things you don't want your child to say

Today at the grocery store E and I were in one of the aisles where a safeway employee was stalking one of the shelves. While the employee was bent over and we were two inches from her, E points and says to me quite loudly "bum!" So glad that he is so observant.

KJ, I'm thinking of closing melmoworld and just posting here. But I was thinking of leaving a little note on melmo that I had moved here with you. Meaning I would say that I had moved to this blog and am posting to and with a friend from the US. What do you think, would that be cool?

Do you guys have any special Christmas traditions?

I want to start some, but not sure yet what to do, and also need to get organized to do my ideas. Next year I want to do an advent activity calendar or bucket, where you put fun ideas to do for each day leading up to Christmas, I'd start Dec 7th, the day after E's birthday. I'd mix up the ideas to be fun family activities, like make hot chocolate for everyone with all the fixings, and then fun Jesus activities, like make some cookies to give to someone who it might cheer up.

Have you guys built any traditions?
