Another milestone reached today but not necessarily a good one. Evie told me that she learned a new phrase: "F*ck it." Sigh. She says she doesn't ever say those words but that she has heard others in her class saying it. I guess I'm not really surprised but definitely sad and disappointed that she's already hearing such potty mouth by other kids even though she's only in kindergarten! :(
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was! Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable. Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd
Oh man! At least she knows it's a bad word. It seems early but I think that sounds about right because I seem to recall a F- story about Max at that same age...
