These are from the past few months, so there are a lot:
Willa: "Knock knock?"
Joe: "Who's there?"
Willa: "Wipe!"
Joe: "Wipe who?"
Willa: "Grape!" [laughs]
Jia: "I don't understand her!"
I couldn't figure out why Willa was intently watching me in the bathroom, then she started clapping and said: "Yay Mommy! Pee potty!" (Willa has been using the potty a lot these days! We're proud of her! And apparently she's proud of me too!)
Willa to me, after pinching me, deliberately: "Sorry Mommy, pinch you much." [Then she leans in like she's going for a hug. But instead...]
Willa: "Push!" [Pushes me. Laughs.]
Jia: "I'm going to go to a place with no little sisters. That means Willa cannot come!" [Looks up at me, and feels sheepish.] "Uh, I'm actually just pretending. Willa can come to this place. She just needs to move VERY SLOWLY there so she can't get ME or MY STUFF!"
Me: Jia, where did you put your dollar coin?
Jia: I don't know.
Me: Did you lose it?
Jia: No, Mama, I didn't lose it. I just don't know where it is!
We were eating ice cream and I said, "Pretty good ice cream."
Jia: "Yeah! Better than a bowl full of dirt and soap!"
Willa saw some pictures of China and Taiwan and said, "Taiwan! China!" Then she said, "Chinese! Ni hao!" (We're amazed she understood that connection!)
Willa: "Time-out Mama!"
Me: "Time-out for whom?"
Willa: "Me!"
Me: "Why?"
Willa: "Push!" [Pushes me.]
Jia to Willa after Willa put a coin in her mouth: "Willa, if you eat that you could get really sick. You could hurt your tummy. You could go to the hospital. AND YES, you could get a shot!"
Willa, looking at a picture of a sad character in a book: "Feels sad. Mama. Uppies. Lovey. Blanket. Crib. Light on. Books." I love how she articulated everything that makes her feel good!
Here's an example of how they're interacting lately. [We were in the car.]
Willa: "Look! Big truck, Jia!"
Jia: "Actually, it's a medium-sized truck."
Willa: "No! Big!"
Jia: "No! Medium!" [And the "No!" continues...]
Me: Do you have to argue about everything?
[Both girls nod yes very seriously.]
Jia and Willa were playing together in Willa's room and I realized they had been quiet for a bit. I said, "Are you guys okay?" Jia replied, "Yes! We're having a LOTION FESTIVAL!"

I always love when you do a post like this!
I don't know which is better, to save them up like you do, or run them on the side of my blog like I do. I love posts where you tell us these things, I feel like I can watch them grow. But, I am always too eager to share to wait to save my girls' interactions for a post like this. Anyway, thanks. And, I have a LOT to say about your last email, and hope to write a real note soon. We're in similar situations...
If there is anything better than Jia-isms, it's Willa-isms AND Jia-isms together in the same post! That is so sweet about Willa listing all the things that make her feel good :-) And the Lotion Festival made me laugh and then became kind of horrified as I thought about what it might entail...Oh, dear.
Too funny! Loved Willa getting ready for a timeout with her push!
Hilarious!! Where are the pictures of the Lotion Festival? And I love that Willa wants to put herself in time out before she does something she isn't supposed to. Oh, you have two comedians on your hands!! You are going to love that you took the time to document all of these one day. I wish I did more of that.
I'm dying over here...I wish Tom was still awake because these are too funny not to share!
...better than a bowl of dirt and soap! love it
