One day when i was out shopping with DS (he was about 2). He decided to see what is under an oldies dress... just went right up to the poor old dear, lifted her dress up and took a peek.
I was so embarrased :oops:
Luckily she had a sense of humour and just laughed it off.
I took my godson shopping (he was about 2/3) and he was given a balloon on a stick by some promotional stand. As we were walking around he was quite well behaved with the balloon until we were standing behind a couple of little old ladies. He then yells out 'too slow' and started hitting them with the balloon. I was embarressed but it was funny. Luckily the little old ladies found it funny too.
I so need to carry a little notebook to jot the things they say down, Jemma said something gorgeous today and now I can't remember.
I love how Jemma needs to "kisshug" everyone before bed, it is definetly one word to her, being 2 they come up with so many.
I do remember Josh at 5, when I was pg with Jessica, looking through the birth book, seeing the pics of the baby being born and saying "Look Jordan, it comes out of she's bum" and he laughed and laughed, so did I, but then I did explain it to him, didn't want to traumatise him by him thinking I had to pooh the baby out, although that is prob just as bad as the real way.

On April Fools Day my 6 yo DD woke me up yelling "mama you've slept in we're late for school". Well I cursed and jumped out of bad only for her to crack up laughing "April Fool".... it was 6am.
The little darling:)
DS Alex (nearly 2) says "BURP" to anyone who does one!
Being a nurse I figured when the kids asked for body parts names I gave them the real ones, so at about 3 my older 2 would go up to people in the street and say "your a boy, coz you've got a penis" and " your a girl coz you have a 'gina" Well at first I was embarrassed to say the least, but then I thought, well would i be embarrassed if they said, you have ears or legs??? and so I would smile proudly at the often funny looks we recieved
LMOA Vanita, we were stupid with our first, told her no specific name for her vagina and then told her to wipe herself on the toilet and said "Wipe your front bum!" Sounded so dum, so now we too tell the correct names, and Jemma does the same thing ie Mums dog she said Max has a doodle he's a boy!"

My 3yr old who was 2 at the time went into my mum who was changing her top to go walking casually told mum"nice boobies grandma"!, then asked here where here boobie pads were! luckily mum just laughed.
While I was on the phone to Telstra, Marisa had gotten out all sorts of make-up and covered herself from toes to hair in make-up - mostly lipsticks. While it's probably not the biggest mess she's ever made, it was pretty damn messy!!!
Atm Aidyn goes through my kitchen drawers and pulls EVERYTHING out and spreads the untensils all over the house. (of course there's nothing dangerous in there though)
We had a flour incident with Kameron when he was around the age of 2. Took lots of photos.
Love
Okay I thought of one that topped the flour.
Kameron climbed shelves we had in our carport and tipped a pot of wood stain all over his head. The lid came off as it came down. It was so drastic it is still all over the cement to this day and we had to shave Kamerons head. It also but eventually took a few weeks to come off the bath where he touched it when he had to climb in. That would have been a couple of years ago now cause we were staining his tallboy that we got for his 2nd birthday.
Love
A two year old into the milo tin!!!! Got it everywhere...hair...floor....and some actually in the mouth..LOL

Christine got into a bottle of Calomine lotion I had left next to my bed when she was about a year old, and proceeded to anoint herself, the bedlinen, the bedhead and the drawer unit with it! Of course, it dries into a chalky mess, and to this day I have white speckles deep in the grain of the wood in the bedroom furniture that I can't remove!
The other doozy was when Christine and Samantha (at ages 5 & 3)decided it was a nice day for mud pies outside (a kids classic, but one I never thought I'd have to deal with!) They dug a bucketload of soil out of my gardenbed and added water, then painted themselves and the back porch with the resulting muck.
I found them at it after about 20 minutes, I mean I could hear them and they were obviously playing happily so I wasn't watching them fulltime, and when I did all I could do was stand there and laugh. They were so filthy, but so happy I couldn't bring myself to tell them off, so all I said was "next time, wear OLD clothes first!" and went for the camera.
To date, one of my favourite pictures is Samantha, plastered from head to toe in streaks of mud all over her nice top and skirt, grinning impishly at me from a deck plastered over with sculpted dirt.
A mother with a few more years experience than me had made a big impression on me when she said that after a few years, you stopped getting mad about situations that had already happened and looked for the fun in it - I mean, I could have really told the kids off for making such a mess, but what would that have done? This way, we have some gorgeous memories, and all I needed to do was some serious hosing off!

