    My niece has an ear infection so I was telling my little fella (almost 4) that his cousin has a sore ear, and he replies "aaw, can she not hear anyone's secrets?" :-)

    For seachtain na geailge the boys had a class ceili which parents attended and participated in. Talking about it afterwards, he told me I was the best dancer there! (I think all our praise is turning back around on us!!)

    Little man woke up, marched in through our bedroom to the en-suite. He sat on the loo and I heard the plop plop sounds! Next thing he says "i spy with my little eye something beginning with P".
    I laughed my head off. :-D

    My 6 yr old reliably informed me that st Patrick came to Ireland to teach us Irish. I think the whole St Patricks Day /Seachtain na Gealige might have gotten a little confused.

    2 year old has started teaching us valuable lessons by copying our replies and tones...

    "I have only two hands..." (when asked to pick up something and if she already has something with her)
    "I am too busy sleeping / playing / watching peppa pig / talking on the phone / feeding birds / reading / walking " (when asked to do anything that she doesn't fancy right at that moment)

    13 month old has learnt what a kiss is and has started kissing everything from the dog to her book to her chair - very very occasionally will we get one!!

    We were all siting down having dinner asking our 3 and 7 yr old how they got on in school and montessori, our 3 yr old just out of the blue turned to his daddy and said... "Daddy your my hero" was adorable hubbies face lit up!!

    My 5mo does this 'flirty' thing where he lowers his head, looks up through his eyelashes and gives little half smiles when he is trying to get someone to smile at him. Today he was sitting on his changing mat as I changed his vest while doing it. I looked around wondering what he was looking at, assuming it was one of the dogs (he also does it to the dogs) but they were behind me. Then I realised that he was looking right at my box of breastpads on the shelf above him and trying to engage with the photograph of the baby.

    We went to visit her aunt, who was suffering from a pounding hangover. My two year old started practicing hooting noises into the spout of the watering can, seeing how loud she could get, so I told her that aunties head was sore and she needed to be quiet, maybe she could play jigsaw instead (although that isn't much quieter with the yelps of "I did it!" and clapping for every piece)

    Very serious face on, she went and got a blanket and teddy, makes her lie down on it (both hands on her face, pushes her head down onto it), shushes me and pulls me out of the room. Toddles off again and brings in her beaker of water for her. One more trip, gets her cousins toy stethosccope and thermometer and starts poking her with them, trying to get the thermometer into her ear, and the stethoscope down her top. I was laughing away, but I had to take her out of there at that point, before poor auntie got any more 'care'.

    Every morning when my OH is leaving to drop our 11.5 month old to her nannies. I give her and then him a kiss good bye. Her latest thing is once she gets her kiss she pushes her daddy's cheek over so I give him a kiss. And now when we laugh at her she laughs as well.

    After watching hotel Transylvania my five year old son is obsessed and convinced he is a vampire. He has taken to calling himself vampire John (John is not is name). When in the car the other day he asked me did I know when he was born that he was a vampire. I said no. To which he replied Well you sure had the wrong baby kiddo!!!!!!

    My 5yo son this morning was asking about the big funeral on TV, and I was explaining what a Prime Minister was (or thought I was).... when up he pops;
    "Daddy, I have an important question"

    "Yes son ? " (Expecting something profound)

    "Do the drain monsters eat all the poo ??"

    What do you say to that ! :-)

    14 month old had a tough day - only had 1&1/2 hr nap at lunchtime instead of the normal 2 cos the dog woke her up, then she was busy trying to figure out how to walk for the afternoon...by dinner time it was all a bit much - she had 4 bites, I looked down to get another spoonful and when looked up she was sound asleep! :)
    Ten min power nap and back to the dinner - tis tough being one!

    When I give my 2 year old the thumbs up sign, he gives me the index finger. Just can't isolate that thumb yet.

    There's an ad on the tv lately for one of the financial institutions about what people are saving up for, and my 8 year old son very seriously replies to the tv: "my first car".
    My god, talk about planning for your future!
