Watching Our Words
As parents, we all know to watch what we say around our children, but sometimes it’s easier said than done. The Littlest E is almost 2½ and is quite the sponge and mimic. It’s so cute when he sits at the dinner table trying to emulate the way his Daddy sits. He notices everything. Most of the time, it’s wonderful that he’s so observant.
