S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G

Spelling seems to be the norm at our house these days. Everything gets spelled.  Even things that probably don't need to be spelled out get spelled out too.

Things like...
G-U-M-M-I-E-S
C-O-O-K-I-E-S
R-E-L-L-A
C-U-P
B-A-T-H
C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E
Y-O-G-U-R-T
O-U-T-S-I-D-E

You know.... the normal things that could create a problem if they are identified!  Especially if they are identified and then missing! {Lord, help us if Rella can't be found!} Or activities that just are not in the plans for the moment.

It's amazing to me how your spelling skills are automatically intensified when you become a parent. It's like a parental super hero power! Things you never thought to think about the spelling of? Oh, those are words you should brush up on because we spell those most often! 

You see, there are times when spelling is a necessity.  

Oh! And curse words.  Learn how to spell those too.  Sometimes a curse word is all you need and {apparently} it's not appropriate for toddlers to scream curse words in public {no matter how funny}. And no, Lainey has not done this yet...

This is a whole new world in parenting at {the nuthouse} because until now, we could say whatever we pleased and didn't have to worry about what was heard. My how thing have changed.

Welcome to the spelling bee, my friends!
