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

Was on the Luas with him and he starts singing the ABC song, skips half of it and finishes it off at the end. I think the last bit is his favourite, because he kept repeating it.

The baby smiled for the first time today. Not like an involuntary wind release face contortion but a big gummy intentional smile. Awesome

Zed or Zee? Junior likes youtube alphabet songs that inevitably use zee. I always correct him but he still uses zee about 50% of the time because he thinks my reaction is funny.

He does it with Zee. But changing it to Zed messes up the rhyme, as he tends to skip a line and goes straight into asking to "join with me."

Ah sure he's still young yet.

My four year old niece was play making Christmas dinner for me. She said "it's ready" and I asked her what we were having and she said "sausages" so I told her that you can't have just that for Christmas dinner and she said "ok, brussel sprouts, kangaroo, horse, whale And sausages"! Yum :-s

2 year old son in buggy spontaneously out of nowhere shot out his first poem.

"Cars go on the road
People go on the path
People on the road
Cars make them flat".

Couple of weeks ago when I had a bad cold I did the whole towel over the head over a bowl of steamy water with Vicks. My partner and I jokingly once or twice called this "boiling my head" in passing amongst ourselves.

Which he obviously must have over head because he was in the middle of something last week and I was distracting him and he out of nowhere turned around and went "Daddy...... just go boil your head!"

The Mrs walked into the dining room and let go a demure and feminine emission of a flatulent nature (;)).

The 2 yo wee girl said "Mammy, you need to poo!" and led her upstairs to the bathroom!

Meanwhile I was having convulsions of laughter in the kitchen....

Decided to fire up the old xbox for the kids...
At the end I used voice commands to shut it down ...

6yr old asks 'daddy can that understand you?'
'Yes' I say, feeling all cool and masterfull..

'Haha, that's the only thing that listens to you in this house' she says.

'I know... I know..' says I like a deflated balloon.

'It's yeer bed time now isn't it?' .... thinking of drowning my self-pity with a few drinks when they've gone to sleep.

' can we watch youtube for a few minutes first?' The youngest asks...

'Sure' I say ... 'I'll be in the kitchen cleaning up'....
.
.
. Sneaky beer by the cooker....

I've been owned by a 6yr old and younger siblings.

Looking forward to retirement.

Kind of made me smile. There's humour in truth.

Gotta love the 2 year old who has recently totally refused the high chair in favour of sitting at the table and last two mornings has refused his spoon for brekkie because it's plastic. Has to have "grown up" metal spoon - asserting himself early on isn't he ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

I brought my boys to the toy store today. They got money for Christmas and wanted to buy themselves stuff.

Picked out their stuff and headed to the counter to pay. 4 yo went and paid no probs. My 7 yo was paying and I said I would carry his toys out so he could join his brother playing to which I was told "no I can do it".

The woman behind the counter smiled and commented on his independence to which he looked at her, shrugged his shoulders, sighed and said "ah sure you know what kids are like!"

The woman just burst out laughing. It's so typical him. He just smiled and moved on.

Half pint has been talking about having his friend round after school on Friday for the past few days. Himself and the other guy have it all arranged. I asked if his parents knew, he Daisie was all under control. Mrs B was texting that guys mam areir, and she said she's been hearing the same story. They sit beside each other on the bus, pal around in after school when my guy goes. So we arranged for a play date for Saturday. Half pint jumped for joy when he heard it was all going ahead. Announces on the walk to the bus this morning that he wants to make a cake for Saturday aswell.

Could you imagine the pandemonium on Friday if we had done nothing about it, and the 2 lads decide to skip after-school, and head back to our house. The creche and guards could be on the door to us. Eeek.

6 Year old announced to me in the car this morning that he's tired of the cold and he's bringing me and Daddy on a holiday with his Credit Union money.

Brought a tear to my eye he's the sweetest, kindest little boy I've ever met.

Time to book a holiday I think. (with our money of course) :P

Was ordering a funeral wreath fir my friends Dad yesterday. I rang funeral home first and they gave me a number of the florist they work with as I didn't want a fake flower wreath.
My daughter asked when I was finished why I needed to ring the second number. I said that the first guy didn't sell fresh flowers so he told me who to ask. She thought about it and said 'but why would he only sell wilted flowers?'

I then explained about real vs fake flower wreaths.

My almost two year old was getting her clothes changed and while she had no vest on I gave her back a little scratch - she loved it, leaning into me with a big contented smile on her face and every time I stopped "more back mammy" - so cute

My three-year-old son and I were standing beside a big dinosaur display in a toyshop, when suddenly it started moving and the TRex gave a big roar. Poor boy usually wouldn't be fazed by that sort of thing, in fact he'd usually love it, but it really caught him off-guard and he burst into tears and jumped up on me.

I was comforting him, telling him, "Its OK, you just got a fright because you weren't expecting it" etc. Then all day he kept randomly bringing it up, "Mammy I not 'spectin' dat BOLD dine-sore, NOT 'spectin' it" ... So cute!

My three yr old, on day 6 of potty training, spotted me coming out of the bathroom, let out a huge "hurray!" and congratulated me for using the big boy toilet. I guess I deserve a biccie now

Was congratulating junior on having a 'great big poo' in the potty and he says 'No Daddy, that is a middle sized poo'.

I just got a new laptop and was turning it on earlier, my son turns to me, all affronted, pointing at the screen, "There's no me there." He's far too used to me and all my family using photos of him as our screensavers on our laptops and phones!

Asked my 9 year old daughter was she ready for some apple tart and custard.

"I was born ready."

Cracks me up...

Our 10 year old asked "why does Dermot Bannon put the same kitchen in every house?"
