My little Sofie keeps me laughing that is for sure. She is such a comedian and Ken and I are constantly amazed at her grasp of the English language for being only 3 years old. At dinner the other night we were all sitting around the table and Sofie didn't really want to eat (mom had let her have too much junk too close to dinner. Oops) so we were trying to cut a deal with her about how much she had to eat before she could run around. As we are all quietly sitting there contemplating our food Sofie says "I was really pissed off that I have to eat this." No granted the tenses that she used were a little mixed up but the idea was correct. So can and I both shoot our heads up at the same time and look at her. I asked her if she actually said that (while at the same time trying not to crack up) and she said that she did say that. Well....OK. Thus ensued a conversation about what words she should actually use and yes thank you for sharing your feelings with us but you still have to eat what we told you to eat.
A couple of weeks ago I had went to the movie and Sofie and Ken were at home sitting on the couch watching iCarly before bed. There was a scene where one of the character's mom drove her car through a wall. Sofie was eating popcorn and leaning on her Daddy's arm as she matter of factly said "iCarly's mom is a dumb ass for driving her car through that wall." Ken said he was so shocked he wasn't sure what she said at first. So he asked Sofie and yep she did say that.
So I guess there is a lesson her for us. Kids hear and take in WAY more than we think or realize. And I need to watch my mouth.

This blog is a way for me to share the ups and downs of being a parent and to give me a place to vent about the frustrations of raising a child. It is also a place to chronicle all the fun times and little miracles of parenthood.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Savings & Steward! I'm so happy to be able to drop by your place. Cute blog design!!
ReplyDeleteMust say that my husband and I are amazed, as well, with how much our children take away from us - without even realizing it. We are always very careful about what we do and say for this reason. We haven't had any shocking experiences with our daughter yet, but she did slap me on the back the other day and say "Mama - you kill me!" after I pretended to be afraid of her toy lion. I almost cried, I laughed so hard!!! Kids!
