One of the best (and worst) things about 2 year-olds is their ability to take everything at face value. My recent favorite? "Gimme some cheese."
Whenever Savannah does something praiseworthy (listens well, pees in the potty, doesn't poke Claire's eyes out, etc.), I often praise her by saying, "yay! Gimme five!" And I extend my palm to receive an enthusiastic "five" from Sav. Well, recently I started substituting "gimme five" with "gimme some cheese!" Without hesitation, Savannah will proceed to run up to me, squat down to prepare/pick up an imaginary slice of cheese, and eagerly place it in my outstretched palm.
Now, "gimme some cheese" doesn't even really make sense (I'm not sure it's even a real phrase), so I don't blame her for her response. But it's just too awesome to stop doing.
