"Doe Way"

I have been taking Caleb to the Child Watch at the gym while I exercise. He ends up going 4-5 times per week. Each visit is between 1 and 2 hours long. That really isn't that much time. Apparently though, it is too much time.

It's amazing how quickly children can learn from each other. Caleb really loves to go to "school" to play with Asher and the vroomas. (Asher is not the only other child in there, he's just the one that Caleb likes the best.) He has learned some good things while there. He is learning his socializing skills. He also learns a lot of language and game playing from the older kids in the class. They have a woman come in and teach them sign language. They work on counting and ABC's and other preschool type things.

But, with the good comes the bad. He has learned a couple of phrases that I would like to erase from his vocabulary. His favorite new phrase is "Doe Way" which means Go Away. He even gets the nasty tone with it and will name the person he wants to go away. "Doe Way, Mommy". The other phrase is "Stop It". This one he tries to hit while saying it. Very bad behavior. I know it's confusing for him because he hears other kids using these phrases. He gets upset when he has to sit in time out for saying them. He will learn that these phrases are not acceptable in this house. He's lucky he's so darn cute.
