Watch what you say!!!

Around my son that is...Heyward may not remember to cover his mouth when he coughs, say please and thank you but rest assured if we say something "bad", mean or act mad, he is the first to point it out as well as remember to bring it up later. The other night D and I were having an adult conversation about something that was obviously getting on our nerves. I called something "stupid" and Heyward went from totally not listening to tapping me on the leg, "Momma, Momma...we don't say stupid!" What could I do? I guess our days of discussing whatever we like in front of Hey is over. He may not "act" like it but he hears all and sees all.

Speaking of this he has gotten to where he gets really sappy and whiny when he is tired. He goes through the list of our relatives as to who he wants to have him at the time..."I want my Gaga, Daddy, Momma, Becee, Meme...." You get the point. So the other night he was going through the list while in a whiny voice he says, "I want my daddy, oh my goodness" then he completely stops his crying and moaning, looks at me and asks, "Momma, do we say 'oh my goodness?'" I approved that it was okay to say that and he went right on with his melt down.

It isn't going to be easy with my hormones raging crazily the past week or so, but I have got to control mycomments and conversations more carefully around him.

I am still trying to figure out who he heard say they had "to go drain their piggy tail." Now, everytime we have to go potty, we have a discussion about his piggy tail. I never thought in a million years that my son would have a piggy tail! Hopefully, he will outgrow this soon!

Hey Amber glad you found us..we will be happy to set up an appointment for you and Amelia to get together to help with this whole induction thing. I feel your pain. Those last few weeks are brutal. Good luck! Your family is adorable. Love your blog!! We too are having to watch what we say now. It's tough! She tries her "bad" language out on the poor dog to see if we hear it and what we'll say. It's so hard not to laugh!
