bacon, Baba! I don't want any bacon! NOOOOOOO BACON!"
Remember how Jia is a climber? I was in the bathroom and I heard her rustling around in another room and I asked, "Jia, what are you doing?" She replied, "Climbing! I'm WAY up high." I panicked thinking that she was hanging from the chandelier (again!) but no, when I ran out I saw that she was standing on a book, about an inch off the ground. Apparently everything is relative.
Jia joined our family 1 1/2 years ago today!

Too funny! Genevieve just did this too when a friend was tickling her I said tickle her back.. to which Genevieve started motioning and saying back, back - she thought she needed to tickle Kirsten in the back! You're right, I need to watch the context of how I use certain words now.
So cute : ) It is true we all have to be careful about what we say...
Thanks for your email...we are considering our options ...
Hi, we came across your blog while looking for information about adoption from Taiwan.
Do you mind sharing with us the agency you used for your adoption.
My email address is: ifish99yr@yahoo.com
Super cute. They're so literal at this age, aren't they? We had a similar experience when I said that daddy was going to "pop his head" in the room in a few minutes...
Hi! I just found your blog from Beehive. When my daughter was about 2 I was trying to get her to eat green beans (still working on that) so I told her she had to put one in her tummy. She looked at me with a puzzled look and lifted her shirt and put a green bean on her tummy. We thought it was hysterical. Thanks for reminding me of that moment.
Oh your daughter is beautiful!!!
