Parenting score.... Zero

Yesterday Lydia picked up "The Jesus Story Book Bible" and clear as day said "Bi-ble." I was so excited to think that we have talked about the bible enough with her and Micah that it was a word that she added to her vocabulary, which is expanding everyday! So I thought with my prideful spirit... Score one for decently good parenting....

But turns out Micah has also been expanding his vocabulary. About a month ago we put a ban on Micah watching the original 101 Dalmatians. It is his favorite movie. But after viewing it, we realized they say a word often in there that we did not want to be used by him. So before he started to use it, we thought it best to put that movie on the shelf. Well yesterday about a month after the last viewing of the movie, as Micah and Lydia were playing, he looked right at her and said, (insert silly voice) "Don't do that you i-di-ot." YIKES! Parenting pride took a plunge back to ZERO. I didn't punish him because he really didn't understand what he said, but after a good conversation and the promise of a spanking the next time it was used was given we moved on.

So yesterday was a good day of words and a not so good day of words... but regardless, they were all good teaching moments!
