6 yo son comes into our room this morning and sleepily announces "I'm not doing my own yawn anymore, I'm doing a cats yawn from now on.

Was over at the in laws today and brother in law was admiring my little fella's 'Cars' t-shirt... Cue darling son (3)pulling down his shorts (brother in law didn't know what was coming next,...:-D) so that he could show brother in law his new 'Cars' underpants...
We were in knots. :-D

Was minding my 7 year old twin cousins last week when the little girl turns around to my mam and out of no where says 'do babies come out your bottom? I saw it somewhere in a book!'. My mam just didn't know what to say!

The little boy was asking me if my cats/dog were boys or girls, so I told him that the dog was a girl and one of the cats was I girl, he got this real cheeky look on his face and was just like, 'oh they will be having babies soon then!' The look of horror his face when I tried to explain that our animals won't be having babies as they are neutered.. 'You took out their baby makers? Did that not hurt?! Will my sister have to get hers taken out too??'

I dont know if I wanted to smile or cry...

He is 18 months today and suddenly appeared up sitting in his high chair. We could not figure how he got there and I took him out only to watch him climb up on the chair, over and on to the tray of the high chair, spin 180 degrees on the tray and sit himself into the seat...

I was 50% proud and 50% petrified.

My 2 year old decided to help me get dressed this morning. She gets down off the bed, full of determination and pulls out a pair of knee high boots, then hands them to me with a big grin, saying 'Shoes!'

I had to tell her it was too hot for me to wear them, so she decided to try them on herself instead.

My 7 year old daughter and 4 year old sons conversation having lunch I was standing in the hall listening!

Daughter to son " do you know why women have boobies"?

My son " yes cause there girls they need them"

My daughter responded " no to feed babies with!

After I said its not nice to talk like that I walked out of the room and couldnt stop laughing!

My nearly 3yr old daughter "what's your Dream daddy?" me "to have a lovely family and to be happy. What's your dream sweetheart?" "to watch mickey mouse on telly!"

How Strange

Our not even 2.5yr old was playing outside one evening this week when he turned to his daddy and said 'come here and do us a favour'. My husband just fell around the place laughing.

I was getting dressed earlier after a shower. My 4 year old son walked into the room and looked at me. "Mommy, your willy fell off, we have to get you a new willy" and walked out again. I hear him to his father "We need to go to Tesco to get Mommy a new willy" calm as anything.

At my 5yr olds sons match and they lose....again.....this is really begining to get up my nose cause i am ultra competitive. So we are in the car coming home and I say "disappointed about losing today?" and he goes "nope daddy cause it's not about winning.....it's about having fun"

Nearly had to stop cause my eyes were so welled up. 1000 times prouder of him then if he had scored the winning goal

Love ya son

My son got all his junior infants books back from school today . Got such a kick of seeing his copies and all the stuff he did during the year. Amazing to see his own personality in his drawings.
Teachers are great too

My 16 month old has just started to give kisses and he makes a "mmmm" noise when he does it. Anyway yesterday I was holding him while his daddy was about to go to work. He came over to say goodbye and L pushed our heads together and went "mmmm" until we had a kiss!

Sorry, but the humour was lost due to the poor spelling and grammar. I'm not having a go at you, I'm just explaining why I personally didn't find it funny.

My 5 year-old son and I were playing with the Solar System Explorer app (highly recommended even for adults) on his tablet last night and chatting/answering questions.

When I was leaving for work this morning, he asked me how long would I be in work so "we can talk about the planets again when you comer home".

Voltex

Eldest son (6) had a lesson on what floats and sinks in water and was explaining this to his younger brother (4).

The older fella gave examples of things in class that sink..stones, chalk, coins...he then asked his younger brother what he thought would sink..he said "gates, buggies and aliens"...pi ssed myself listening to it!!

Waking up in the same bed with my 2.5 year old daughter, she asks to play 'I spy'. I give her a couple of easy ones to guess and she gets them straight away. Then I up the challenge "something with wings, but not a bird or a butterfly". She scans the room and comes up with various stuff, but can't crack it. Finally I tell her it's the guardian angel wall hanging thingee.

She looks at it in disbelief for a while, and then goes "Oh yeaaaaaaaaahh......", and proceeds to give me a hug, couple of pats on my shoulder, and "Good girl man. Good girl man daddy".

Me: :eek:

My daughter and friends were doing to princess dressup thing in the garden and my 2.5 yr old son wanted in so he spent the afternoon in a sparkly pink tutu delighted with himself running around the place and showing off.

Went to Glasnevin cemetery with the small fella yesterday. He has an odd obsession with all things Michael Collins, so we said we would bring him to the grave. Went to the grave and he was heartbroken since he thought he was actually meeting the man. So we explained that he has gone to heaven, but that he would be happy that he took the time to talk to him and put a flower on the grave. After we left the grave, he turns around to us and says "Now we have to get a helicopter and go to heaven to Michael Collins" Oh childish innocence.

My 4 year old son did this other day. Even though he had a fireman sam outfit he insisted on wearing his sisters nurses outfit.

He thought it was great the innocence, I wasnt going to let him first but it was all a bit of fun.

2 year old is calling me from her room first thing in the morning. I didn't sleep well, roll eyes, I am trying to stay in bed 5 mins longer. Don't know why she doesn't just come in to me as normal for a chat. She just keeps saying MAAAAAAMMMMY, and I keep calling her name back. I give up when she just starts saying it over and over. I go in, slightly bleary eyed... 'Yes, here I am, what do you want'. She gives me a sheepish grin and says 'You look very pretty today mammy'.

heh. Can't stay cross with that.

Today I got pooed on, peed on and then he vomited all over my boobs, all within ten minutes. I still think he's gorgeous!
