a confession...

well, I have learned, be careful what you say around 2 year olds...

Today upon returning to pick the kids up at Neika's after a much dreaded dentist appt ( that's another confession- I haven't been in 2.5 years- some procrastination during that time but honestly it was because the last time I went I was preggo with Roo,then came Cole. I have always heard it's not ideal to have dental work done being preggo.) but back to the original confession...

I sat down on the couch in their living room to look at some pics she had taken of the kids while I was gone (which by the way, I have tried endlessly to upload tonight only to be told by Blogger that there is an internal error!!) pooh! They are really GREAT! I so hope this isn't an issue with my computer, but rather the website? I don't know how to fix "it".

So I sit down and am looking through the pics on the camera and Riley crawls up in my lap, facin me. She puts her hands straight out onto me and says, "boo". Neika looks over as she sees her hands placed "there" and says, "what did she just say?" I said, she said " boob- just without the b".

Yes! She knows the word boob! So the confession comes that I must have taught her that! I know I did because I told it to her once, maybe twice casually. Now before you go thinking that she is learning slang terms for body parts, I must say that she likes to point to certain parts- normally the nose, mouth, eyes...and then you say the name. One day she pointed to "that" and I said boob- didn't think much about it until today when she said it on her OWN!

At least I wasn't the only victim of this today- not even a few minutes later as she was getting her diaper changed, she kciked her legs in the air, touched her feet to Neika right "there" and said, "boo!" She obviously has learned this part and recognizes it on us. I can say that I haven't yet seen her do it on a man. hmmm.... so be careful what you say to a 2 year old, you just never know when it will stick in their memory and be verbalized.

crack me up! I so dread that stage! There are so many innocent things you don't want your 2 year old repeating!
BTW my pics aren't uploading either-must be a blog issue--hopefull!

my pics aren't working either. Let's blame it on Tropical Storm Edouard. Too funny about the boob thing. Cade loves saying all the body parts....I will have to watch what I say a bit more closely!
