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

Out of the blue, 8 Year old asked me if we were Jewish in Eason's on Friday
.
He would not say why he needed to know? But I am sure that his teacher preparing him for his communion would not have been overly impressed.

Toliet-training our son at the moment so I'm getting an indiividual bulletin on every successful trip to the potty in work so I'm taking frequent calls from my wife so my son can have whispered chats with me about potties in a quiet corner of the office.

My lovely just gone 2 year old came running out of playschool today,I bent down to give her a hug and she bull dozed straight in to me and knocked me over.
A nice man helped me back up and I couldn't stop laughing:)
Heavily pregnant with a 2 year old that lvoes her mammy is fun sometimes:)

Doogieboogie

I have no children, but my 6yo niece came running up to me yesterday and gave me a big hug. She stood back and examined my post-christmas belly (not exactly flat at the best of times!) and said ''I think you have a baby in your belly'' (She's obsessed with babies in bellies since her mum had her little brother) I laughed and said, no, I don't have a baby in there. She poked my tummy with her finger and said ''oh yeah, it's too squashy to have a baby in it'' ! Good job I'm not sensitive!

He took a bottle of French infant nasal spray which sprays up and out a mist of salt saline solution and ran his matchbox cars through the car wash. Only time IVe ever seen him clean anything. There is hope.

my 22 mts old switched off my laptop, after telling him not to touch it. When I asked him what he did he said nothing- asked him again and he said nothing.- nothing again. Then he just said sorry and gave me a hug. I was shocked, I had no idea he could lie, and then apologise for it.

She laughed! For the very first time she proper laughed today! A little girly laugh! She's only 14 weeks so I dunno if she should have done it sooner, but I was so happy! I started crying after she stopped laughing!

My older lad and his 2 classmates got a Highly Commended Award at the BT Young Scientist Exhibition. This proud mammy is beaming.:D

my 4 yr old was cracking up and looking at his 2yr old sister like she was the cutest thing in the world when she was being cute and hiding from monsters today. it was so sweet

amiable

Whilst out for a walk with my 16 month old boy today he saw a cow and said ''MOO'' all by himself without any prompting.
Amazing how such a small thing can mean so much

Just had to find this thread.
my 5yo son was going through up coming birthdays.

He skipped out mine :eek:

This was questioned and his answer.....

You are as old as men get, so you won't be having any more birthdays

Nice to know I'll be 42 forever though


Oh and he laughed in his sleep last night....not just laughed but roared laughing...for about a minute :eek:

On the one hand, I wanted to shut him up, so I could sleep, but it was so glorious as well

He didn't remember his dream...would loved to know what set him off.

My cousin dropped by my grans house while I was there earlier. He brought his (almost) 6 year old son Dillon with him. As everyone was getting ready to leave, Dillon just walked up to my gran without any prompting and gave her a hug. Then whilst walking away he said "I love you" in the same way you might say "cya later!". He's such a quiet boy, but comes out with these cracker comments quite often. His 7 year old sister on the other hand thought it would be nice to give my gran some daffodils....that she had just ripped up from the back garden!

How Strange

I rang my husband in work and said your (8wk old) son has something to say to you and he gooed and gaaed down the phone to him. The two of us were in hysterics laughing.

My 2 year old son this morning in his room:

Dad - why are you opening the drawer?
Son - my ears are like spuddies

He wanted to get a cotton bud to clean his ears - when I'm cleaning them I often say, 'how dirty are these ears? you could grow spuds in them'

maameeo

rang my 8year old, she had her little mobile while out with her nana.
this is how the conversation went...

me: 'Where are you?'
her: 'im in the cafe with nana'
me: 'but its very quiet?'
her:'oh im in the toilet, mam im gona have to go, im stuck in the toilet. thank god i have this phone! right im hanging up so i can ring nana, byyyyee'
me: 'what?? wai..'

beeeeep

i was in shock, she sounded like a little granny saying all that, no panicking whatsoever!

bulmersgal

She starting walking into the unknown yesterday and is so good at it today. Before she would only walk from object to object now she's walking everywhere.

Very strange turning around and she's standing beside me.

Our 4 year old daughter was asking about the Earthquake and the Salami in Japan which she saw on the news.

Not to be making of joke of what happened over there but it was quite funny.

Orion

Chatting to Twin A about getting involved in groups like football/scouts etc and mentioned making new friends. Response: "But Daddy - I don't need more friends - I'll always have 'Twin B'"

Kimono-Girl

Went for her check up with the public health nurse this morning and have been smiling non-stop since,


the public health nurse herself said as we were leaving she rarely see's a toddler at 20 months like my daughter, she was able to do all the tests without a bother on her while chatting away with the health nurse, she was so perfect the health nurse told me she is very advanced for her age.

she also told me you can see she is very intelligent and she felt way above her age group in that category too

with her weight and height she's above average in both but her height is perfect for her weight...:D


i'm so sorry for all the bragging i'm just sooooo proud of her!!!

I have 2 very live wires- two boys, one just turned 2 and another 4. My mother in laws funeral was today and I brought them to the church, I was armed with a bag of goodies and friends behind me to help out when they starting kicking off. But the 2 yrd sat on his grand dad's lap and cuddled him for the whole mass and the 4 yr old sat beside him and kept putting his arm around his grand dad. I have never seem them to well behaved and so quiet, my heart was bursting with pride, and I know it was a small consolation for a father in law to have them beside him today. I know their granny would have been so impressed today with her little grandchildren.

One of my twins (aged 4) threw up in the car on the way to Tesco... she wiped here face said "Daddy I have been a little bit sick".... then she asked mommy for a banana.. ????

My 13 year old son's hurling club represented Waterford at an Aer Lingus sponsored tournament in Dublin yesterday and the 2 top teams got to play the final in Parnell Park before the Dublin v Galway match today and they won.

my older 2 make me smile all the time but my 5 wk old smiled at me for the first time yesterday!

Lady Chatterton

My husband took our four year old into town early on Saturday morning. While in town they met an elderly lady who is a friend of the family and she asked how I was keeping. Our four year old replies;

"My mom is a great cooker and she is so pretty when she has her makeup on". My husband and the old lady almost fell around laughing

My 5 yo scholar....looking out the window

"I see a thousand......no I see a trillion"

Parent "what are you counting"
son "grass......actually I think there is infinity amount of grass"

and just now, he asked "what's 70 times 20"
he got 2 different answers from 2 sources, 14 hundred and one thousand 400, to which he replied, "don't be ridiculous, 14 hundred is not an answer"...
ok this latter one doesn't read funny...but it was funny here and that's what counts!
