Counting and Courting

Well, Jonah can count to ten in four (English, Vietnamese, German, and Spanish), maybe five (we're still working on French) languages. Also, in a nod to Mommy's profession (in accounting, there is a phrase for a particular type of inventory tracking called "first in first out"), Jonah, quite out of nowhere, said to me, "Poop in poop out."

And then yesterday, on our way home from the grocery store where he'd been a very good boy, I asked Jonah whose good boy he is, thinking that he would respond with the usual "Mom-mom", but nope. He responded with "Kate." Kate is the two-year-old daughter of a couple in our neighborhood and whose mother I have become friends with over the last several months. So I called up my friend and told her that Kate may have a possible suitor on her hands, which she thought was hilarious. He's quite the charmer, my little Jonah!
