Toddlers and The Little Sponges They Are

                                                                                         

I think all children are beautiful. Not just on the outside, but what they say & how they say it, how they interpret things. It is just amazing to me.

The saying, they are like little sponges, I find this so true. Having to be careful what they soak up is the hard part.

Like swearing for instance, oh man. My husband & I try to be so careful. Once & a great while though the inevitable happens & a colorful word comes out of our mouth. We hear some parents swear like there is no tomorrow & don't even blink an eye when their children are around. I bet they would change their tune if their toddler started repeating everything they said over & over.

Like what happened to us, we were watching a movie that had a bit of swearing in it.

Of course thinking Logan was still to young to really understand or repeat this. Yeah right, did we have a rude awaking. How in the world do they know how to use it? I mean like to know to use it when they are angry, etc. So for a week we had to work on telling him thats a naughty word, little boys don't say that word & make sure he didn't hear it again. It was really fun especially in public, we would have to be creative & say, yes honey we did see a duck, things like that. We just did not want people to question what in the world we teach our son.

So parents my only advice here, is to be very careful with what your toddler/child hears & never underestimate their age or how much they really are paying attention
