We've gotta start watching our language. We thought we were, but apparently not.
Last week, the Mister heard Squeaker say (on the playground, in front of other kids):
"Goddammit!"
Oops.
Okay, that's easy to fix.
No more swearing in front of the child. We'll be good.
But then, yesterday, I had to come home early to relieve our nanny because the Mister was stuck in jury duty. Squeaker was quietly playing with his toys in his new play area.
He was whispering quietly to himself, until suddenly ...
"Pain in the butt!"
Oh dear.
Mommy and Daddy have more work to do ...
A nurse at our pediatrician's office told me that her child's FIRST word was "sh!t." It could be worse.
I sent you an email under my real name. Let me know if you didn't get it.

My nephew and wife were watching "Wipeout" with their 3 year old. As he watched one contestant "wipeout" he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh SH*T, he fell off the Big Balls!". That Squeaker is a smart cookie!

Yes, I am continually amazed at Squeaker's vocabulary. I can see how he is way ahead of kids his age. Mine understands everything and she talks, but she's only just begun stringing a few words together in short, choppy phrases. And still, she says things that I can't translate or decipher. Good job, mama! I'm so sorry the embryo donation didn't seem to materialize. I hope you hear back from them soon.
