Monster Boo has shown us so much in the past few days. He has really started picking up what we are saying and has become way more involved in conversations. Last night I let him have brinner (breakfast for dinner) and I pulled out a box of Rice Krispies. As soon as I set the box down on the counter he exclaimed, "Oh My God". My initial reaction was shock, yes, but then I wanted to make sure that was exactly what he meant. I asked him to repeat it and yes, it was clear as day. I did not scold him, just made sure that he says "gosh" from now on. He's said it a few times now and makes sure to emphasize the "gosh" part.
The other phrase that he was been using is "lock the door". Every time we leave the house or the car he says it. We say this all the time to make sure that one of us is locking the door.
This has really put our family conversations under a microscope. I had not realized how many times I use certain phrases until he said them to me. From now on we are being very careful what we say and how we say it.
