The Knack

Chris' mom sent us this video and I think it perfectly sums up Grant.

Enjoy!

My Most Mortifying Parenting Moment (so far...)

So Grant, Kendal & I went to Destination Maternity to help Renee (Lindsey's mom) pick-out some things Lindsey will need for her hospital stay.

The store has a nice play area to keep the kids entertained while I shop. So I've helped Renee pick out some things, and while she's checking out I go to retrieve my kids. Grant is playing with a couple of hispanic kids, building a tower with big blocks. One of the kids, a little girl about 5 or 6, has silver fillings that cover the front of her teeth. I approach and hear Grant saying to her "look at your teeth", "you've got funny teeth". I die! I just smile at the little girl, who is now self consciously touching her teeth, and tell Grant we have to go.

Our cleaning lady's son, Jesus, also has these same fillings. I've heard Grant talk about Jesus' funny teeth before, but never in front of Jesus.

So? How should I have handled this? I'm not sure Grant would understand that what he said wasn't appropriate. Let me know your thoughts....

Also, another mortifying thing that I might as well mention while I'm at it. We were over at our next door neighbors, just talking in the back yard. They are an older (70's) couple, super friendly & Grant loves Mr. Wendell & Ms. Martha. So anyway, Martha was showing me a stone in her garden that was originally made for Martha Stewart (who was too much of a pain to work with, so the company wouldn't sell it to her.... anyway, that's another story for another time), when all of the sudden Grant pulls his pants down and pees all over the stone. Martha just smiles, and says now she's seen it all.