OMG on the paint stain ...
Caitlin was doing normal painting last summer in the back room and I had half an eye on her as she was painting her hands to do hand prints and then painting her feet to do footprints ... fine ... I must not have looked for a few minutes cos she had stripped off and painted herself from hairline to toenail in green paint. She told me she was being a frog.
I took pictures of her and then took her in the front yard and chased her around with the hose to clean her off, she loved that. Paint in every crevice. eek.
Barb.
did you guys know that to get vaseline out of kids hair you need to use orange oil based industrial degreaser.....
need i say more
p.s. remember its times two for twin trouble for me!!!

We have dirt at the end of our concrete and when it rains it's a big mud bath that the boys just itch to get into. Thank god it's outside! I've got them on video getting into it. Very funny.
Inside the house it's a full on throwing stuff around fest. Yesterday while I was in the shower it was both toy boxes emptied, cushions of the couch, the news paper strewn around and ripped up, my bed stripped and when I busted them they were in the act of getting into the tupperware cupboard. Thank goodness it was all stuff that can just be put away.
A new pet!
MUMMY, SNAKE!
OMG I run outside quicksmart to see Mason holding a worm.
LMHO at the two boys almost fighting over who gets to hold the poor worm. Poor wormie.
DH arrived home and convinced Mason to bury it. Angus was digging around trying to retreive the poor thing.
I told DH to mow the lawn 'cos now I am paranoid about a snake.
Lily normally sits/plays on the floor on her doona and there is a 'v' shaped pillow there too for if she falls so she doesnt hit her head on the tiles. I've just now noticed that every time DF goes out Lily will have a huge scream/cry and then lay on the pillow with her whole body, cuddle up to it and sulk then go to sleep. It is so adoreable. I think it may be because DF sits on the floor with her occasionally and she can smell him on it or something. So sweet. :)
My 3 yr old was having a bit of a overtired sook just before and had snot running down his nose from crying. He told me that he had naughty people up his nose pushing the snot out!
I thought that was so funny I just had to share!
Lily had the tissue box and was pulling out the tissues and she put one up to her nose and blew. It was so cute! She did it 2-3 more times. Her snotty nose must be getting to her lol!
This morning Mr Mason got up and before coming to see me changed into his superman suit. Silly me left it on the lounge room floor last night as I was too darn slack to tidy up last night.
Problem was it's creche day today and there is a strict no superhero suit policy and there was NOOOO WAAAY he was taking it off. So he's eating his breakfast and it hit me. Spill his drink over it!
As I was taking away his cereal bowl I "accidently" knocked the cup over and spilt juice all over him and the superman suit (and wall and floor and chair, oh well gotta pay the price for my scheming somehow!).
"Oh no, Mummy you spilled it. Gotta put the superman suit in the washing machine now". And he started stripping off. He even carried it to the laundry and put it in the machine.
He wanted me to wash it then and put it in the dryer so he could wear it again straight away but he started shivering. I had to dress him as he was cold. Then it was time to go and the superman suit was totally forgotten about.
Ooooh Sammi, that was a good one.
I have several tricks I've used...
When Lindsay was little, he wanted flavoured milk all the time and being the good first time Mum that I was, i wouldn't let him have it. So when he would protest at not getting any flavour, I'd get the bottle of topping and pretend to put some in, and then shake it up and give it to him and he didn't even realise it wasn't in there.
I also used to pretend that lids were stuck if they wanted some more juice or cordial or whatever it was at the time. I'd get the bottle and pretend to really strain myself trying to open it and say I just can't get it open and then they would be happy with that and forget about it.
Another one I do now for Paige, is when she doesn't want to get dressed/changed she will just run away and hide behind the lounge, so I either make out I have a lolly in my hand or I just cover my eyes like I'm playing peek-a-boo and it gets her everytime. She just can't resist coming over to me.
Olivia thinks that the Wiggles go to bed at 1pm. After lunch, when she is tired, she will often ask for "Wiggles please" so my answer is "Oooh no darling, Wiggles have all gone to bed to sleep." and she usually then goes "Shhhh, Wiggles asleep" and toddles off to her bedroom for HER sleep!
