Quick Thought

Last night as my lil family sat in the living room I found myself just watching Ayden. I am sure I have done this before but this time it was indescribable. I watched him with his bum leg scoot around playing with more heart then every thought possible. As my child reenacted the entire movie of Cars I laughed as my heart filled with complete joy. We forget to easily to stop and just watch one of the precious gifts God has given us. As he continued to race and race and race I was amazed by how much he has grown and how smart he is. The time has really flown by. As I went to bed I looked at my husband and son and thought........

I AM BLESSED! Thank you God for my blessings.

NO CUSS WORDS AT THE DINNER TABLE PLEASE...

We typically try and sit down at the dinner table as a family most nights together. We say our blessing and then eat and chat about the events of the day. However, last night while at the table all of the sudden Ayden said is shut up a bad word? Our response was yes it is it is very hurtful to say that to people. Then he asked is shucks a bad word? No shucks isn't a bad word. Next I about spit my food out when he asked if damn it was a bad word? Kyle and I both said YES that is very very ugly and it hurts God's heart when you say that. I had to get up and walk away from the table. Then it gets better (sorry Jill I am sure this is much more to this story) when I asked Ayden who said those ugly words. His response: Dannah and Jameson. I said well it doesn't matter who says them they are ugly and if you hear anyone say those you tell them I don't think we should say those words. Ayden continues to ask well is stupid a bad word? Yes stupid is a bad word too. So we continued to go through the list of all the bad words he knew and who says them. The list of bad people who say bad words according to Ayden: Dannah, Jameson, Mommy Daddy Carson and Cooper. Ha Cooper definately can't talk so I am sure much of this is made up. The list of good people who don't say bad words: DeDe KeKe Robby Kate Aunt Jill Jojo and Ohio~. Ha while we love Ohio we have often had to remind him of the presense of children and to watch his mouth so the fact that he makes Aydens good list and Mommy and Daddy are on the bad list (for shut up but yes it is an ugly word that I have had a ugly habit of using as "Oh my goodness SHUT UP you aren't serious" Hence I'm on the notty list.) is very disstressing.
So the conversation ended with me telling Ayden now that you know what all those bad words are and that it's very ugly for anyone to say them what do you say when you hear someone. SO he asked his Daddy to say one so he could say it. Well Kyle wouldn't play along so I said ok pretend Mommy just told Daddy to shut up , which is very very ugly and Mommy wouldn't say that, what would you say. He said We aren't suppose to say those words so I don't think you should say that either.
So hopefully that will put an end to the ugly words...well til he runs across more!
