I thought of another funny and heartwarming moment. My oldest daughter was about 14 months old, I was big and pregnant with her little sister. So I was sitting in our computer chair rocking her to sleep because it was the most comfortable spot i could find at that point. My daughter laid her head on my belly and her baby sister started kicking her head, and making it bounce. My daughter sat right up, looked at my belly like, "what the hell is that?" and out of nowhere smacked her sister back.

So 22 month old DD is going through a word explosion, repeating everything. We are very careful not to swear or use inappropriate words in front of her but it seems like we can't win! She's trying to say "sock" and "clock" and they both come out sounding exactly like "c*ck" lol. The other day I made the mistake of pointing out a skunk in a picture book. Wouldn't you know it, she was running around the house chanting "skunk skunk" for ten minutes.... Except that it sounded exactly like "c*nt". I just about fell over laughing. So glad MIL wasn't visiting at the time lol

What a great idea for a thread! I certainly do get fed up some days, but more often than not DS and I have wonderful days and I am so, so glad I get to be home with him and see all the funny stuff he does.

 

So, today he helped/watched me make some beeswax wood polish for a new set of toys I made for him - he had a blast using a spatula and stirring imaginary ingredients in dishes I wasn't using.  He's been working on putting on one of Daddy's sweaters all morning, and every time he walks past the front door he says "Daddy! Bye-bye Daddy!" He's 15 months, so this talking thing is still pretty new for us. It's so much fun!

Just saw this thread and read through it!  Here's one...

 

My DS's third birthday was the beginning of March, and he was telling folks that he was two and a half up until the day before he turned three.  When someone would ask him when he turned three, or when his birthday was he'd shrug and say, "In a minute."

 

And here's one of those where I wish he hadn't have heard us say this word...

 

My DH took DS grocery shopping and then ran by the liquor store to get a six pack.  I guess there was quite a long line, everyone standing there with their purchases... Suddenly DS blurts out (I think he was just over two at the time) "Papa!  Everyone here has BOOZE!  Look!"  It was the truth, everyone was buying alcohol.  But still it made all of the people in line turn a little red.  DH said he had a hard time not cracking up.

I haven't posted under this name in forever, I recently started posting under another name for some privacy issues, but I really felt compelled to post about my son on this thread.  I LOVE reading all the cute stories from others!  I'm not a 100% stay at home mom, I sub parttime in the school system.  Normally I love subbing but today I had a really rough class and I wasn't at my kids' local school.  I had never subbed at this school before.  I even needed another teacher to come into the class and help me.  It was my first time having such a rough day during subbing.  So when the kids were at lunch I opted to sit in the nice quiet classroom and breathe rather than mingle in the teacher's lounge.  I was feeling pretty down and I checked my phone and there was a message from a missed call on my home phone this morning.  I had to leave earlier than my kids so I got nervous when I saw the missed call, thinking they had missed the bus or something had happened.  But no...

 

it was my 11 year old son calling to say that he noticed I had left my mints I had just bought on the kitchen counter and if I could let him know what classroom I was subbing in, he would bring them in for me.  It was SUCH a sweet gesture, and since the class I was in was roughly the same age as my son and I was having such a rotten time with them, my son's message totally made my day!  When I got home I gave him a HUGE hug.  My kids totally make my day.  joy.gif

Thanks!  We do have a really good relationship and he's also really great with his two younger sisters.  Another sweet story, the other day we were touring the Magic Hat brewery on our way home from vacation.  The tour was a bit boring for little ones and my 8 year old daughter got a bit restless.  Without any prompting, my son leaned against the wall and put his arms around his sister and said "Here, sit on my lap" and he crouched a bit so she would be more comfortable.  It was so sweet and unexpected!  For the record, he has had moments of flopping and whining and going "Geeze, mom, this is sooo boring.  Is it almost over yet?"  I don't want to make him sound too perfect.  heehee.. I love watching him get older, though.
