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

I did that poem in school - always loved it.

Found my 2 boys yesterday morning. The older one had removed the nappy of the younger one (not training yet) and brought the potty into our ensuite and had him sitting down doing a wee. He told his brother he was a 'great little fella'. He was 4 in dec and it was really cute.

"Mary, Mary, Fat Controller, how does your garden grow" got a good laugh out of me.
Then I handed him something later and the said 'fanks' and then corrected himself. It took a great effort but he managed a perfect "thank you" and was sooo proud when I recognised his achievement. Bless.

Amen to the Subh Milis poem. I thought I had forgotten it from school, then it came back to me a few months ago and it just really takes on a meaning now. I'm not sure exactly how to write it (and can't recall the ASCII codes for the fadas)

Bhi subh milis
Ar bhascrann an doras
Ach mhuch me an corrai
ionam a d'eirigh
Nuair a smaoinigh me ar an la
A bheas an bhascrann glan
Agus an lamh beag
Ar Iarriadh

if you have you keyboard set right you get a áéíóú by holding down Alt Gr.

pickarooney · 05-03-2010 4:09pm

You wouldn't believe the mad symbols this (French) keyboard comes up with when I try anything like that

Daughter, 23 months, at lunchtime stroked her Dad on the arm and said "you're a good man":D. He really is.

Then later (she is not toilet-trained) she came up to me and said "Mammy I want to go to the toilet now"... so we went and sat on the big toilet cos we haven't even bought a potty yet. I was terrified she'd fall in but she just held on for dear life. She piddled, farted and announced "no, no poo. All done". I AM STUNNED! She performed like an old-timer!! I love this "baby-led" thing!:D:D:D

My little boy who is 20 months old was sitting on my knee the other day while I was chatting to my husband. We were laughing at the fact that my mother told Alex the other day that the oven was "burney" because we don't use that word we say Hot!! anyway when Alex heard me say the word burney he immeditaly started to sing Barney!!!!! Classic

blond45 · 07-04-2010 10:02pm

we were in smiths today, my two boys and i, so we were looking around to see what they wanted cos they had gift cards , of went my 12yr old to pay for his ps3 game , 6yr old went up after him just to annoy him. he came back and he said is my brother here (12yr) i was wondering why it took so long to pay, he had come back mad cos 6yr had told him that i was upstairs. so up he went to look for me and in the mean time 6yr old was laughing his head of with me down stairs cos he tricked older brother. its nearly always older lad gets one on the younger. if you knew my boys like me you.d be still smilling yet.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

pinc · 09-04-2010 10:24pm

Not today but..I took my then 4yr old to watch his cousin play a rugby match.
He later described the huddle as 'going in for a cuddle'...

Also when he was younger he used to sing 'round n round the garden like a teddy bear 1 step..2 step... tickly underwear'!

Michellenman · 09-04-2010 11:36pm

My cousin is hilarious, too many moments to mention but one thing he does that is gas is he measures how tall he is by how far he is from his feet!

Him: Look how tall I am, sure my feet are all the way down there!

He was only 3 at the time!

Quality · 19-04-2010 3:52pm

My four year old told me that when he grows up he is going to be an ice cream van man...

he made me so proud!!

ROFLMAO oh I bet there were a few comments made after that lol

metrovelvet · 19-04-2010 8:02pm

We were at the airport desk today trying to reorganise some flights. My near three year old explained to the ladies behind the desk "The planes cant go because of the volcano. THe people say "OH NOOOO!"

January · 19-04-2010 11:47pm

My 16 month old has recently learned how to climb up onto the foot stool we have in the sitting room but she could never get off it until this morning when she just jumped down! Little dare devil...

She's also so loving toward her little sister, keeps coming over and saying her name and kissing her, rubbing her head and trying to wind her when I'm winding her!

