Oh, I Love It!

Over the past few weeks Julia has been exclaiming her excitement with the phrase, "Oh, I love it!" It's actually pretty cute when you know the context. Usually, it's about something that she has just learned about, no matter how dull or insignficant. The conversation usually goes like this:

Julia: "Dadda (or Momma), what's that?"
Dadda (or Momma): "That's a mouthguard"
Julia: "What's it for?"
Dadda (or Momma): "It makes my teeth feel better at night"
Julia: "Oh, I LOVE it!!!"

This phrase works for all things - from oily rags to ice cream as long as it's something new that she has just learned about. It's pretty cute to see this is her reaction to discovering new things, even if she really doesn't know what they are yet.
