A few weeks ago Bob made the move to the Big Boy Bed. At bedtime, Jeff sits with him as Bob falls asleep so that they can enjoy quality father/son time and to ensure that our tiny, sleepy, angel does not escape the bed and run through the house pulling his clothes off while yelling, “Damn it! I am a naughty bunny! You are a pee-head! Damn! I am so crazy!” Not that this has ever happened more than 6 times.
During their heart to hearts, the guys cover the big issues.

Uhhh, where did Bob learn those words?
ReplyDeleteWhen my dad heard my oldest daughter use colorful words, he asked where she'd heard them.
"Her father, obviously," I told him.
"Right." Father knows.
Apparently, he learned all of this lingo from some old pee-head.
