Little Boys

So, as most of you know, Tyler has some speech delays, and we have things we work on with him. Specifically, we are trying to help him say the ending sound of words (i.e, "t" with cut). The other day as we were driving home, I took a shortcut, and said I was doing it. Tyler is now (finally!) starting to repeat what I say, so he said his version of "cut," to which I repeated it, emphasizing the "T" sound. Then Ryan pipes up from next to Tyler, "CUT--like chop off your head. Whack" (Making a machete swing in the air). Tyler immediately yells, "No--YOUR head!" And fires back with a light saber sound.

Ahh, the halcyon days of raising little boys--machetes and light sabers. Should I be worried about too much violence?
