Examples for good and bad

Lincoln copies everything! He has a comment about almost everything. And it's usually something he's heard somebody else say before. He's always been such a little mimic.
I realized a few days ago something bad I had taught him! Well for a month or so he's been saying "Mama, I broke this." when he takes something apart he can't reassemble or really does break something. And the other day he was looking at a toy he'd broken a few weeks ago, and I heard him say,"Oh crack, I broke this." When he said "crack" I realized he meant "crap", a word I exclaim in frustration sometimes. I know it's not a swear word and that's why I use it, but I didn't want him to use it. Shoulda known he'd pick up on it eventually! We sat down and had a serious little talk about how both of us are going to stop saying that word. Well, I was serious.
I guess I'm a bad example sometimes! He should try to be like his daddy.

Here is Lincoln wearing his dad's shoes. He obviously couldn't move in them very fast this way, so we actually could use the camera and get non-blurry pictures!I'd be very happy if Lincoln grows up to be a lot like his Daddy. I married a good man who is a good example to his family.

And also, on Feb. 27 Mike's brother and his wife gave birth to Benjamin Aries Christensen. It's the first real nephew for both Mike and I, and Linc's first real cousin! And here is his picture.

I hope Lincoln can be a good example and a good playmate to Ben as they grow up.
