I have two little boys. My oldest, J.C., is going to be five years old in June and my youngest, Nicolas, is two and a half. Wonderful ages for both of them....(I hope you can sense the sarcasm in that comment). I'm starting to realize what little sponges my two sons are. They soak up so much information; it's quite amazing, actually. There are definitely pros and cons to that, though. It's great that they are learning so much and can remember every little detail of certain things, but when they start repeating or remembering things that might not be appropriate to repeat, here in lies the problem.
Prime example: We have a small white dog (Lhasa Apso) named Max. Both my sons adore this dog, sometimes too much. They are relentless with him...poor dog. One day, me and J.C. were sitting on the couch watching television. J.C. got off the couch to pet Max (for the hundreth time that day). Now you have to understand that Max absolutely LOVES to be rubbed, so whenever anyone starts to pet him, he rolls over on his back to make sure you give some love to his tummy. J.C. starts to pet Max and Max, in turn, rolls over on his back to let J.C. go to town. Right then, J.C. starts to laugh so I ask him why he's laughing and he promptly points to Max's tummy and says, "Look at Max's nuts". I couldn't believe he said that word! I'm going to blame my husband for that one, because I definitely don't use that word to describe anything...By the way, the ironic thing is that Max doesn't have any "nuts" but J.C. doesn't realize that. So, trying not to laugh at what he just said, I did the mom thing and said that it wasn't polite to use that word. He proceeded to ask me how he should have said it, and i just told him that if he must describe something like that, he should just say the word "privates".
I really can't keep a straight face sometimes with the things that come out of that boy's mouth!! I love kids...
Till next time...
Love it! :)
