Most of them have kids. ALL kids do this stuff. I PROMISE!!! When Jasmine was doing this about the age 3, i always, "oh, sorry! you know how kids are!" because they do. and you can even add "he just doesn't like falling and he's a little person" <br /><br />but seriously, i used to think "these people are gonna think my kid is rude" no, its a stage. they're learning all different things and they are VERY curious. don't worry about it. He's not being rude by asking the questions, just curious. and as long as you seemed shocked or whatever, people know you didn't tell him to ask these questions and you are both automatically forgive...by most people.<br /><br />ps the word verification is "foldi" thats what about to do with the laundry, according to joey.lisa.vanv@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806733610501277691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-29198576486682937682009-10-22T00:28:27.728-05:002009-10-22T00:28:27.728-05:00awesome!

She'll say, "mom that yellow girl is cute" or "the red man smiled at me" What would you do if you are in a dental office waiting room and a girl that just HAPPENS to be dark skinned is wearing a BROWN shirt took your 3 yr olds little game away and the 3 yr old yells really loudly, "That stupid BROWN GIRL took my game" OY Vay. onlookers thought she was a racist. <br /><br />The joys of being a mom, right?! lolRhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780571361141805413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-84600151728453490872009-10-21T22:02:59.733-05:002009-10-21T22:02:59.733-05:00Hmmmm . . . a couple of years ago, I was hurrying ...Hmmmm . . . a couple of years ago, I was hurrying through Miseltoe Marketplace, swinging my arms, when I accidentally kinda grabbed this guy's butt. (Hey, it was really CROWDED in there!)<br /><br />I turned red and apologized profusely. He dipped his head, looked over at me devlishly, and told me that it was quite all right.<br /><br />All that to say that I'm sure nobody really minds! I can't imagine somebody not falling in love with that kid within seconds of meeting him!Nicole Bradshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921229689096451802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-24210340949163124582009-10-21T10:29:07.565-05:002009-10-21T10:29:07.565-05:00I think you have to see what the reaction of the o...I think you have to see what the reaction of the other person is. If they are offended, apologize and say "he's three and still learning appropriateness, I'm very sorry" and remove Ace from the area.

Person of color parent response (asked of our very patient and understanding UPS man) - I asked Galen 'Why are you white? We're all different colors - you, me, and Aunt Lisa are all different colors. Makes the world more interesting!" Baldness parent response "Not everyone has hair. Remember when Gramma lost her hair b/c of medicine she was taking, and everyone has different hair styles, too." You're quick on your feet, Stacey - just keep thinking 'he's cute - people like him' and then you'll free up your mind from worry, and be able to think FAST of responses. ;)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013990520673074748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957098.post-55318679430330571072009-10-20T22:23:05.131-05:002009-10-20T22:23:05.131-05:00I'm guessing that "die laughing" isn...I'm guessing that "die laughing" isn't the answer you were hoping for.

Maybe you could talk to him and let him know about it's not nice to touch people's butts even if he is trying to steady himself. Maybe you could also mention to some of the church people that if they see him coming to maybe put out a hand for him to grab. Try not to be too horrified about this, most little ones do grab an occasional rump or boob. I'm sure his "grabbees" understand that he's not trying to cop a feel. He's such a sweetie pie and so dang cute, I'm sure he doesn't offend as many people as you fear.HEATHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324130429322268692noreply@blogger.com
