Unfortunately she can't pronounce the "r" very well. So if we're out in public and eating, and she wants a fork/spoon/whatever, she starts saying "Fork! Fork! Fork!" but it sounds like she's chanting the F-bomb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781474098383349170.post-61415516400494153312012-12-02T01:42:32.514-05:002012-12-02T01:42:32.514-05:00My deciding factor about the modesty is "Do I...My deciding factor about the modesty is "Do I feel "sexy" in this? (Will it make men's heads turn) Vs "Do I look nice in this?" I just realized the other day that I'm very uncomfortable about wearing skirts that are not below my knees. I thought I was dressed in a Nice way until I sat down and I felt my legs stick to the chair ALOT farther up then I thought they should. I was almost shocked. <br /><br />Little ones have amazing hearing. You can say something under your breath from across the house while they are napping and two days later they are "practicing" your words. It's AMAZING what little ones will hear when your not wanting them to. From a speech pathology point of view the fact that he uses the word hate correctly is a good thing and it also gives him power, from a parental point of view I know you want to take their words away. Hate is about as bad as when they learn NO! It's not fun for parents when a toddler learns they have power over their world . They become power junkies!The.Baroness.Von.Korfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785486185254181483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781474098383349170.post-20297914660864033832012-12-01T18:39:16.999-05:002012-12-01T18:39:16.999-05:00Thanks - I think Stella is a cutie there myself :-...Thanks - I think Stella is a cutie there myself :-)<br /><br />That's a good reminding about saying things in front of kids that might not be bad words, but still be uncharitable, etc. I need to start paying attention to see how much I'm doing this as well.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662784804825998751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781474098383349170.post-59778138114856938002012-12-01T17:47:52.199-05:002012-12-01T17:47:52.199-05:00Oh I've been there with saying things in front...Oh I've been there with saying things in front of young ears that wind up getting repeated. Of course, it took me about ten years and some very good counsel in confession to realize that I have to be careful about what I say around my children (not just my language but also my comments about others). And I feel your pain on realizing after it's too late to change that you're not in the most modest outfit. I've had a few occasions in the past couple of years where I notice that something I'm wearing and thought was perfectly modest and flattering were only that way until I leaned forward or moved a certain way. I'm so particular about making sure I'm not showing off anything I don't intend that when something slips by I get very upset and self-conscious.<br /><br />Stella is super cute in that picture!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353696433987975754noreply@blogger.com
