Words we don't say

There are many words that are not to be used in Joshua's classroom.  We are usually informed of the prohibited vocabulary by being told, "we don't say _________."  Lately Joshua has been trying to sneak some of the words in.  The following conversation occurred between Dave and Joshua on the way to school this week:

J: "Dad, do you know what my nap mat just said to me?"
D: "Your nap mat is taking to you?  What did it say?"

J: "Shut up!"

D: "Your nap mat told you to shut up?"
J: "Yes, and I just told my nap mat 'whatever.'"

 

Obviously "shut up" is a word we don't say and "whatever" has been something we are trying to teach Joshua never to say to an adult because it is disrespectful.  But you have to give him credit for creativity and finding a loop hole to use both words.

 

Also this week the Nolens have come to visit and meet Anna Ruth. 

Gran and Buddy are having a good time holding the baby and playing football with Joshua in the yard. 

 

 

When she isn't being held, Anna Ruth is often found sleeping soundly in her bed!

We are grateful for a good sleeper (at least for now).
