    The wee'un handed me a piece of paper with some gobbledegook scrawled on it. I looked closer and saw it was a note written in perfect mirror writing.

    Redrum?

    I hope our three-year-old doesn't meet yours, she might get a few ideas. Every few days when we've told her she can't do something, she'll respond with "When you and Mammy and my brother are dead I'll be able to watch cartoons whenever I want."

    She's still working on this, by the way. Driving home recently from Dublin to Sligo, she was sitting in the back with her six-year-old brother. There was the usual chatter, arguing, and singing to pass the time, I wasn't paying very much attention until I heard her threaten him with "I'll glue you to the road and then a big car will come and squish you."

    Then on Monday morning she was sitting waiting on the stairs when my wife came past carrying our 4-month-old baby downstairs. My wife suddenly stumbled on the last few steps and hurt her ankle, but managed to hold onto baby. She got a big fright though and understandably was very upset until she reassured herself that baby was okay. She was also puzzled as she didn't know how she fell, she presumed one of her slippers must have come off her foot.

    A while later they were all eating breakfast and our daughter was quieter than normal when she suddenly burst out crying "I'm sorry Mammy, I stuck my leg out, that's why you fell". I guess the pressure finally got to her. She'll need to learn to cope with it if she wants to take up a career as a homicidal maniac.

    While I was serving the 4 year old his 3RD COURSE (!) of breakfast this morning he sat at the table and said "It's like you're my servant."!

    My niece has an ear infection so I was telling my little fella (almost 4) that his cousin has a sore ear, and he replies "aaw, can she not hear anyone's secrets?" :-)

    Little man woke up, marched in through our bedroom to the en-suite. He sat on the loo and I heard the plop plop sounds! Next thing he says "i spy with my little eye something beginning with P".
    I laughed my head off. :-D

    My 6 yr old reliably informed me that st Patrick came to Ireland to teach us Irish. I think the whole St Patricks Day /Seachtain na Gealige might have gotten a little confused.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,426 ✭✭✭positron


    2 year old has started teaching us valuable lessons by copying our replies and tones...

    "I have only two hands..." (when asked to pick up something and if she already has something with her)
    "I am too busy sleeping / playing / watching peppa pig / talking on the phone / feeding birds / reading / walking " (when asked to do anything that she doesn't fancy right at that moment)

    13 month old has learnt what a kiss is and has started kissing everything from the dog to her book to her chair - very very occasionally will we get one!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭hollster2


    We were all siting down having dinner asking our 3 and 7 yr old how they got on in school and montessori, our 3 yr old just out of the blue turned to his daddy and said... "Daddy your my hero" was adorable hubbies face lit up!!

    Leant over to give my daughter a kiss before she went to sleep. Got a roundhouse to the face. "Kick goodnight, Daddy!"

    My 5mo does this 'flirty' thing where he lowers his head, looks up through his eyelashes and gives little half smiles when he is trying to get someone to smile at him. Today he was sitting on his changing mat as I changed his vest while doing it. I looked around wondering what he was looking at, assuming it was one of the dogs (he also does it to the dogs) but they were behind me. Then I realised that he was looking right at my box of breastpads on the shelf above him and trying to engage with the photograph of the baby.

    We went to visit her aunt, who was suffering from a pounding hangover. My two year old started practicing hooting noises into the spout of the watering can, seeing how loud she could get, so I told her that aunties head was sore and she needed to be quiet, maybe she could play jigsaw instead (although that isn't much quieter with the yelps of "I did it!" and clapping for every piece)

    Very serious face on, she went and got a blanket and teddy, makes her lie down on it (both hands on her face, pushes her head down onto it), shushes me and pulls me out of the room. Toddles off again and brings in her beaker of water for her. One more trip, gets her cousins toy stethosccope and thermometer and starts poking her with them, trying to get the thermometer into her ear, and the stethoscope down her top. I was laughing away, but I had to take her out of there at that point, before poor auntie got any more 'care'.

    Every morning when my OH is leaving to drop our 11.5 month old to her nannies. I give her and then him a kiss good bye. Her latest thing is once she gets her kiss she pushes her daddy's cheek over so I give him a kiss. And now when we laugh at her she laughs as well.

    After watching hotel Transylvania my five year old son is obsessed and convinced he is a vampire. He has taken to calling himself vampire John (John is not is name). When in the car the other day he asked me did I know when he was born that he was a vampire. I said no. To which he replied Well you sure had the wrong baby kiddo!!!!!!

    My 5yo son this morning was asking about the big funeral on TV, and I was explaining what a Prime Minister was (or thought I was).... when up he pops;
    "Daddy, I have an important question"

    "Yes son ? " (Expecting something profound)

    "Do the drain monsters eat all the poo ??"

    What do you say to that ! :-)

    14 month old had a tough day - only had 1&1/2 hr nap at lunchtime instead of the normal 2 cos the dog woke her up, then she was busy trying to figure out how to walk for the afternoon...by dinner time it was all a bit much - she had 4 bites, I looked down to get another spoonful and when looked up she was sound asleep! :)
    Ten min power nap and back to the dinner - tis tough being one!

    There's an ad on the tv lately for one of the financial institutions about what people are saving up for, and my 8 year old son very seriously replies to the tv: "my first car".
    My god, talk about planning for your future!

    Reading 3 little pigs to my 3 yr old son and 17 month old daughter...She waddles to the window, looks out and says "No wolf"

    We were in Tayto Park last weekend. So our 3 year old's favourite story, Jack & The Beanstalk, now has to be told as Mr Tayto and the Beanstalk. He insists I call the mother "Mammy Potato" and the old stranger "Old Potato"

    Did it have little white mice as passengers?

    :P

    My 3 year old was hiding out under our bed this morning "being a rat". Any time I looked under he hissed and bore his front teeth. Pretty convincing.

    Then out of the blue when I was brushing my teeth he started whingeing from beneath the bed about how he doesn't want the police to "come into this house."

    There's a joke in there somewhere about rats and the gardai that I can't quite get a hold of.

    :) hes a bit of a mad one,

    He keeps quoting the italian job made in the 60s... every so often he'll say
    'you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off'

    at bedtime, he says 'ain't nobody got time for that'

    he lived in the USA for a few yrs, the kids channel there switched to adult cartoons like family guy or american dad at about 7pm...

    So while on an escalator in a mall in the US, his mother tries to get him up the escalator and he stops dead and shouts at the top of his voice...

    'no, you can suck your own boobies'

    mortified and tv banned after 7pm

    Playing a game where I give the first letter and they have to name a food beginning with that letter.

    Me: G
    Littlest: Giraffe
    Me: It begins with G but we can't eat a giraffe
    Littlest: Yes you can. You cut it up into pieces this size (makes a 30cm diameter circle with hands) and that makes crepes.

    I had a reminder to myself written on my hand. My 2 year old started babbling and pointing when she saw it and went running out of the room. I didn't know what she was up to until she came back with a towel and tried to wipe my hand clean. Very cute.

    My niece was out the back with her grandad when he called in to me to ask the score of the rugby match. I shouted out it's 16-12 to Munster and she starts screaming "Monster! Monster! We have to run away" and started running in circles and running into the bushes!
