black beans, a joke, and a compliment

i wore my favorite bracelet today. my son pointed at it and identified what he knew, "black beans." indeed, son, my favorite bracelet sure does look a whole lot like black beans.

the other day, shane and i were talking about old friends, and we actually forgot the first name of the husband of the couple. when we finally figured it out, we both said, "jeff!" and laughed with relief. then our little boy yelled, "jeff!" too and laughed with us! he's been saying it ever since, whenever he feels like telling a joke.

also the other day, i was wearing a dress with flowers on it, and moses pointed at it, and said, "pretty!" i'm fairly certain that he was only saying what he thought flowers were called, since i'm sure everyone points at flowers and says, "pretty!" nevertheless, a complimentary word from my sweet toddler felt like a million dollars.