JoeyJJ · 20-04-2010 11:25am

My 15mo daughter said Ready last night and walked to the door, she wanted to be changed for bed and it was just about time for bed.

stovelid · 20-04-2010 12:45pm

Since my wife has been showing on our second child, our 21 month-old has been prodding any tummy he stands near (recent ones: grandmother, creche assistant, etc) and asking, "Baby?".

cbyrd · 20-04-2010 6:52pm

my 7 year old recently had chicken pox and early on i was putting cream on the spots i said 'holy god they're popping out as i speak!'.. her reply..'stop speaking then mammy please'

Nevyn · 20-04-2010 7:15pm

We just had dinner using chopsticks for the first time ever.
It was damn funny, the youngest was really struggling and when she finally managed to get some food up to her mouth first time she dropped it as she was giggling so much and that pretty much set the rest of us off, again.

TargetWidow · 20-04-2010 9:36pm

Our 2year old daughter was prodding me fairly hard in my 29 week belly to see if she could elicit a kick from the baby when I was trying to explain to her that she needed to be gentle with mammy's tummy because we didn't want to hurt mammy or the baby. I told her that if she was nice to the baby it might decide to bring her a present when it comes out and that she should tell the baby what she might like (thinking, doll, teddy... usual stuff... ) Unfortunately her daddy had given her a look through the home and garden section of an argos catalog to amuse her earlier in the day without my knowledge. So she leans in to my belly, lifts up my top and whispers "Can I have a treehouse please little baby?" :eek::D

angeldaisy · 20-04-2010 9:54pm

middle of the night last night, my ds 5yrs half woke to go to the bathroom, after steering him back from trying to wee in the cupboard:eek:, got him in bathroom and then back to bed, where he turned to me, gave me the most beautiful smile and said love you mammy..then passed out sound asleep. they're great when they're asleep:D

Jumbo156 · 21-04-2010 10:53am

I heard my 4 year old talking in his room last night. When I went in he was talking to his teddys. When I asked what was going on he says as straight as you like " The white teddy is on time out for giving me cheek and killing hippo (another soft toy) stone dead".
You have to laugh!

Jumbo156 · 22-04-2010 10:55am

The same 4 year old:
When driving to the creche this morning, I pulled in to let a garda car with it's siren going pass me. When we got to the creche, the conversation goes:
4 year old: " That was a close one dad"
Me: "What was"
4 year Old : "I thought the Police were going to arrest you and they probably should have dad"
Me: " Why"
4 Year Old "Because when they passed I opened my seat belt and it's your job to make sure it's closed at all times, it's really not good dad!"

I could have killed him for opening his seat belt, but I had to keep in the smiles also.

bohsboy · 27-04-2010 2:30pm

The young fella (3) was unfortunately hospitalised with tonsilitis a fortnight ago.

He had to get a drip put in and after a marathon battle of blood squirting, struggling, screaming and numerous failed attempts they decided to take a blood sample. While being almost held down he screamed "Why are they doing this?? Ive no blood left in my arms?!".

Made me smile at a traumatic time.

Grudle · 27-04-2010 3:47pm

Watching the Chelsea v Tottenham match with my 16 month old.

When John Terry got sent off he started waving "Bye-bye".

So proud!

deisemum · 27-04-2010 6:09pm

I had an almost 3 year old mindee with me this afternoon and she was going around singing "down ManU down ManU flush them down the stinky loo"

She said her mum told her that lol.

Das Kitty · 27-04-2010 8:20pm

James figured out that if he pulls the toggle beneath the lion on his bouncer that it will play music, all day I hear the song start followed by massive giggles. Sick of that song already, thank god you can take the toy bar off the thing!

Quality · 27-04-2010 8:41pm

My 4 year old has decided he doesn't like his name.
He wants to change it...... To knuckles!

So I have to call him knuckles, we were out on friday night and a ladyasked his name and he told her proudly "knuckles"

Das Kitty · 12-12-2010 9:00pm

The small man is here tapping his fingers on the coffee table in perfect time to the music :eek: he's only 10 months. I don't know where he gets it from neither his Daddy nor I have any rhythm!

we'llallhavetea_old · 13-12-2010 10:48am

yesterday, myself and my daughter were singing christmas songs together

ME: "well it doesn't show signs of stoppin"

RACHEL: "and i got me some porn for cocking"

swear to god myself and my mam nearly got sick with the laughing!

paperclip2 · 13-12-2010 2:49pm

Yesterday my four year old plonked down on the sofa, switched on his toy stereo, listened for a bit, then said 'This takes me back.'
I asked him what he meant and his reply was' You know Mammy, to when I was young!'

