Did ye ever get the feeling that your child was about before. my youngest 4 year old girl is coming out with some weird stuff. I know she watches utube and stuff but somethings she comes out with scares the life out of me. Just talking about family members that has passed on and never met. Just weird stuff she comes out with.

This is the 'that made you smile' thread Jack. The 'made you shiver' thread is that way

Putting my almost 4 year old to bed the other night, tucked her in and sat at the side of the bed continuing the story we've been reading. About 30 seconds or so in and she pipes up:

'We didn't get a hug or a kiss'. Cue a hug and seven kisses.
She asks 'How many kisses was that?'
I say seven and she says 'seven'.
I say 'it was lovely' and she says 'you're very welcome tata'.

I'm loving the manners at the moment. Lots of please and thank you, which just seems to have started from nowhere.

This is in 2 parts, as I don't know how to upload more than 1 photo per post.

Kids sent a post card to the Aras, coloured a picture on it.

Our boy is going through a bit of a fussy stage with eating his dinner. Oddly breakfast and lunch no problems, dinner is just a bit dragged out. I guess he is a bit tired and distracted, and just cant really sit still long enough!

Anyway we watched "Waffles and Mochi" on Netflix over the last few weeks and suddenly he's all super inquisitive about food and has been open to trying some more things. My wife found a kid set of chopsticks online, where the top is joined together and he loves them!! Hilarious to see him clear his plate with this new game

Me to son (7): I love you soooooo much!

Son: Thanks

He cracks me up

Toilet training the youngest (2 and 11 months, the only boy).He has just discovered that he farts.His reaction to it is hysterical laughter.How he knows to do that already, at age 2, is beyond me.The girls never paid any attention to themselves when they did them!I don't know whether to laugh at him or roll my eyes :-)

My son is 4 and still thinks his farts are hilarious, definitely a boy thing!

Watched the 1998 Godzilla with our son last night.
Godzilla sees his dead lizard babies; gets weepie.
First set of missiles hits Godzilla on the bridge; tears flowing big time.
Second set of missiles hit and Godzilla's eyes close; bawling his eyes out and gulping for air.
He's 11.

Husband has a nickname and 5yr old only found this out recently. He is obsessed with having his own nickname now. We were in the car yesterday and he says
Him: "Mammy i thought of a great nickname for me."
Me: "Right ok go on."
Him: ..... David.

Sitting in the kitchen this morning and 2.5 year old was looking out the window and remarked that she could see a blackbird.

4 year old pipes up "thats a blackbird like the blackbird singing in the dead of night"

:pac:

Kintarō Hattori · 04-05-2021 12:23PM

I was sitting beside my almost 4 year old this morning at the breakfast table. She was eating some cereal while I read a dinosaur book to her. She had been 'shifting about' which is usually a sign that the loo is needed however she declined to use the potty, saying she would when it was needed.
Cue an enormous fart and the little sweetheart jumped out of her seat- her own fart had frightened her. She told me afterwards it was 'loud & bumpy'.

Foweva Awone · 04-05-2021 08:58PM

So I thought my wee boy said to me, "Did you ever see a real penis?" I said, "Well I've seen your one I guess..." He was like, "What? I don't have one!"

Turns out he said "phoenix".

And that's how my parenting is going today!

beertons · 04-05-2021 09:50PM

Not mine, but a neighbours 4 year old was @Kildare National Stud a few days ago. Loads of foals there. Over in the packed playground, dude says rather loudly to his parents, did you see the size of that foals penis.

Sounds like your nailing the parenting thing there, wait 'til 3 little birds land at her window :cool:

On the trip to nursery this morning my son (3.5) asked me "do you want to be a millionaire daddy?"

"What's a millionaire?"

"Its when you have money but a million-hairs, so you wouldnt be bald any more, you could have hair like me

"

"Thanks buddy, I think I am happy that you are the million-hair and I just have my shiny head"

Kintarō Hattori · 13-05-2021 09:44AM

Collected her from PlaySchool yesterday and on the way to the playground I asked:

'So what did you do in Playschool today?'.

Cue 'I played, it's called PlaySchool Tata'.

Can't argue with that.

shesty · 13-05-2021 11:37AM

Me - "Let's go to bed!"
(Now) 3 year old boy heads off up the stairs singing "willy willy penis, willy willy penis"

This is getting real old, real fast.....

Going through a major spell of that with 3.5 year old at moment. Everything is poopy and toilets etc etc.....its just a phase, right?:P

It's forever.
I shït you not.

shesty · 18-05-2021 03:35PM

My eldest left that phase at about 4.5 after doing it to death.
She happily re-entered it around age 5.5 when the second girl entered that phase.
My third is a boy.
The phase is now never-ending. I have lost all tolerance for sitting at the dinner table and hearing "fart", "poo", "butt", being used repeatedly in every sentence, and in relation to every single thing that they are discussing.

It gets better, I swear.

:D

Kintarō Hattori · 18-05-2021 03:52PM

I don't know what to think now, my little one will be four in two weeks time and we haven't come to that phase yet. Do any pass it by

It will eventually pass.
Like a 5 day old lump of ....

shesty · 18-05-2021 06:05PM

Girls usually aren't so obsessed with it, I think my pair are outliers. (How lucky am I...).
She isn't 4 yet though...give her time...!

dubstarr · 31-05-2021 01:52PM

Haha no.In fact it gets worse.
Wait till they are about 12 or 13 and they just spend the day with their hands down their jocks.:D

shesty · 31-05-2021 09:20PM

Having that conversation too.....
Are they afraid it will fall off or something !

Listrydude · 01-06-2021 10:19AM

It's ok mines 16 and I still get them. And it means just as much

Kintarō Hattori · 03-06-2021 12:13PM

I was lying down with her on the big bed a few nights ago before bedtime. We often go in there and play before going to the toilet to brush teeth, wash hands etc and then into her own bed.
Lying down, face to face I asked did she have a nice birthday (Sunday gone). She replied that she did. I asked 'What was the best bit.... or maybe it was all good?' She told me the best bit was the people that came and the cake.

We only had two couples and one other child around so it was a very small party but it hit me in the feels. No mention of presents. It was the company she appreciated and of course, cake.

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