So, it would appear that the Buglet’s potty mouth – and Gramma outing him for it (haha) – has resulted in the entire Ladybug family attempting to watch their mouths. Ladybug has set up a chart with 10 photos of each person’s mouth set onto velcro strips. Each time a discouraging word (or potty word) is used, a mouth is taken off the chart and tossed into the bucket.
So far, Buglet is losing out big time.
The oldest – D-bug – has lost one.
Mama has lost a couple.
Daddy has lost four (!!!!)
T-bug and the Princess M have not lost any. They say they don’t intend to. :moose:
Rewards were mentioned – something about gold certificates. I’m not sure. I’m just pulling for it to sink into the Buglet’s wee little head that he will get along better once he can keep his mouth(s) on the line.
Oh, yeah – and the worse part (in his little mind, of course) is that crying doesn’t cut it – he still has to take the mouth off the line himself and put it into the bucket himself.
insert Gramma’s laughter here. :moose:
*LMAO* looks like someone ( :dragonfly: ) watched SuperNanny last week.
Sure enough. HUBBY… LOL.. and he has been saying for a while that he wanted to stop… what better way than letting the kids catch us as well. it is all in fun. and there will be rewards. and nothing for little potty mouths that loose all their mouths. Darn it all any how.
I think it’s a very creative way for the whole family to UNlearn bad habits! 😀
