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

ASVM · 06-01-2011 3:01am

my baby finger fed herself little bits of food and wailed for more when they were all gone it was so cute i couldn't help smiling!

Yawns · 06-01-2011 3:05am

My 2 and a half year old follow his mammy around the supermarket saying cookoo whilst twirling his finger at his temple after I showed him too. It was pretty funny

RedXIV · 06-01-2011 11:59am

Had every intention of being a grouch this morning when I was woken up. Don't like mornings, have to go back to work, leave warm bed....

But when I opened my eyes, my 5 month old was there lying beside me waiting for me to wake up and then grinned at me.

I'm such a softie

My brother is called David and when he started school he came home upset and said the teacher said he was dirty, what actually happened is that the teacher called out the roll in irish and called him Daithi not dirty.

Funny what they hear! Daughter at 3yo also had a funny one, though her best friend's surname was "don't know who" (donohoe)!

cynder · 07-01-2011 4:22pm

My 4 year old told me for the first time that he loved me.

metrovelvet · 07-01-2011 4:33pm

I had to go to the doctor yesterday. My three year old said 'I;ll come and mind you in the doctor's mommy. He'll take your germs away.'

It made up for telling me I have ears like Bob the Builder.

LegacyUser · 08-01-2011 2:18am

Was having a tough day and felt at my lowest point. When I burnt my hand on the cooker I burst into tears. My 2 yr old ran to his room, grabbed his pj bottoms and wiped the tears from my face with them. Hugs, giggles and tears all round.

He is such a lovable wee boy.

stovelid · 09-01-2011 11:23am

Caught him pretending to feed his dinner to his teddy and nagging him for not eating it: a perfect imitation of me or his mum usually nagging (stern voice and finger wag included) him about finishing his dinner.

Irish_Elect_Eng · 10-01-2011 2:12am

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.

stovelid · 12-01-2011 1:44pm

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.

Moonbeam · 12-01-2011 3:23pm

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 · 12-01-2011 8:14pm

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!

metrovelvet · 12-01-2011 8:34pm

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.

cassid · 12-01-2011 11:59pm

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.

XxXciaraxXx · 13-01-2011 10:33pm

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!

deisemum · 15-01-2011 12:31am

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

lynski · 15-01-2011 1:23am

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 · 15-01-2011 1:28am

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

Mothman · 22-03-2011 11:38pm

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.

CrazyRabbit · 23-03-2011 3:42am

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 · 23-03-2011 9:41am

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.

ktod · 23-03-2011 12:20pm

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 · 23-03-2011 4:09pm

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 · 24-03-2011 12:10am

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.

nc6000 · 24-03-2011 9:10pm

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 · 25-03-2011 12:06am

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 · 25-03-2011 1:07pm

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!!!

cassid · 26-03-2011 11:34pm

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.

si_guru · 26-03-2011 11:44pm

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.. ????

Ickle Magoo · 27-03-2011 12:38am

Scored two goals despite being the youngest and smallest at his footie club!

deisemum · 27-03-2011 9:23pm

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.

lynski · 28-03-2011 6:07pm

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

Lady Chatterton · 29-03-2011 5:01pm

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

Came home today to see my 5yr old cycle a bike on her own

nc6000 · 04-04-2011 12:17am

Having a coffee while waiting for a flight with my 4 year old. The guy beside us was using an iPad. She says "Dad, look at the size of his phone!" lol

pickarooney · 04-04-2011 5:05pm

My daughter said her first English word. "Shoes"

I ain't sayin' nuttin'.

Mothman · 05-04-2011 10:59am

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!

Moonbeam · 05-04-2011 5:28pm

Mammy,what colour is my jumper?
"navy"
She decided to tell everyone that her jumper was gravy:)

cynder · 06-04-2011 9:41am

I walked into the living room to find my 2 boys giggling behind the curtains, i open the curtains to find the little guy butt naked standing on the window sill for all the neighbours to see. any way they had managed to open the window, i put my little guy on the floor and reach to close the window spotting a puddle of foam on the ground outside.

Yep he opened the window and made a whizz outside, not a very happy mommy, if any neighbours saw that what would they be thinking?

littlebug · 06-04-2011 10:15am

Checking in on my feverish and chickenpox ridden 6 year old last night I went into the room and a very sleepy voice said
"I thought I heard music"
Me: "yes, Daddy's playing music downstairs".
Then, WIDE awake and very matter of fact..,.
"I also heard a HUGE bunch of fleas coming"

Me: " What does a bunch of fleas sound like".
"It's hard to explain"
Me: "I've never heard a bunch of fleas before".
"that's because a bunch of fleas coming to attack you doesn't really exist"
Me: "how did you hear them then"
"Oh I was just hearing things"

:D I love the silliness. He then proceeded to laugh his silly little head off as I slathered him in lotion.

paperclip2 · 06-04-2011 10:19am

According to my four year old its the Dark Side of the Force that making him do naughty things lately. :eek:

pickarooney · 06-04-2011 5:05pm

My son has developed a pathological hatred of Australians going back to some off-the-cuff remark I made 6 months ago about really bold people being sent to prison or worse, Australia. He told me this mental story about building a big house in the forest and having an army of swans who would fly about and spit fire down on the Aussies.

Kalimah · 07-04-2011 3:31pm

My seven year old was watching TV last night and some ad came on featuring a very attractive woman with short hair whereupon my daughter says "God ,woman-get some hair!
I should point out she's a complete tomboy.

paperclip2 · 07-04-2011 5:00pm

Was reminded of this one. A couple of months ago I was getting dressed after a shower when my little lad of four walked in. He looks at me for a minute and then said,
"Mammy, you're very beautiful"
"Awwh, thanks love"
"Yeah, but you're more beautifuler with your clothes on" he replies.
Unvarnished honesty, theres nothing like it.

angeldaisy · 08-04-2011 12:05pm

my 5yr old asked me last night if he could say a prayer to my belly, okaaay I said, and he proceeded to pray for a baby in my belly for tomorrow please. tried to explain that they don't quite happen that quickly whilst trying not to laugh - if only things were that simple:D

Jenos · 09-04-2011 10:23pm

my 2 yr old son sang "twinkle twinkle little star from start to finish"..... brilliant

keith gallagher · 09-04-2011 10:46pm

My 4 year old daughter in the Credit Union today with her book and €45. The way she said "I'd like to put €45 in my account please". She said it so low I don't know how the clerk heard her.

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