Watch what you say....

One beautiful spring morning Kade, Kyle, and I decided to go for a little walk. In our neighborhood there is a street that everybody thinks the speed limit is "drive as fast as you can". This lovely spring morning I was really annoyed by all the cars driving super fast, especially since children were present. I shouted out to one car "slow down you idiot". Not thinking of what I was saying with a 2 1/2 year old standing there. A couple weeks later Kade and I were in our front yard doing some yard work. A car came speeding by. I didn't think anything of it until I heard Kade say "slow down idiot". I just had to laugh because hearing a 2 year old say that was pretty hilarious. However, it made me think I had better watch what I say because Kade is saying almost everything I say. Even though hearing a 2 year old say some things is really funny I do not want him to learn how to speak rudely, especially from me. Since then Eric and I really try to watch what we say when Kade is present.


Other cute and funny things Kade says....
"What?"-when asking a question

"No way!"-when he doesn't want something. He learned this from a silly T.V. commercial.

He used to count "10, 8, 10". After watching Sesame Street on the computer he now counts "4, 5, 7, 8". At least he is making progress.

Yesterday he was talking into a piece of paper and I asked him who he was talking to. I thought he said "girlfriend", but he actually said "Grandma Fern".

He calls Kyle "baby Kico".

"welcome"-he says this instead of thank you. Someday he will get it right.

"I can't"-he says this when he doesn't want to do something or really can't do whatever it is he trying to do.

He loves to talk on the phone even though the person he is talking to has no idea (except for a few words) what he is saying. He just likes to ramble on.

It is fun watching Kade grow and how his ability to learn is progressing. I love staying at home with my boys. I am grateful to my wonderful husband for working so hard so I am able to do this. Even though some days can get really boring, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
