Last night he threw his Dairy Queen spoon at a bird and yelled "DIIIEEE"
*bites nails*
******
Remember his artistic ability?
Seems he's stopped drawing pictures, but the talk of "kissing private parts" is still around...and last week, he stood in the corner for talking about it outloud. In the dr's office.
Boy how I love disciplining my child in public.
NOT.
*******
Sometimes I feel like I could make this whole blog about crap Bubba does...some good, but mostly the bad.
He's got a potty mouth (along with the other inappropriate talk).
The other night Buggy sat down and asked if she could make a list of rules for our house.
I told her that was a fantastic idea and that all of us should come up with rules together.
One of the rules was no bad words, she added no flipping of the middle finger to that rule.
Bubba reads it, looks at me, gets his naughty dimples and walks away.
I am proud of his reading ability, but I know that his little mind was ticking. Specifically ticking towards how can I tick these girls off. Damn Mothers.

This morning we were all in our very small bathroom brushing our teeth.
Bubba has his first loose tooth, he is in the mirror wiggling it (the tooth this time), wiggling it some more (still the tooth).
"When is it going to come out, Mom?" (Tooth)
"When it's ready bud."
"HOLY SHHHHHHHHHHHH" he looks at me from the mirror. "Can I say it Mom? Can I say the S-H word?" He grins, his little tooth hanging by a thread.
"No." I give him the look of c'mon are ya kidding me?
I gave him a list of other words to use in the place of the S-H word. Maybe in some households, crap and poop aren't appropriate, but in our house...it's the better alternative.
I pick my battles.

Ha. To think someone nominated me for a parenting blog.
FAIL.
So what you're saying is all this difficulty I'm going through with my son potty training is just going to get worse as he gets older? I thought the girls were the difficult ones... I think the boys just like to cause mischief!
ReplyDeleteHe's deceptively sweet looking, isn't he? ROFL
ReplyDeleteDoes he get an allowance? Back in the day, when I had control over my kids languange, if you said a bad word you had to put a $1 in the jar. I can tell you having to give up your hard earned $ was sure a deterrent from having a potty mouth. : )

Wow. Your Budda and my Owen are one in the same. The lewd things he does make me cringe. He's 7 and can't dance with out the pelvic thrusts and crotch grabs. Where do they learn this crap?
ReplyDeletesomething is in the water, I'm having a hard time with boys too
ReplyDeleteHe really does look adorable. And I'm glad he isn't closer to my Baby Girl. She is already talking about kissing boys at school. We would definitely have to keep those two separated.
ReplyDeleteParenting... The impossible task. Give yourself credit, at least he asked before just blurting it out.
ReplyDeleteLike Buggy said to me while we were sitting together and the kids were eating pizza...
ReplyDelete"boys."
And she rolled her eyes.
How's your grey hair count?
ReplyDeleteI am guessing increased daily ;)
I am not ready for this. But I know it's coming. Best luck to you!
ReplyDeletelike you said, pick your battles.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I have a potty mouth and reading this reminded me why my baby factory is on lockdown. I could never imagine raising a child that talks like me.
ReplyDeleteYup, pick your battles or you would be fussing all day!! I am going through some of this with my 3 year old!!! Can you belive it?
ReplyDeleteI have a award for you on my blog!
Congrats on the nomination, well deserved.. Bubba is certainly cute.
ReplyDeleteI have a fun award for you.
Sounds to me like you have one very smart little guy on your hands. Picking your battles is something I'm doing too.
ReplyDeleteCheers to the little victories!
I am glad that I am not a parent. I would be miserable!
ReplyDeletebut did he finish his ice cream before trying to maim the bird?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh,the last comment is freaking hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI think it is something about the smart one's. Boys should not be smart. They get in trouble that way.
