Eliza ripped a map off the wall and said “Ta da!” [Sage's tumbling teacher taught her to say this after she did a forward roll. Eliza obviously picked up on the phrase, if not the meaning.]
Eliza held up an apple to examine it and said “Sick!” then happily ate it. [I don't care what exclamation she uses, as long as she keeps eating the fruits and veggies.]
When I was reading a book too slowly for Eliza, she interrupted with a loud "Amen,” forced the book closed, slid off my lap, and walked off. [She tries to cut off family prayers that go "too long" this way, too. The length she's willing to wait patiently during a prayer is inversely proportional to the deliciousness of the food sitting in front of her or the exciting-ness of the toy she had to set aside for prayer.]
Sage looked up from the toy she was playing with, while I was trying on clothes in the dressing room at Target, and said, "Mommy, you’re so righteous!” [What if everyone thought trying on clothes were a sign of righteousness?!?]

LOL!! I love it!
My favorite is Eliza ripping down the map and saying "Ta da!" like you're going to cheer for destruction! She is so funny.
I'm glad you're keeping a running list of all those cute things they say! --Mom
I'm inclined to agree with Sage. I think you're pretty righteous too. Boy, if trying on clothes was a sign of righteousness, then I have a HUGE problem.
P.S. Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog. I was so surprised (and very pleased) to hear from you!
Priceless. That's got to be one of the best phases of childhood - the language experimentation. And I think you gave me an idea for my dissertation - a negative correlation between patience and deliciousness of food. Brilliant!
So here I am laughing again...I love Eliza's TaDa-ing, maybe I should try that with Derek the next time I bring home something I shouldn't have purchased! And then Sage's dressing room comment!?? You're a brave woman, taking your kids into the dressing room...anytime you want an honest opinion they're the ones to ask. I would love if my worldly aspirations (such as clothes shopping)were considered righteous! For the record-that trip to the store for my clothes happens only about 3 times a year-again due to aforementioned "kids in dressing room"!
You have cute kids! I love the amen story. That is hilarious--I'm still laughing!
