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

When we first moved into our new house, we used to put number 1 on the naughty step for his misdemeanours. This was a good punishment at the beginning, but then we got the stairs carpeted.

The next time we put him on the step, he sat down and said "mmm nice".

Was putting my blue sports bra into my gym bag and my little girl asks
Are you wearing blue boogies today?

My 3.5yr old was in a play centre on Wednesday and the lady at reception called out two boys names. My guy asked what they lady said on the loudspeaker and my husband explained that the two little boys wouldn't leave for their mam so the lady had to call them and ask them to leave. His response was 'OMG that's sooo embarrassing Dad' :):)

Ha ha my boys say that but they got it from gangnam style song. They love it. Think it's hilarious to say. And shake their butts too.

'9year old: 'why did Hitler only have one tonsil Mom?'

Me :'what?'

Him: 6th class were singing a song in yard that Hitler only had one, our teacher said it about his tonsil. He must've been sick and they removed one.

Me: 'yeah that must be it'

Think that teacher deserves a Christmas present this year

Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother,
The dirty bugger
Cut it off when he was small
Hitler has only got one ball
Hess has got no balls at all
Himmler had something similar
But poor old Goebbals
Had no balls at all
Repeat, ad nauseum
Version 2:
Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother,
The dirty bugger
Cut it off when he was small
She put it, in a chestnut tree,
And farted it way out to sea,
Where the fishes,
Cleaned the dishes,
And had scollops,
And bollocks for tea
Repeat, ad nauseum
yet another version goes:
Hitler has only got one ball,
The other is on the Berlin Wall
(This was in the 1970s. A pleasing historical muddle)
Version 3:
Hitler has only got one ball
Joseph has two but very small
And Sambo, poor old Sambo
Has got no-oo ba-aalls at all
(Contributor's Note: "Sambo was the nickname of some kid whose surname was Samson, and not a racial slur at all")
* = Note - some versions substitute Tarzan for Hitler
For some reason people were still singing this in the 1980's!!
Version 4:
... a variation from Peter:
Hitler has only got one ball,
Goebbels has two but very small,
Himmler has something similar
But poor old Goering has nothing at all.
Version 5:
Geoff donated yet another variation:
Hitler has only got one ball,
Goering has two but very small,
Himmler has something similar
But poor old Goebbells has no balls at all.

We used to sing version 4 in school and I'm guessing that was what the older kids were singing in school. Teacher told younger kids that song was about tonsils (not testicles)

I did a big adventure race recently, it was a huge effort for me. By the time I got home I had messages from people who hadn't known I was doing the race. My kids had told their friends who had in turn told their parents. I was so proud of my kids - older teens at that age when they are supposed to be parent hating, self centered teens. And they didn't even gave a house party in the free house they had for a whole weekend.

So my toddler has a speech delay. He's really been flying it the last few months. We've been keeping an ear out for 4 word sentences and 3 syllable words as he has none.
We were at the zoo at the weekend and he got 2 small Dino teddies.
This morning(6am) he calls me to his room all sad. 'Mummy where apatasaurus?' APATASAURUS!!!!!! I find the teddy , he snuggles up and goes back to sleep.
Hubby thought I'd dreamed it but he said it again at breakfast. Proud and shocked at the same time. I'm gonna have to brush up on my dinosaurs!

I decided over the summer that I was getting my incredibly unfit and overweight ass in some form of order so I could deal with my increasingly active toddler. It has been challenging and not something I really enjoy. I started with lots of walking. He loves the buggy thank god!

My toddler is awesome at motivating me. Last night I came stumbling in from the gym, where I had for the first time been brave enough to stay the full 40 minutes and properly given it socks. Above me I hear "Hiya Mama" out of the darkness from the 22 month old who is framed in light of his window where he has yanked up the blind to yell hello when he heard my car. So so cute.

Thays amazing. I remember when my eldest who had speech delay said yo-yo. I was chuffed but Aptasaurus?? Wow. Sounds like a dino expert... again just like my eldest.

3 months ago he had about 10 words. It's amazing how now he's getting 2 new words a a day. I love writing it all down. He only says words that he can say perfectly which is weird! No half or attempted words. Kids are incredible!

Made jelly and ice cream for the wee girl (2) for dessert (actually, she made the jelly last night and I supervised) . Gave her a bowl this evening and she exclaims "Yay happy birthday to Lucy!" then looks at me and says a very serious "thank you."

First time she's had it that I'm aware of, but clearly it's not the first and she's most definitely a fan!

My 10 year old daughter -

"Mam, I don't mind if Santa doesn't bring presents this year but could he please make Granda better"

It made me feel sad because there are somethings unfortunately Santa can't deliver. Like all ten year olds, she can have her selfish days but today she was so kind and I felt so grateful to have her in my life

My almost 3 yr old learnt to sing! He has a speech delay so we have been very focused on words and sentences for months. Then all of a sudden this week he comes out with jingle bells! It's so cute and completely took me by surprise! I've actually no idea when kids usually start singing......

I said thank you to my 20 month old the other day (encouraging manners) when he answers "you're welcome". I was shocked as we hadn't started on that one yet

Sunny Dayz

Bought a pack of 4 muffins as a treat for work. There's 3 of us in the office. The young fella spies them on the counter and looks for one. I says they're for work, he replies well there's 4 in the pack and there's only 3 of you in work. Well you just couldn't argue with that!! He's happily munching on the bun!

angeldelight

I was having a packet of crisps today when 1.5 year old came in and wanted them. I said no they're mammy's so she just sat straight down beside me and said "share?" - how could I not?!

Galway_Old_Man

Our kids decided that they would make the wife and myself breakfast this morning. They're only young so no tea or cooking (!) but it was the nicest toast and oj I've had in years

I'm always telling my youngest lad "you're a great kid".

Yesterday was my birthday and he made me a card saying "Happy birthday, P.S You're a great dad"

I'm still smiling 24 hours later.
