Kids learn from us, copy everything we do and say, most of the time it's cute and clever and we are oh so proud, and then there are the funny times. Currently my 3 year old has decided that he wants a baby just like mum and so his favourite buzzy bee soft toy has been chosen as "my baby". He carries it around under his arm everywhere he goes, unless that is 'baby bee' is having a sleep and all tucked in his bed. He talks to it in a soft baby voice- "it's ok little one, you are ok." "You are so cute." "I love you." And many more soothing things he has picked up. If he has to go anywhere or leave him for any reason then he explains to 'baby bee' what or where he is going. He has even pretended to breast feed the bee! Clothes on of course.
Then there are the things we wish they hadn't heard and copied - like "oh s**t, I forgot my drink!" We had to sit down and explain this was not a nice word and we don't use it in this house, accusing glances between my husband and I followed.
Still going ok with health kick on day three and even managed to fit another 20 workout in. I got so excited I jumped on the scales but the dial hasn't changed, in fact I think I've gained! No, I won't be put off - onward and upward (well downward I hope) I say.
