    My guy, almost three, hasn't seen that many movies but now that he's in Montessori they watch one on a Friday afternoon. We were at my parents over Christmas and I went to put on Tangled and was met with a big sigh and 'not another Princess movie mom'.

    I'm happy enough with the very comprehensive Montessori report he got at Christmas (needs more practice at octagons). They do a movie from 4.30 onwards on Friday as they combine the rooms because a lot of kids go home early and they are all pretty tired by then anyway. There isn't a TV in his classroom.

    The most infamous one he has come out with so far was last Easter when he would have been 25 months. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my sister and he said 'mom, you have boobs, auntie A has no boobs'!. Thank got it was my sister and not a stranger :-)

    Heard a few screams there from junior. Went in and gave him a little cuddle, asked him was he ok and put iggle piggle beside him. Was walking out the door when he said no, in a sleepy voice, sat up and starts waving at me, saying night night. They can be so funny at times.

    My husband was on holidays for 2 weeks over Christmas and we had a lovely break, he went back to work this morning. I decided to give the house a good clean and my 4 year old said "The kitchen smells lovely mum, is that because Dad isn't here"

    Went in to get our 2 1/2 year old up for the day. Opened the curtains and told her it was wet, raining and horrible outside today. She says... "That's ok mammy, our house has a roof. We won't get wet".

    The awkward moment when your 3 1/2 year old son comes out of a public toilet with his trousers around his ankles (underpants pulled up thankfully!) and yells "It's your turn now" to the woman waiting outside. Very difficult not to roar laughing at him before we left.

    Always promised myself I'd give an answer to any question my kids would ask! angerous. My eldest, about 7 years old art the time asked me one day, in the car: "Why did they kill Jesus?" I was genuinely stumped! My religion teacher would not have been happy with me! After a lot of humming and hawing i answered: "Because he turned to the DARK SIDE!!" Thankfully he's a huge Star Wars fan and he seemed happy with that! lol! This year hes doing his communion! God help us!! ;-)

    my daughter is about 5 inches taller than me (I'm 5 foot)...

    Me: stretching, reaching, jumping, for the coffee that is on the top shelf (not meant to be on that shelf).
    Daughter: "Aw, need a stool? or a ladder? Dont hurt yourself I'll get it." She just plucks it from the shelf, laughs to herself mutters something to do with "hobbits" and then proceeds to make me my morning coffee!

    The urge to make up some ridiculous story would be so strong with me on that. :D

    When my sister was having her son, all her daughter (then 5 yrs old) wanted to know was how was the baby going to come out - not how it got in!! "The doctors know how to do it!" was the bog standard response!

    I am lucky, my son asked that last summer, but as I had a c-scar from him, it was easy to explain. Thankfully how mommys have babies hasn't come up yet.

    I'd find that the easier question to answer, it's just biology! :) It's the other question that I'd find more delicate! :)

    I'm convinced my two week old is attempting to do proper smiles in the last day or two. It's when he's not windy and we're just hanging out and having the chats together. He'll be looking at my face, loads of eye contact ... and then he'll break out this heartwarming grin. Completely different to his windy smiles. And then he really reacts when I praise him for it.

    I don't care if it's too young for it to be a real smile, I know it is one. My gorgeous little heartbreaker. :)

    Must b a girl thing, my daughter was the same. My son was just happy to know it would happen.
    Last Sunday dinner My nearly three yr old was slow with his dinner so I said go on look at daddy's plate he ate all his. My little man in all seriousness looked at me and said mommy daddy need more food. Cheeky monkey,

    My 21 mnth old had grommets inserted wens. She has very few words.
    Yesterday in aldi i was picking up some baby stuff (currently 33 weeks pregnant) when i was telling her they were for her baby brother. She looked up at me and said baby brother. It wasnt perfect but it was clearly baby brother. I got so excited i turned around to a complete stranger beside me said "did you hear that?" Poor woman just nodded and smiled.

    I was delighted with myself making my 'Operation Transformation' sundried tomato dinner for ds2, he was a little dubious at first but tucked in. All was well until daddy came home & asked what he had for dinner, ds doesn't have many words, but clear as a bell says.....'DIRT'.....expensive dirt those sundried tomatoes.....chicken & pasta for him 2mw!!!,

    My eldest (4yo) was watching me struggling to light a fire the other day, managed to get it lit, and he looks up at me sighs and totally dead pan says "That was some crazy shít"!!!

    I had to fight back the laughter as I disciplined him for using the s-word but his delivery couldn't have been more spot on!
