Sorry, I know the title of this post is a little risque for a parenting blog. But that's what you will hear a LOT around our house from DH and I when discussing our lil' Monkey and his doings. In fact, we should blame Monkey's paternal grandmother who first started using the phrase (and yes, we use "friggin'" not the actual curse word -- not that friggin' is any better).
So anyway ... here are some recent occurrances which evoked this phrase from our mouths:
DAPPER GENTLEMAN
DH gives Monkey most of his baths and I when I'd give him a bath, I'd brush his hair afterward (even when there was hardly anything to brush). Now that Monkey has some hair, you can DO something with it. Therefore, DH has decided that Monkey needs a part and when he is done combing his hair, we sort of parade him around the top floor of our house saying, "Look at the dapper gentleman! Such a dapper gentleman!" and he giggles and we have fun. So the other night I took a picture of the "dapper gentleman" look which you can find above.
AT the "MILK BAR"
Lately, Monkey has decided that drinking from the bottle is no longer a family affair but something he only wants to do on his own. This is great sometimes, not so great other times like when he wants to keep knocking it from the coffee table onto the living room carpet below thus spilling little drops of milk everywhere.To the right, there's a picture of him being Mr. Independent at his "milk bar", otherwise known was our coffee table. But isn't he cute in his overalls?!
CHOPPING BROCCOLI!
This picture isn't that recent. It's from about 3 weeks ago when Monkey tried broccoli for the first time. Although, it made a COMPLETE mess and I'm SOOO glad we were at home when trying this for the first time, he was just too cute all covered in green dots.
With respect to the fact that we will need to stop using this type of language in front of our child, this will probably be the last time I use this phrase ...
SO FRIGGIN' CUTE!
... well, maybe outloud in front him or other people :)
