The Littlest has been saying this one phrase for weeks now and I have had no idea what he's been saying. None. I chalked it up to gibberish. Totally acceptable gibberish from a now two year old. Tonight it was like the stars aligned and it hit me as I heard him say it again.
Here is what I thought he'd been saying:
Did jew no now (Did you know now)?
Here is what he'd been saying:
It's a no-no.
Here is how I discovered it:
Tonight as I'm running the cool water in the sparkling clean bathtub with the sparkling clean water, he reaches for the plunger and puts it in the water and as I yell out my very long very ennunciated, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he then turns to me and says, "It's a no-no!"
Well, yes, it IS a no no! Of COURSE that is what he's been saying! Half the things he does are no no's! This coming from me, a dense mom who struggles on a daily basis to have it all make sense, the stuff that flys by me, the new words and phrases, the beauty of what they say and do, the stinkerisms of what they do and sometimes, something so easy is made too hard. Silly mamma.

You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.
