Here's a favorite example: This evening, Jonah finished his dinner and started playing with his food. He knows he isn't supposed to do this. He was clapping his hands, full of food, and some of dinner flew off over the side of the tray. He looked down at his mess and says, "Uh-Oh." Yes, my dear, Daddy was none too happy!

Uh-Oh!
Jonah has really mastered the use of the phrase "Uh-Oh!" I hear it all the time, when he drops something or falls. Jonah likes it so much, he will keep repeating it over and over after such incident. This is absolutely adorable, but it makes me far more conscious of how often I use the phrase myself. Especially with Jonah around, I say "Uh-Oh" or "Oh No" far more often than I'd like to admit! I have to wonder if Jonah has internalized it to the point that it is also a reflex for him, rather than a thought-out response to the situation.
