When my twins were babies, he was the first to walk and she was the first to talk. If he wanted something, she told me what he needed. I had to go out one day around noon, and had them seated in high chairs side by side, wearing new Grandma-made rompers with duckies appliqued on the front. They were drinking mugs of milk when the new babysitter walked in. My son turned his head to look at the stranger, without straightening his mug, and poured milk down the front of his rompers. He looked down at the soaked duckie and said crossly, " Aw, **** !" The horrified sitter asked, "Do you allow him to use words like that?" And I replied that as that was his very first word, we hadn't yet got to the stage of censoring his vocabularyEaster was quiet with just us older adults this year and simple fare but chocolate of course.. nephew, wife and daughter stayed in Canada for the Holiday since they will come later in April for her birthday.. she will be two.
However.. my nephew did post a video of his little girl eating Easter dinner with the caption “Thea’s First Swear Word”. Her mom countered with “she is saying ‘booster seat!’ Erm ..

I did have a few stern words for his father later, though.
