Vocab Lessons

I just love providing examples of the excellent parenting skills hubby and I possess. I mean, sheesh, our expertise needs to be shared so that it can benefit and bless others who happen to come across this sage blog.

Take, for example, the new word that hubby taught the children. Turd. "Turdman", actually. Isn't that so quaint? And when it comes out of the sweet mouth of a 7-year old child it just warms your heart right up! Hubby came up with this lovely term after our dog did her, um, business out in the snow the other day. You see, her business closely resembled the shape of that dear winter character we all know and love, Frosty. Insert "turd" in place of "snow" and, voila, you have "turdman".

Charming! So, naturally, when LM began singing about "Frosty the turdman" you can imagine how pleased I was with his newfound lexicon. Way to utilize those new vocab words, buddy!

So there you have it, folks. A creative idea for you to incorporate new words into your children's vocabulary. (Not to mention reinforcing their already growing fascination with the natural phenomena called doggie poo.) Lovely!
