Testing the Waters

Padyn has been busting out with some fabulous new vocabulary lately. She's trying out new words that she's heard somewhere, but is unsure of their correct usage. I love how she is tentative and proud of herself at the same time. She'll say something while looking down, then slide her eyes over my way with a shy little smile, checking to see if she's used it correctly and looking for my approval.

At the moment I can only remember two, but I know there was another one yesterday...

While looking at a women's clothing catalog: "Mommy, these girls are style!"

I checked in with her...she meant stylish.

In the bathtub, playing with bathtub paint that made bubbles: "Mommy, these are seductive bubbles."

Ok, now that one I was a bit worried about. Because really, what 4 year old knows the word seductive and who is saying that around her? But when I asked her what she meant, her explanation was even more bizarre...

"That means you have a party and everyone in the neighborhood comes over to your house."

Hmmm...maybe it's the bath paint fumes.
