The Buts are back. It is time to banish them. Great except the two year old now really likes the word--- BUT.
A big pet peeve of mine is the word but.... followed by a child's reasoning. "Don't give me a but," is directed quite a bit to Marvin.
We had banished the buts a few months ago and today they came back.
"Please turn down the TV. Your sister isn't up yet."
"But I already did."
"Come and eat breakfast now."
"But I am not ready to eat right now."
"It is time to get dressed today. Let's check the weather."
"But I am not in the mood to get dressed."
So once again I have banished the buts. My lecture was great. My deliverance was great. Both M and A listened intently. After feeling I had stressed the point enough I stopped and they walked away. I had a smug look on my face.
Jake started to get out his blocks. I said, "Let's get dressed before we get those out."
He looked at me with those big eyes and said, "but no." Ignore it. He doesn't understand. Don't make a big deal of it. It will get old.
Evidently it is the word of the week. UGH. Every answer has but in front of it.
Marvin came into the kitchen so confused a few minutes ago and I asked him what was wrong.
"Jake butted me again mom. Tell him that is not a nice word."
So today we have PT/OT, orthopedics, doctor's visit and a quick trip to the grocery store while we are out. I am 100% positive "but" will be there too.
"Jake let's go find your shoes."
"But no. Gone."
I wish but was gone too.
