The kids were watching something on TV. A commercial for Superman came on and the boys were all excited. Taylor says, "Boys, we don't like Superman in this house, he's an alien did you know that?, In this house we believe in Jesus and Batman."
Classic.
Jeremy and I have taught her well.
I feel like I've done a pretty good job of shielding Taylor (and the boys) from all the Sex talk/showing of our generation. And I had this conversation relating to a teen show Taylor was watching that I don't like for her to watch:
Taylor: "Mom, I'm watching (show name)!!"
Me: "Okay, don't get used to it, I don't want you watching that show"
Taylor: "Why?"
Me: (thinking, Hmmm, Well....how do I say this...) "The girl in show is a role model for girls whether she wants to be or not, when you are on a kids/teen show like she is people are going to look up to you."
(looking to see if Taylor wants more...yes, okay how should I put this...)
"Well, she did some things--in life, not on TV-- that weren't very role modelish.......,she had a baby before getting married,"
before I could go on, Tay says.... "How did THAT happen?"
I don't know how exactly to approach that subject with her, is she old enough to know? Or should I keep shielding her. She has asked where babies come from, but all we've told her is that God brings them to people who are married!! And she hasn't asked again.
I didn't put the show name in because I don't want to make a big deal about who it was, if you watch the news it's not that hard to figure out. I'm not wanting to judge her in particular in anyway but she has younger and teen viewers and if we are trying to teach our teens to wait til marriage it doesn't help to have people that are their age and who they want to be like, to be in that kind of the spotlight. Oh well enough about that...
I hate to leave this on a sour note. So....
Will is turning 4 on Tuesday!! I am having a hard time getting used that fact!! =)
He's so big everyone thinks he's 4 already! =) And he keeps talking about getting to go to school and I'm just like slow down bub!!! =) They grow up too fast...
We went to Sea World for the last time last Wednesday. It was the last day they were open so I thought we should go. It was fun, we went to see the Polar Express 4-D Experience and it was really cool!! I would love to see the whole movie in 3-D now!! The glasses were a little too big for Drake but he looked so cute!

I'm must say that I am impressed you were able to so quickly get off the subject of sex and turn to the upcoming birthday! Rheannon asked me a question this morning, and I just ignored her.
