For Pete's Sake

So the conversations goes as follows:

Anthony says,"For pete's sake Mom."
I respond,"Anthony, why do you say for pete's sake all the time now?"
"Why is it a bad word? Sammy at school says it all the time."
"No, it's not a bad word."
Anthony looks disappointed. He thought I was letting him repeat a bad word over and over. Nice.
He then proceeds to tell me,"Mom, I have a girlfriend at school."
"Really? A girlfriend?"
"Geez Mom, a girl that's a friend." Seriously?
"Yeah her name is Anna and she made a mistake at school. She peed her pants and said for pete's sake."

If this is what I am dealing with at four, I am dreading sixteen. My mother loves it, karma I think sometimes comes in the form of your children.

One other fun story. It has been so busy I have not had time to write about some of these and have forgotten in the interim. Regardless, my best friend Leslie had to put her beloved pug Bob to sleep due to his health. It was extremely sad. Anthony has known Bob and played with him his entire life. So I explained to him what was going on with Bob. He really doesn't say a whole lot. About a half hour goes by and he asks me,"So mom, is Auntie Natalie going to heaven too?" Poor thing thought I was talking about his Uncle Bob.

Update on Alex: His teeth have finally cut through, when you slide your finger across his top gum it feels very sharp. All four are there, they now just need to come through. At my in-law's on New Years Day he took three steps to my father-in-law. I am pretty convinced he can walk but I think easier for him to crawl so that is what he chooses to do.

Erik hit a Wild game with Brad this past weekend. Amy- if you have a pic send it my way and I will post it. Glad he was able to go because he has been dying to go, sounds like they had a blast. I on the other hand worked, said I was going to clean my house-didn't, and relaxed. Today is a brand new holiday free work week and I am thrilled!! Yep, I admit it.
