Yes our sweet little Sammy has discovered how to use one lovely swear word: sh....t. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago and ignored it hoping it would simply go away. Joe finally was witness to Sam's naughty word last week at dinner when Sam 's guy fell off the table. We both could hardly contain the laughter. Of course that didn't help. So last weekend we are at a new 3 yr. old friend's birthday party when Sam accidentally drops the crayon he was coloring with. I bet you can guess what came out of his mouth next. Yes and he didn't just quietly say it. He yelled so that all around could hear. Those near were laughing and amazed at his ability to use it in perfect context. As responsible parents, ignoring this behavior is no longer an option. We've given him some new words to use like "oops", "uh-oh", or even "shoot" (despite that it is so similar to the real deal). This is working part of the time, but Sam still prefers the effect of the big S word. Yesterday when he used it once again I told him that it is not a nice word to use and that if he says it, he'll need to take a time out. Sam shaking his head from side to side says, "No, no, no-sh...t." I guess the next step involves washing the mouth out with soap-uuuhh-. Two can be so entertaining.
Sam enjoying the party.

The expression on Sammy's face with the smoothy on it is priceless! It goes perfectly with the "potty mouth" story. Emery said "D-MN IT" at the table this weekend and Hill and I just kind of stared at each other like "that could not have been what he said. We don't use that expression in front of him." Then last night Emery was playing on the couch and there was a sound that sounded like he fell of the couch and I shouted "D-MN IT." He had not fallen off the couch, but he did repeat what I said...once again. These boys! I miss talking/seeing you every day and comparing our stories!
That is hilarious about Sam using the first bad word at just the right time! He looks so grown up now! Love you guys hope all is well,

What a funny story. We were laughing out loud. Kids pick up on everything at this age. Elly right now is into the word AWESOME. She is absolutely adorable when she says it. I'm sure Sam was just as cute saying his new found word.
We love you!!
Jenelle I love hearing your stories, it seems there is never a dull moment at the Carberry house, thanks to Sam the man. It makes me wonder what Kaisley's first naughty word will be, it is hard to amagine her big enough to talk. Everyone says it will happen before you know it. Love you all... The Minert's
P.S I wish I was in Cali, I think were in for a long winter...only you guys can relate :)
