Zoe, as mentioned before, recently started taking kung-fu – and we’ve taken Avery to each of her classes. After hearing plenty of hi-yahs at class, Avery took a fondness to the word and now says it all the time. It’s cute, yes, but less so when she blurts it out at inopportune times – like at the hotel, at 4:30 the other morning. (She couldn’t sleep, and when we put her in bed with us she kept crawling up to me and Q, saying it loudly.)

Here’s a parenting tip: Don’t expose your almost-one-year-old to martial arts if you don’t want hi-yah to be one of her first words!
