    I did that poem in school - always loved it.

    Found my 2 boys yesterday morning. The older one had removed the nappy of the younger one (not training yet) and brought the potty into our ensuite and had him sitting down doing a wee. He told his brother he was a 'great little fella'. He was 4 in dec and it was really cute.

    "Mary, Mary, Fat Controller, how does your garden grow" got a good laugh out of me.
    Then I handed him something later and the said 'fanks' and then corrected himself. It took a great effort but he managed a perfect "thank you" and was sooo proud when I recognised his achievement. Bless.

    Amen to the Subh Milis poem. I thought I had forgotten it from school, then it came back to me a few months ago and it just really takes on a meaning now. I'm not sure exactly how to write it (and can't recall the ASCII codes for the fadas)

    Bhi subh milis
    Ar bhascrann an doras
    Ach mhuch me an corrai
    ionam a d'eirigh
    Nuair a smaoinigh me ar an la
    A bheas an bhascrann glan
    Agus an lamh beag
    Ar Iarriadh

    You wouldn't believe the mad symbols this (French) keyboard comes up with when I try anything like that :D

    Daughter, 23 months, at lunchtime stroked her Dad on the arm and said "you're a good man":D. He really is.

    Then later (she is not toilet-trained) she came up to me and said "Mammy I want to go to the toilet now"... so we went and sat on the big toilet cos we haven't even bought a potty yet. I was terrified she'd fall in but she just held on for dear life. She piddled, farted and announced "no, no poo. All done". I AM STUNNED! She performed like an old-timer!! I love this "baby-led" thing!:D:D:D

Classic

    we were in smiths today, my two boys and i, so we were looking around to see what they wanted cos they had gift cards , of went my 12yr old to pay for his ps3 game , 6yr old went up after him just to annoy him. he came back and he said is my brother here (12yr) i was wondering why it took so long to pay, he had come back mad cos 6yr had told him that i was upstairs. so up he went to look for me and in the mean time 6yr old was laughing his head of with me down stairs cos he tricked older brother. its nearly always older lad gets one on the younger. if you knew my boys like me you.d be still smilling yet.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Not today but..I took my then 4yr old to watch his cousin play a rugby match.
    He later described the huddle as 'going in for a cuddle'...

    Also when he was younger he used to sing 'round n round the garden like a teddy bear 1 step..2 step... tickly underwear'!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    My cousin is hilarious, too many moments to mention but one thing he does that is gas is he measures how tall he is by how far he is from his feet!

    Him: Look how tall I am, sure my feet are all the way down there! :D

    He was only 3 at the time! :D

    he made me so proud!!

    DS was at a 5 year olds birthday yesterday and when the chicken nuggets came around , he asked the mother if they were organic:D

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    We were at the airport desk today trying to reorganise some flights. My near three year old explained to the ladies behind the desk "The planes cant go because of the volcano. THe people say "OH NOOOO!"

    My 16 month old has recently learned how to climb up onto the foot stool we have in the sitting room but she could never get off it until this morning when she just jumped down! Little dare devil...

    She's also so loving toward her little sister, keeps coming over and saying her name and kissing her, rubbing her head and trying to wind her when I'm winding her!

    My 15mo daughter said Ready last night and walked to the door, she wanted to be changed for bed and it was just about time for bed.

    Since my wife has been showing on our second child, our 21 month-old has been prodding any tummy he stands near (recent ones: grandmother, creche assistant, etc) and asking, "Baby?".


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,214 ✭✭✭cbyrd


    my 7 year old recently had chicken pox and early on i was putting cream on the spots i said 'holy god they're popping out as i speak!'.. her reply..'stop speaking then mammy please' :D

    We just had dinner using chopsticks for the first time ever.
    It was damn funny, the youngest was really struggling and when she finally managed to get some food up to her mouth first time she dropped it as she was giggling so much and that pretty much set the rest of us off, again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 559 ✭✭✭TargetWidow


    Our 2year old daughter was prodding me fairly hard in my 29 week belly to see if she could elicit a kick from the baby when I was trying to explain to her that she needed to be gentle with mammy's tummy because we didn't want to hurt mammy or the baby. I told her that if she was nice to the baby it might decide to bring her a present when it comes out and that she should tell the baby what she might like (thinking, doll, teddy... usual stuff... ) Unfortunately her daddy had given her a look through the home and garden section of an argos catalog to amuse her earlier in the day without my knowledge. So she leans in to my belly, lifts up my top and whispers "Can I have a treehouse please little baby?" :eek::D

    I heard my 4 year old talking in his room last night. When I went in he was talking to his teddys. When I asked what was going on he says as straight as you like " The white teddy is on time out for giving me cheek and killing hippo (another soft toy) stone dead".
    You have to laugh!

    The same 4 year old:
    When driving to the creche this morning, I pulled in to let a garda car with it's siren going pass me. When we got to the creche, the conversation goes:
    4 year old: " That was a close one dad"
    Me: "What was"
    4 year Old : "I thought the Police were going to arrest you and they probably should have dad"
    Me: " Why"
    4 Year Old "Because when they passed I opened my seat belt and it's your job to make sure it's closed at all times, it's really not good dad!"

    I could have killed him for opening his seat belt, but I had to keep in the smiles also.

    The young fella (3) was unfortunately hospitalised with tonsilitis a fortnight ago.

    He had to get a drip put in and after a marathon battle of blood squirting, struggling, screaming and numerous failed attempts they decided to take a blood sample. While being almost held down he screamed "Why are they doing this?? Ive no blood left in my arms?!".

    Made me smile at a traumatic time. :)

    Watching the Chelsea v Tottenham match with my 16 month old.

    When John Terry got sent off he started waving "Bye-bye".

    So proud!

    I had an almost 3 year old mindee with me this afternoon and she was going around singing "down ManU down ManU flush them down the stinky loo"

    She said her mum told her that lol.

    James figured out that if he pulls the toggle beneath the lion on his bouncer that it will play music, all day I hear the song start followed by massive giggles. Sick of that song already, thank god you can take the toy bar off the thing!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,900 ✭✭✭Quality


    My 4 year old has decided he doesn't like his name.
    He wants to change it...... To knuckles!

    So I have to call him knuckles, we were out on friday night and a ladyasked his name and he told her proudly "knuckles"


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 17,231 Mod ✭✭✭✭Das Kitty


    The small man is here tapping his fingers on the coffee table in perfect time to the music :eek: he's only 10 months. I don't know where he gets it from neither his Daddy nor I have any rhythm!
