Midsentence, I remembered I had an orange cut from earlier.  Our conversation went like this:

S - do you want some apple?
M- apple!
S - oh wait... do you want some orange?
M - no blue

#2: Walk Away
For some reason, Maia learned the phrase "walk away" at daycare.  So she periodically says it when she isn't happy about something.  For instance, l might be  putting her shoes on against her will and she'll say "no mama, walk away."

A couple days ago I was changing her diaper, and she knows she's supposed to keep her hands out during that process.  Yet she's still tempted, so this time, as her hand slowly wandered toward her diaper, she calmly told it "walk away hand."

#3: Kiss It
We've never shied away from giving Maia spicy foods, and she has generally liked almost everything she's been given.  Occasionally, she has even cast away some tears and continued to plow through whatever spicy food she had on her plate.  Tonight though, the spicy pain overcame her.  She stuck out her tongue to me and said, "kiss it!"
