Bad Word

So, I noticed on Monday that Autumn said her first bad word. Yes, I know...I can't believe it either. To my surprise, she repeated it several times.

Okay, it might not be a bad word to most of you...but to a mommy of a 2 year old...it is. I assure you.

All of a sudden, we were talking and I told her to do something. And there it was: "Fvy, Momma? Fvy?"

I just sat there and stared at her for a minute. And thought, "Oh No! Not the WHY! Not yet!"

So, yes, she's now needing to know "Fvy?"

I caught myself that very night saying to her: "Because I said...oh goodness it's just started and I was about to say because I said so." So I caught myself and answered her in another form. I figured that I would use that answer soon enough. I can't believe it almost came out of the first night.

She's funny because she will ask "fvy?" and then I will answer her, and then she will ask "fvy?" and then I will answer her, and then she will ask it again. Well this time I also answer her, but if she asks again, I tell her that she only gets 3 whys and then we move on.

Brandon said he was ashamed that I was hindering her learning by limiting her whys. Well, if he had to answer them all day, he probably wouldn't make it to three. He was picking on me about it.

But to be honest with you...right now, it's so cute to hear her say, "but fvy, mommy?" Please don't tell her I said that, because I am sure the cuteness of it won't last long!
