What your child did/said that made you smile today.

Was at baby massage with my 12 week old, was stroking his armpit and he started to giggle :-)

I don't know whether to laugh or cry - my 2.5 boy and 1.5 girl just smeared bum cream all over themselves and the playroom, and the leather couch

Baby wipes are your friend.

I meant on the couch, but oh dear on the wooly jumpers front. You don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Having breakfast yesterday morning with Mr Pwurple and our 2 1/2 year old. She was finished before us, so she went off colouring in the next room while we finished our cups of tea and had a chat.

2 mins later she is back out with hands on hips. "Mammy, Daddy, will you PLEASE be more quiet, I am very busy drawing".

Nearly three year old daughter last night insisted that she wanted a sip from my glass of wine. I gave her a tiny sip, and she cringed with taste in her mouth but then says "NICE". And then she shouts in a very accusatory tone "Daddy, you gave me alcohol!! tut tut tut".

Cheeky little thing.

I was grocery shopping this evening with my seven year old daughter.

She placed a travel mug packed with gourmet jelly beans in my basket.......

Her: This would be a lovely present for Ryan.
Me: Ryan, at school?
Her: No silly, Ryan on the Late Late Toy Show, he loves jelly beans so I'm sending him some for Christmas.

On Friday were going down the country for my daughter's Christening. My 4yo.

Him It's Christmas tomorrow.

Me No, S's Christening tomorrow. Christmas is 12 sleeps away.

Him Ah, you're killing me.

Everyone in the Luas near us was in stitches. I always say "it won't kill you" if I want him to do something he doesn't want to do.

My 10 month old drank from a real cup - no lid, no teet and barely any spillage! I was very proud, but bottles are way easier!

Was out having coffee with a friend, had A standing on my lap, she grabbed my face to give me a kiss. I nearly melted!

Then this evening, my dad was throwing a teddy in the air to entertain her, he let it drop and she started giggling

He was trying to pronounce snow while looking out the window totally mesmerised as it fell.

My nearly 2 years old son managed to open the tin of chocolate biscuits, n he took a bite of each one n put them all back and put the tin back in the drawer. So when I opened it last night me n my husband burst to laugh for like 10 minutes.

My 23 month old daughter and i were making a game out of changing her nappy. she what breaking her heart laughing at what she was doing and she said Emmie funny. Every one in the room started to laugh at this. Later I realised she was trying to say Emmie is having fun...

paperclip2

He opened the upstairs window to shout 'Mammy I love you' this morning when I was leaving for work.

Listrydude

At Ross castle admiring the scenery with the family and my wife wandered on with eldest and youngest son, leaving myself and Son 2 - 4 years old to wander. Then absolutely oblivious to the many tourists around the place my son exclaimed, rather loudly! "Feck off Ducks!!" Hilarious, except for the glare herself gave me! The tourists thought it was gas! How can you reprimand while splitting yourseides laughling!! lol

Mars Bar

Not my child but my best friends child (she's almost 3yo) was in the pharmacy with us today and her mother told her to put some make up brushes back on the shelf where she found them or the shop lady will give out to her. So my friend picked up some make up brushes to buy for herself and straight away the daughter pipes up with, "Mammy, put them back or the lady will give out to you!"

They don't miss much do they?

Suucee

Was in dunnes with my 20 mnth old today. She was out of stroller walking with me. Firstly she went over to a mannequin and started touching each toe on its foot mumbling (has very few words) but i knew it was "this little piggy" she was trying to do.

Then as we went further on she stopped at the stiletoes went "ooh" pulled a pair down sat on the ground and went to take her own shoes off. All i could do was laugh.

Children are fascinating at that age I think. My own nearly three year old is constantly on the go.

Yesterday evening as I get home from work she goes "Daddy, you broke my heart!", and then pauses, and then goes, "Daddy, where is my heart?"

I was holding my little one, telling my Mam about something funny she'd just done. She clearly didn't appreciate me telling tales about her because I got " No, Mama!" and a finger on my lips to shut me up.

This wasn't said today, when my kids were young, my brotherinlaw would entertain them by going around the floor on all fours with them riding on his back, they called it horsey horsey, one day when we had family and friends in the house my 4 y.o. said, I saw daddy playing horsey horsey with mammy and he had no underpants on.

I have an abscess on my tooth and am awaiting a root canal at the moment..

My little guy (3) has been so helpful.. he sat with an ice pack to my face last night for an hour while rubbing my hand.. and this morning I found him whizzing around with his little toy Henry the Hoover to help me tidy up.. He never fails to make me smile even when I'm a bit down

Christmas morning 4:45am our little man, almost 3, arrived holding his selection box from his stocking, 'mommy i got chocielat' then he proceeded to tell me which bars he was giving to which sibling. He was delighted he did not have to share it.
