"That's superb!"

So, this afternoon for lunch we were having soup- nothing special, and Cooper asked for some juice. I didn't have any if the refrigerator, so I mixed up some Tang for him. Cooper took one drink, looked at me, and said:
"Mmmm, that's su-perv (superb) mommy, thank you!"

I just had to chuckle, for several reasons:

Number 1: What a sweet little guy my Cooper can be. At 3 1/2 years old, he can be a sweet angel one minute, and a terrorizing, tantrum-throwing, screaming, crazy boy the next.

Number 2: Randall is always using big words and scientific explanations when he talks to Cooper. It makes me laugh, because I tend to dumb things down a bit too much at times. Cooper is quick to pick up on new things, words included. But this time, no one had said the word "superb" for quite sometime. Cooper just said it, and actually used the word correctly! It must be those "smart genes" kicking in...
