It was bound to happen

This morning I found Avery and her bed wet.  We haven't had an accident like this before, but it was bound to happen eventually.  Of course I just assured school on Friday that she doesn't need a pull up for nap time, go figure.  It didn't even wake her up, which shouldn't be surprising as she is a good sleeper, but it does surprise me.

Naughty Words

Avery has long since understood that you should not say "oh my God".  She will correct you - or the people on TV.  It is unavoidable however that she's going to pick up choice words here or there.  The first one was a while back when she said "dumbass". I'm very pleased to report she was not echoing me!

Last night we had a double-whammy.  First she called Saffy a "brat".  I told her that wasn't nice and she shouldn't call people that.  She then said "I am a brat", so I asked where she got that from, who called her that.  Turns out a classmate called her a brat.  So we dealt with how to handle that and that it is unacceptable.  Later in the evening she called Saffy another name, I don't remember what it was already (where is my memory going).  So once again we had the "you don't call anyone names" conversation and I asked where she heard that.  Yet again a classmate, but a different one.

I really wonder what gems she takes in to teach her friends.
