I was making cranberry infused vodka for christmas hampers and my 7 y/o asked what I was making. I said "Cranberry vodka", he said "noh, i'm ok". I don't believe I was offering...

One of the Orionettes got glasses yesterday. She is constantly wearing them - proud as punch. Sitting watching TV earlier she kept lifting them up and back down to compare vision.

She looks as cute as a button in them too

January

Can we get her over to teach my three year old a lesson in wearing glasses? We're going to order her new ones today...

We have the same problem!

We asked the creche what they do and they give the drinks after the dinner. Seems to work.

My little guy has a new thing he does, if something amuses him he'll laugh then say "ahhh! Funnen!"

Same age as your fella.

two boys - 3 years old (4 in 2 weeks) and 1 (2 in Feb)....
read them Christmas story at bedtime last night. I obviously need practice, was dragged out of bed at 5 this morning to see if Santa came.

After explaining and making breakfast (no getting them back to bed), they proceeded to sit looking out the window wide-eyed for the binman to come, as they are never up when bins get emptied.

He must of got a shock about 7 when 2 kids started banging on the window and screaming out at him....

the excitement for them, so happy, who need Santa when you have a binman

Absentmindedly singing Jessie J's Pricetag. (Stupid monopoly ad has it stuck in my head!!) And the little lady (20 months) keeps proudly grinning at me and singing "Money money money!" Over and over :rolleyes:

My 1 year old strutting around the sitting room wearing two rolls of sellotape as bracelets

Cillian (5) has decided he's starting a band, its called 'Metal Wolf' and will play, I'm reliably informed, 'rough music'.:eek:
He's already decided on his look; black jeans, chain necklaces, headband and a sleeveless jacket over a bare chest.
I couldn't find the camera quick enough to get a pic before he got embarrassed

Please Kill Me

I was working out in the little lad's room (I use his room when he's in school as we have no room anywhere else) but today he was here and he just watched me, not really saying anything. (He's 5 btw) Anyway, I ran downstairs to get a drink and went back up into the room.....to see him lying on the workout bench, holding a ruler with his two hands, and he was "bench pressing" the ruler, huffing and puffing as he was doing it. :pac: I asked what he was at and he just said "I want to be big like you Dad"

my nephew 2.5 has decided what he is going to be when he grows up ... Santa Claus ;-)

I was informed this morning whilst 'helping' my 6yr old getting dressed for school that he would like a flatscreen HD tv for xmas - wouldn't we all:D
Think he might have been watching a bit too much tv this weekend:o:o

My 2.5 year old yesterday said "like a cuddle?"

Ha ha - my little fella (aged 2) says Santa is coming to the gate with a box - but that's all - he's not allowed into the house!

And yesterday we were in the Toy Shop and he was picking up different trains from the Thomas section - next thing he comes out with: "who's this fella?" I laughed out loud in the shop!

Big Bag of Chips

My shadow (3 year old son!) trying to convince me on his first day in playschool that I had to stay with him because if I didn't, I'd be on my own!!

My 6 year old has decided that too!! "Just to give Santy and the elves a break". He's currently recruiting 'elves' to help make the toys when the time comes!

So innocent!


Edit: It just dawned on me - a few months ago he was deciding what job he wanted when he grew up. And he decided "every job". He would do everybody's job when they are sick or on holidays. So that's obviously where he's coming from giving Santy & the Elves a holiday!!

CrazyRabbit

My (almost 3 year old) niece was over visiting. I rarely get to see her as she lives in Cyprus, but she comes out with some cracking statements.

I gave her a foam frisbee that I picked up from work and demonstrated how to throw it. Immediately, she shouted "Not in the house! Not in the house!"

The day before I gave her one of those splat pig toys, and we told her to 'go gently' with it or it would burst. So she now slowly stands on it instead of jumping on it full force. Still hasn't burst!

FYI...great little toys if you've never seen them and really cheap.

Two and a half old toddler was lying on her bed the other day beside her 7 week old sister having a lovely cuddle. When she was finished and I was lifting the baby I was told be 'be careful with the baby'. She must have heard that phrase a bit recently!

axel rose

Mini rose (3) has a bad case of conjunctivitis and an ear infection. As you can inagine there is A LOT of resistance when it comes to putting his eye ointment on 4 times a day .

Each times there's tears and cajoling until it's done with big celebrations from me. This last time after I put the cream in his eye he shouts out- 'Yea mammy you did it! Well done! Good girl! Now do the other eye.'

My husband was on the phone tonight to our 5 year old daughter wishing her a good nights sleep and mentioned to her that he bought her a small surprise - she thought for a second and responded - how small ? And he said small and she then asked ."how many meters"

cynder

walked in to my 12 year old daughter's room to find her in bed with her 2 little brothers, all wrapped round each other, fast asleep on the single bed...... heart melting moment of family love.
