Thanks for the wishes about my dad. He was just released from the hospital and is on the road to recovery. They are still uncertain about the source of the infection, it's somewhere internal so that will be a hurdle, but at least he's home now!
I had to laugh because I made vats and vats of beet soup for him (he loves beets) and my mom made him a favorite dish as well. Both our recipes called for a little alcohol (e.g. sherry) and even though it's cooked out, he still can't have the meals because alcohol causes major side effects when combined with his new medication. Guess the food will have to be frozen for now!
Here are some more Jia-isms (because they just keep coming!):
"Mama, my love is growing for you. It's growing right now! Let me show you [gives me hug]."
Jia, at three, is already having an mini-life crisis: "Baba and Mama, so here's how it will go. Willa will become a mama before me. Then I'll become a mama. Then, well, then I don't know what I'll do!"
"Mama, when are you and Baba going to die? I need to have parents for a really long time."
I was carrying Willa and about six bags and rushing Jia to the car saying, "C'mon, it's 20 below windchill!" when Jia replied, "Mama, little kids are just kinda slow!"
Me: Jia, where do raisins come from?
Jia: Boxes!
"I'm really goin' to town on this mac 'n cheese!"
Jia: Mama, tonight we're going to play a game called, "Mad."
Me: Umm, okay. How do you play?
Jia: It's when you tell me what to do.
Me: And what do you do?
Jia: I jump and throw things.
"If my body tells me to eat ten cupcakes, I won't listen."

OH, she is a hoot!!! Love all of them..Annslee will tell us we are going to play "you'll see" when we ask what it is she says "ummm, you'll see!!" They are so funny
Glad your dad is getting to come home : )
Hi Jane,
I'm glad to hear your dad is doing better. You can ship all that beet soup to Leila. Beets are her favorite food, can you believe it?
Those Jia-isms just crack me up. "My love is growing for you right now," is just precious. Oh, what a proud Mama moment that must have been.
Glad to hear about your dad. And those Jiaisms - good for you for getting them down. She is a hoot!
Mmm.... I'm really "going to town reading" these Jia-isms! What a hoot. I've told you this several times... but I sincerely love reading Jia-isms, and they often my favorite posts that I read here... and of course when Willa broke the kitchen cabinets... that's a winner!
Thinking... it would be a really neat thing to put Jia-isms into a journal and give them to her when she's older.
:-) I love the mid-child crisis one!
Sooooo glad that your dad is getting better!
If my body told me to eat 10 cupcakes, I totally would. I admire her reserve.
I am so glad your dad is home, but sorry he can't eat his beet soup yet:( Hope he continues to get better.
LOVE those Jia-isms!!! I cannot get enough of them. Her mid-preschool-life crisis is just too much!
Jane,
Your daughter really keeps you hopping, doesn't she??? Where does she come up with all of those zingers? But, how very precious!!
Glad Dad is on the mend too-how scary that must have been.
Blessings
