Manners?

Trenton: Wow Mom, your tummy is getting really fat.
Me: It's not polite to tell people they are fat. Try saying, Mom, your baby belly is getting big.
Trenton: Wow, Mom, your baby belly is getting really really big. It's kind of getting fat.
This is where I give him my very best mom/teacher look.
Trenton: Oops! I didn't mean to say fat. I said the wrong word. Your baby belly is getting bigger and bigger.
Me: I know. Thanks.

4 Dogs, a cat, 5 people, and a partridge in a pear tree

Kelly and Tommy arrived a few days ago and as always Trenton is having a great time. They did call to let us know they now have 3 dogs instead of 2. Did I mention that the newest addition is a 2 month old puppy named Sixx Gun? Oh yes, they neamed her after a song. We are pleased they are naming dogs and not children. Although it's a little crazy in our house, we are enjoying their company and looking forward to Christmas morning.
