My 4 month old is driven demented the last couple of days with teething. He's just fallen asleep in my arms after two hours of whinging and chewing his fists.....
.......and promptly started giggling in his sleep
Would love to know what is so funny!0 -

My son has started doing this really distinctive cry when he's hungry. It's like, "UUUNNNN-GHHEEEEE, UUUNNNN-GHHEEEE."
It sounds exactly like he's shouting "Hungry, hungry!" (He's not, he's only a month old.)
Bad mammy, getting amusement out of how the baby cries.

"Actually, uncle, it's dinosaur skull !"....
A week later, he's back for a visit..."Did you find another skull for me?"
No but I'll look for one.
"Good, I really need another one".
Why?
"I have to get more teeth for the tooth fairy. She gave me lots of money for all the dinosaur teeth." 0 -

William (five weeks old) just went to sleep with his little fist grasping my finger like he'd never let go.
I know of course at that stage they don't care who they grab on to, as long as they can hold on to something. But he seemed really properly attached, and really happy to have his mammy to hold onto.
It's the little things!0 -

Just wait til he starts grabbing it and shoving it into his mouth to teethe on and gobs all over it til it runs down your wrist...
You'll love him even more.0 -

Our six year old was talking about how he would be the best big brother if we gave him a little brother or sister. " I would be the best brother ever! I'd kiss it very gently and make it laugh when it is sad" We told him we would think about it.
Im 15 weeks pregnant and we are dying to tell him that he actually will be a big brother soon
.
So we told him the big news. His reaction was priceless.
Him I'm going to cry.
Me: Oh don't be upset nothing will change our love for you.
Him: I'm not upset I am so happy!
He has been so great. Talking to the baby, kissing my tummy, covering my tummy with a blanket every evening when daddy is bringing him up to bed. and making me drink a glass of milk everyday because "The baby needs to be strong"0 -

My eight-year-old was the same when he was younger. We were awoken most mornings to his singing. He now goes to lessons and can belt out the tunes goodo!IvyTheTerrible wrote: »Lately, my little fella has started waking up singing! He still wakes up early but it's much nicer to walk up to that than to crying!0 -

That's just way too adorable!! What a beautiful little boy you have; he will be a great big brother 0 -
It makes me so happy cos he can really hold a tune! I love singing but I'm terrible. His daddy's family are very musical so it must come from that side!My eight-year-old was the same when he was younger. We were awoken most mornings to his singing.

My 9y.o son decided today that he is going to do Shave or Dye!
He has been knocking around ideas for a fundraiser since Sept and this has grabbed him
We've had a bad run with cancer in our family and he's decided that while he can't help those we've lost, that he can raise money to try and make sure that other families can avoid the pain ours has had.
I keep telling him he can change the world one step at a time....
He keeps taking big bloody steps!
I'm going to get my own hair dyed and crazified too if he reaches the target he's set himself...
And even if he doesn't, he's got a very very proud Dad!0 -
If he's singing like that, by himself, so early, it could be that it comes naturally to him. He could try lessons as soon as his reading skills begin to develop. In the meantime, lots of musicals on TV and Lyric FM on the radio and he will love you for it!IvyTheTerrible wrote: »It makes me so happy cos he can really hold a tune!

Edit: Actually, I remember when telling my boy that he would be starting lessons the following week his reply was, "at last!".0 -
Oh I often put music on for him, and we listen to songs from the musicals already (he loves Doe a deer, I could sing that 10 times in a row!). He loves traditional Irish music too, he bops along to it!If he's singing like that, by himself, so early, it could be that it comes naturally to him.
