... for some reason, I think that when I am looking up this word, there should be a picture of Jonah in the definition. For those of you that know him well, you will agree with me that he is a brilliant child. He amazes me every day.
I was trying to put socks on Naomi the other day and the minute I would get them on, she would instantly kick them off. This was a bit frustrating as we were trying to get out the door. In doing this, I had made the comment, "Wow, Jonah your sister isn't cooperating." With that, he asked, "What does 'cooperate' mean?" I replied, "She's not making it easy to put her socks on." And his response was, "You mean she's being difficult?" I laughed and agreed. And then realized, did my 4 year old just use the word 'difficult'???
