I've told my kids' teachers that if they hear anything inappropriate spoken to just assume they learned it from me. Really- horrible. I'm making imperfect progress though!

As fun as it is to watch her become her own person and start to emulate my good qualities, the bad ones leave me humbled. But you hit the nail on the head...we're all sinners in need of a Savior. There are moments when I have to stop, apologize to her, and teach her the right thing. And isn't it so sweet for our momma hearts when they make that right choice?