Or my other trick is to keep an empty box of crackers in the pantry so when she asks for "More biscuits please" I can say "Biscuits all gone" and show her the empty box and then she knows not to bother asking again!!
Long may I be able to con her........
While miss 2 year old learns how to speak, some words are just too cute to not to share, such as:
a Horse is: a Whee because their sound is "weeeeeee" (((high pitched))) - her version of neigh;
a Tiger is: a Rahr because their sound is "raahhhrrr" (((low rumble growl)))
a Cat is: a Cow she's still learning that one.
My 3 year old calls swimming goggles "Boggles" it's so funny when he runs around asking where his boggles are
When Olivia was three our friends had a dog called Elmo..she would say tum here elbow..elbow..tum here
Jo
Zeke calls his swimming goggles "gobbles" and a friend named Angela is called "Angel".
Aidyn calls a duck 'cack cack' (as in quack quack)
T used to call his(my) boobie a bubble and call a bottle a "dopple"
he also calls octupi ( or octopusses) henry after henry the octopus from the wiggles hes actually a really good talker for his age though he did make up a word "gadiga" which meant jewellery or biscuit ... i have never made the connection but it was cute :lol:
Oh yeah... Aidyn calls his bottles 'boggles, or goggles' LOL
After easter last year Angus loved to ask for Co-koss (chocolate). Trev and I still say that one.
Mason didn't talk till he was 2 1/2 so everything was sounds. He knew all of his animal sounds but the cutest was for all insects he'd buzz, including a trail of ants outside which made him go nuts.
My nephew once when asked what he wanted for dinner said a Cue B Bar...? We were all confused & were walking around the house pointing to everything with the fridge open etc & he just kept shaking his head, then he pointed outside & we were all confused til he took us outside & pointed to the Barbecue!!!! ](*,)
Maddison was given a tiny sparkly pom pom from a craft shop & it was her favourite thing, she carried it in her pockets everywhere & it was called Parkle parkle (but really fast)... for sparkle sparkle!!!
I love toddler talk, soooo cute!
Sean had a few cute ones: Flowers were "Fuvvers", Weetbix was Beek-bitz.
The funniest one of all was what a Duck says: "Wa*k- W*nk"! A bit embarrasing at playgroup when singing Old MacDonalds farm! :shock:
LOL, these are all making me laugh. My eldest two are now 7 and 4, and DH and I STILL refer to certain things by what they used to say when they were little.
The best one came from my 7 year old (when he was little). We used to have a hug and kiss goodnight and an eskimo kiss (rub noses). He used to call it a "moki" from eskiMO KIss. We still say "moki".
4 year old had some speech problems and when he was around 2.5 or 3 and we'd get McDonalds, he used to say "We having back door house" - that's how he said McDonalds.
For some reason, Lindsay would call Doug's motorbike a 'yee-yay' :-k and it did stick for quite awhile too. Erin comes out with some absolute gems. Her most memorable was Friar fruck for fire truck. Paige doesn't talk yet, so will be interesting to see what her funny little words will be.
Janae's been pretty good with her talking, I think coz she spent the year between 1yo and 2yo living in a house with 8 adults, but one that has stuck - and I don't know where on earth she got it from - is icy poles are 'snoopys'. I don't know where the heck she picked it up, but everyone seemed to adopt it, including friends of ours. They come round to our house and ask if we have any snoopys!
Oh, and we bought her the 'Barbie of Swan Lake' DVD, and she calls it 'Barbie of One Leg'.

My DD (6 weeks old) has already learnt every way humanely possible to both break out of a wrap, and keep herself awake
My DD (4yo) has an amazing memory and is able to repeat everything said to her work for word - I was just in the shower, heard the phone ringing, jumped out just in time to hear her say - "Mums having a shower so she can shave the jungle thats growing out of her undies, I'm not allowed to disturb her."
My friends son had to write a blurb at Kinder for Mothers day and it went like this: My mum likes to drink Champagne for morning tea! You've got to love them!
That is hilarious and reminds me of DD 3 years ago. My then boyfriend (now DH) just moved in, and Tilly went to pre school and told the teachers "my mums NEW boyfriend (as though I had many) does poo on the toilet seat and makes me clean it up" !!! HOLY MOLY< Ive never been so embarrassed in my whole life. Lucky they worked with kids and knew the stories they spin!! I assume it was DD trying to work out how Dh fitted in the family, and maybe a little attention seeking!! Pretty gifted! xo
