New Vocabulary

So today I was doubly shocked by two new words that each of my kids used.

Aidan: While eating saltine crackers Aidan said to me, "Look mom, this cracker is a diamond shape and this cracker is a rhombus." (My thoughts: rhombus? what the heck is a rhombus?)

Lacey: She went to a birthday party that they were able to wear their Halloween costumes to. I decided to put some make up on her to finish off her look. I put mascara on her (she calls that making her eye lashes long), some glittery blush and then some lipstick. I told her she was all done and she immediately said, "Mom you forgot to blot my lipstick." ( My thoughts: Blot? Seriously, you just said blot? She has spent way too much time with Grandma Nana because apparently at her house you ALWAYS blot your lipstick.)

So I say thank you to Aidan's teacher for teaching him what a rhombus is and thank you to Grandma Nana for teaching Lacey to blot her lipstick.

That is just way too funny-- I love it! I think I don't remember what a rhombus is either, let alone that I need to blot my lipstick. That is great!! BTW--thanks so much for the visit-- it was so wonderful to see you and your kids and your parents-- what a great treat! It made my whole week and more!

Great vocabulary. And even used correctly in a sentence. Full day KGarten is paying off.

I need to go back to Kindergarten!!! I had to LOOK UP what rhombus was. I had no idea. So its the education of Grandma. Well, as far as "blotting" goes. You MUST know that every make-up session has to end with blotting. We MUSN't go in public with lipstick on our teeth!! MOM
