Oh Ladder!

Well Aunt Jilly this is especially for you. Considering it's past your bedtime and you won't even see this til Wednesday I still felt the need to post because I knew you would anxiously be checking. And since multiple entries only count as one if they are done on the same day I decided to post just for you even though I really just feel like getting in my bed. Not much to report this week so far so your left with just this......

So this weekend Hayden has strung his first two words together. Brilliant child right. Well just wait til you hear what the two words are. Hayden and I went to visit my friend Monica who was in town visiting from Boston and Jeff was home putting in recessed lights in the family room. Well before we left Jeff wanted me to look at the suggested light placement and give my okay before he started cutting holes in the ceiling. He got his ladder and set it up. Hayden walks in and happily walks up to the ladder and says "Oh Shit!" Yep that's right. Now I was looking at Jeff and he at I and obviously we are both thinking that we didn't hear that right. Well Hayden quickly rectified that as he continued to excitedly repeat those words over and over. Apparently he thinks that is what a ladder is called. You see Paw Paw has been doing quite a bit of remodeling in his house so I can only imagine that this string of words has been uttered on several occasions and Hayden now thinks a ladder is not a ladder but is a profanity. Jeff has since asked his dad to watch his words and hopefully this goes away before more choice words are added to our son's vocabulary. No fast foward to today.......Hayden and I took Linus to the vet for doggy pink eye and while waiting to check out he gleefully says "Oh shit" to the lady at the counter. She smiles. I say nothing momentarily then pretend he was saying "shirt" instead and say "Yes Hayden, the lady has on a pretty shirt doesn't she" I don't think she bought that for a minute. We left and headed to Wendy's were Hayden enjoyed a kids meal of nuggets and mandarin oranges. We then went to walmart to pick up a few things then headed home for our nightly walk and then it was bath and off to bed. Before bed he was wanting to get a pretzel cracker out of the cabinet and was using all his might to try and reach them. Once I gave him one he was not interested. It was all about the challenge of getting.
