Seth is very blessed to have some older cousins that he gets to spend lots of time with...teenage older cousins. As a result they find humor in teaching Seth to do things that they know he shouldn't be doing. Quite often it looks like encouraging him to say words that are considered "naughty". Currently his favorite of all the words is 'ass'. I am super proud of him for totally nailing the 's' sound as well as pronouncing the ending sound which we have been working on for other words as well. His cousins are just disappointed that they haven't been able to get him to add the 'hole' after it. Either way it got me thinking about how I felt about my young child using naughty words. Perhaps it won’t be a popular opinion, but I’m good with it. As long as he isn’t using words against people, they are words usually used to express anger which I prefer to some of his other choices. So what if he swears when mad? I swear like a sailor and it doesn’t mean I’m a bad person. I would much rather focus more on him being a good and kind person than focus on his vocabulary choices.
Also, it is the cutest thing ever to hear those words coming from that tiny angelic face.
