Stories!

[deletedit]

DD#2 has just started telling stories.

My favourite was when we were all on the couch, and I noticed there were two dummies on the floor and told her to put them back in the bouncy-bounce (bouncinette) and she refused and had a meltdown so I got DD#1 to do it instead.

Later she tells me "Once upon a time mummy and cassie and feo (Theo) on the couch and dummies on the floor and the end!"
I especially like how she cut it short just before HER part came into it

We've also had her story of how the day passes: "Morning morning morning dark dark dark the end!"

And this long saga: "Once upon a time I went to the doctor the end!"

Priceless. Anyone else got a toddler in this phase?

Too cute, she'll be writing novels in no time!

That's gorgeous!

My son recites books so the closest he gets are from his In The Night Garden books "Once upon a... night garr-da"

I like stories that get straight to the point!

My DS loves to sing me stories. They are never ending though. I just love hearing his creativity!

They are such clever little things aren't they.

DD and I have a ritual at bedtime, called 'magic stories' - she tells me what she wants me to say - it usually involves Dora and Diego, ie, "Dora and Diego go shopping with their mummy and then they get separated, so they find a policeman and he calls out on a loud speaker and then Dora's Mummy finds them", and then I have to repeat it back to her with embellishments...it is hillarious!

That is gold and made me smile! Love threads like this.

BooBoo- I love that idea of magic stories! They sound so funny!
