"oh sh*t"

Scenario: Me, making dinner, a new recipe I have never made before, multi-tasking. I am draining my pasta and realize that I was suppose to reserve some of the pasta water. Rowan is sitting on her booster in her chair in the kitchen with me.

Me: (flustered) Oh shit!

My daughter: (big smile) Oh shit!!!!!

She said it loud, clear and was so proud of herself for getting that one right. I couldn't help but smile-that is my kid alright :)

...another attempt

...at giving her milk. (It has been months, so I thought I would try.)

Scene: Kitchen table, lunchtime, grilled cheese and chips on her plate. I place the opaque sippy cup next to her.

My daughter: (sips the glass)

Me: (look at her and smile)

My daughter: What's that? (points to cup)

Me: (slight pause) Milk

My daughter: (picks up cup) NO! (throws cup at me)
