Mommy Piggy

As we were sitting down last night for a nice family dinner last night, I (very ladylike, I must add) burped. Then this happened:

Me: Excuse me!
Abby: Mommy piggy!
Josh: ::laughter::
Me: I can't believe you taught her that. We really need to watch what we say around her because she is picking up everything.
Abby (clearly enjoying that she had entertained her father): Mommy piggy!
Me: Seriously, what happens if she says that to a kid in day care. I don't want her doing that. It isn't nice.
Josh (continuing to laugh): How about we say "Mommy pretty".
Abby: Mommy pretty.
Me: Thank you. Now say "Daddy in the doghouse!"
Abby: Daddy dog house.
Me: Good girl.

Our little sponge is picking up everything we say and sometimes if we just say something in passing. It is wonderful that she is learning all these new and wonderful words but not at people's expense. Just this past week she has started singing the ABC's and more descriptive labels such as "Mommy's hot tea".

Now if I can just train Josh...
