Things my children learned last week:

William
  • Who Barak Obama is. While I was reading the paper, William spotted a picture of the President-elect and asked, "Who dat?" So, I told him and he now knows who President-elect Obama is by sight. Although when he says his name it sounds more like "Back Mama". It's cute!
  • More Letters! William's favorite book right now is Dr. Suess' ABC book. And by favorite, I mean wants to read it at least four or five times a day! Beats flashcards! He can now pick out A - F pretty regularly.
Kayleigh
  • How to spell the word "beer"---no I did not teach it to her...don't ask me how she knows how to spell it! After she wrote "beer" on her Bible story paper, she then followed it with her first written sentence: "My mommy likes beer". Thanks, Justin. And before you start to worry that I have a alcohol problem...I don't, and I can count on one hand the number of time she has actually seen me drink a beer. Justin taught her this...he thought it was funny...now it's not so funny, since she has now repeated this to a neighbor and proclaimed it in the grocery store while shopping with her Ame. Warning to parents of younger children: Your child's brain is a very sophisticated tape recorder and you do not control the replay button!

It is for this very reason that I have vetoed Jason's occasional nickname for Silas: Booger butt. I can just see his brothers still calling him that at 40. No, thank you!!

I do not think there is anything wrong with liking beer! saying that the kids always repeat something at the worse time
Shame on daddy for teaching her that

Hilarious! Just think, she could have learned something worse to write. I think one of mine wrote something about my underwear in preschool. Lovely. Not that I paraded around in my underwear. Who knows what he was thinking??? At least when he was in 1st grade he redeemed himself by filling in the blank with "my mom loves....to do Bible study." I felt so spiritual! (ha, ha)

Oh my goodness, that's funny. =) You wouldn't believe the things I heard about parents when I taught pre-K. Don't worry - this is nothing! And with little to no attention paid to her when she says/writes it (after the initial shock wears off =), she'll forget all about it.
But don't forget to keep a copy for the baby book before this phase wears off. =)
