I learned today that children become reflections of ALL of your bad habits. I apparently have a potty mouth. Not like a gutter snipe but the oh craps, oh shits, and Jesus (that's a bad one!). I effectively turned the oh shit into oh snap! That sounds really funny coming out of a 21 month old white boys mouth!
Not sure what to do about the Jesus other than to just stop saying it. Aedan's daycare provider advised that I just finish the sentence for him. For example:
#1
Aedan: Jesus!
Sara: ...died for our sins (mommy's potty mouth included!).
#2
Aedan: Jesus!
Sara: ...loves me this I know, for the bible told me so!
#3
Aedan: Jesus!
Sara: ...wept. (ok so I probably won't use this but it is the shortest verse in the entire bible just so you know - Jesus wept.)
The thing about this kid is that the words just don't come out randomely. He uses them in the perfect context! So I guess I should be pretty proud of that. Right? He's a genius!