Kimono-Girl · 13-12-2010 3:45pm

She climbed up on the couch next to me....grabbed my face and gave me a kiss on the cheek, then she put her head on my lap and closed her eyes for her nap

Moonbeam · 13-12-2010 11:22pm

A friend was saying good bye to us and said to her look after your mammy so she put her arms around me and said I look after you:) she is 23 months old.

rylie · 15-12-2010 1:41pm

Driving home from creche yesterday, baby rylie was in a particurlarly chatty mood. Conversation went something like this-

baby rylie: mammy?
me: yes love
baby rylie: car
me: yep, there's a car over there
baby rylie: mammy?
me: yes
baby rylie: light
me: yes the christmas lights are lovely
baby rylie: mammy?
me: yes
baby rylie: bus
me: yep there's a bus

This went on another while as he pointed out pretty much everything he knew the word of. Eventually....

baby rylie: mammy?
me: yes love
baby rylie: .....hiya mammy

Awwww he's too cute!!!

BengaLover · 15-12-2010 1:43pm

lynski · 15-12-2010 3:34pm

4 yr old is flattened on the couch after his first morning in pre-school in a wk, so the 2 yr old little sis just brought him his teddy. ahh
they look after each other all the time - she will never take a cookie or a sweet without taking one for him and he makes sure to include her is his little games.

Moonbeam · 15-12-2010 4:13pm

my little girl keeps giving me her hand to help me up off chairs,it is so funny:)

Ayla · 16-12-2010 4:17pm

My 15-month old, who is proving to be quite the fussy eater (i.e.: she'll go days w/ barely a bite, and don't even *try* anything with color) has today been sitting on the couch...eating the dog's dry food.

:rolleyes:

Sleepy · 16-12-2010 5:58pm

I got 'Me not a baby' for the first time from my 2 year old daughter this week...

She's just at the point where she's having little conversations with us using sentences, loving it!

bubbaloo · 17-12-2010 11:17am

I woke up this morning to the sound of my 20 month old little boy trying his very best to whistle a song!
When my hubby whistled back, my little boy shouted "yaay yaay" as if he knew it was party time!!!

CK2010 · 18-12-2010 1:06am

my three year old said 'mam you're so cool, cooler than cheryl cole!'

i dont know where she gets it from!

we'llallhavetea_old · 18-12-2010 1:18am

santy came to my six year olds school today, they all got a wee polaroid photo to bring home, the conversation went like this;

ME: oh wow! santy came, was it brilliant?
RACH: well he wasn't the real santy mammy..
ME: how do you know?
RACH: well, he didn't have the voice for it. and his belly didn't wobble like a bowlful of jelly.
ME: oh.. right.. well, he must have been one of santys helpers then.
RACH: nah, he was just some man in a suit.

babs.jones · 29-12-2010 2:34am

On Christmas day my 6 yo gave us an amazing card that he wrote by him self he also put a tenner in it. He also turned to his daddy during dinner and said " your not just any daddy, your my best friend" I had to leave the table because of the tears. He is really a sweetheart.

axel rose · 02-01-2011 2:03am

Was planning to start potty training my two and a half yr old this week.

Three days ago he ripped off his nappy and peed (standing up

) into his potty and showed me his trick. 3 days later I have a wee boy who poops and pees in the potty, pushes me out of the bathroom for 'privacy' -AND empties the potty into the toilet. (I must show him where the Milton is).

Typical proud mammy here thinks I have me a child genius

:).

lonestargirl · 02-01-2011 4:28am

smelltheglove · 06-01-2011 2:03am

My girls are so cute and loving, constantly saying how much they love you, last night i was sitting with the laptop doing some work, my 8 yr old was on my hubbies laptop signed into his facebook to chat to her uncle and up pops a chat window from her saying mammy I LOVE YOU so much xxxxxx mwah, I thought it was so cute. Then today just as I finished doing my hair and makeup I came down and the 4 yr old says ooooh mammy you look pretty, I said you look pretty too and she said but mammy you look the prettiest in the whole wide world. I love my babies.

we'llallhavetea_old · 06-01-2011 2:49am
