House Rules

1. Never eat anything in front of the toddler that the toddler cannot also eat.
2. Never eat in the family room (she WILL call you out on it)
3. Never say 'stupid' (see above)
4. Also, Never say anything that will sound inappropriate coming from a toddler's mouth (ex. Last night, while watcing March of the Penguins, Neil said, "What is this, penguin porn?" Toddler promptly asked, "Why is it penguin porn?" Now for all those that are worried, March of the Penguins is a wonderful documentary, with nothing that I would call graphic. S has watched it many times and enjoys the baby penguins.)

Ha! I love it... Jason is already warning me to clean up my langauge (read: no more stupids or shoots) before Leah starts parroting it all!

Colin is always calling Brett out for using inapropriate language. Such as "hate", or "stupid". It makes me laugh everytime he does it.

Oh, isn't that the truth! Especially w/the allergy issues, we learned the eating rule pretty early on!

oh yes. i got chewed out for allowing her to eat her snack in the living room yesterday (I was trying to read her a story and feed Jules at the same time): "Mommy, that is such a no no! We cannot eat apples in here!"
