What grown-up thing has your kid done lately?

IrishCoffee7 · January 2013

Just for funsies.

Yesterday I told Conall he had to eat two bites of his chili before he could have a yogurt. We started counting.

One...two...

He seemed to be liking it so I just gave him another bite. Then he started over counting and I just thought he was playing. He said "one...two..." and I gave him another bite. I figured he'd just missed the extra (third) bite, so I said "three".

His response?

"It's not three bites mommy. It's four bites."

Oh.

Natty helped clean up the living room before the girls went to bed last night.

She cleaned up the toys, used the carpet sweeper, and wiped the coffee table down.

Katie sat on the couch with a bowl of cheese, pointing out things and saying "Sister, there. Sister, there." while Natty picked up the things she pointed at and put them away.

So Katie is holding out for a management position.

Sometimes DD ( she's two) reminds me to get the mail when we pull in to our apartment complex. "Get mail, get mail mamma!"

My 4 year old has been on hunger strike lately and will not eat anything. One weekend my step son (age 10) came to visit. At dinner, my 4 year old was refusing to eat as usual. So my step son thought that he could help convince him to eat and started saying "c'mon, eat, why don't you eat, you need to eat" etc. Finally my 4 year old looked at him and said "stop clockin me"

LOL!

Today my 4 year old was crying and my TWO year old looked at him and said "you are a drama!"

They are too much

Izzy changed her Lions diaper.

Those are so cute. Seahorse buckled himself in the grocery cart. I think he found out that you only get a sticker at checkout if you stay buckled in.

We were out for breakfast with my dad Saturday morning and Myla was eating pancakes. Us three adults were talking away when Myla interrupts with, "Excuse me, guys. Syrup, please." I'd never heard her use excuse me other than when she's pushing the dog out of her way.

That's awesome! DD uses "guys" when referring to H and I too .

DD is at my mom's house today. I just called over there a little while ago and mom said that she was doing some work on her computer so DD grabbed a note pad and pen, sat down at her little table across the room and said "I workin', Mimi. You workin' over there, I workin' over here. We all workin'." lol

And yesterday, she kept saying "I got baby sister in my tummy too!" and pulling her shirt up. She's so excited about baby sister. It makes me so so happy. She said she's never, ever going to let baby sister sleep because she's just going to hold her, kiss her and hug her all the time! I said, "baby sister will need to sleep, just like you do." And she said, "But I love her! I just want to hold her!" Awwww!

I was with him at Costco picking up his birthday cake when I encountered some ladies stopped in the middle of the aisle for no real reason (that I could see). I guess I was talking under my breath, because Snuggle turned around in the cart and yelled "Excuse me ladies!"

Conall likes to tell me he has a baby in his tummy too. Or a puppy lol.
He doesn't get it though. He just talks about it because he knows it gets him attention. I wish he understood because it would be adorable if he talked about the baby like she does!

I think it's only clicked with DD in the last couple of weeks. It helps that we found out what we're having and call her "baby sister" and talk to DD about names. Plus, she has a baby cousin that she adores! When she's around him, she just stays close to him, pets and kisses him. She's definitely a little mama. She's thrilled that we're going to have a baby of our own soon.

MrsJakes · January 2013

He's started calling me by my first name when he's trying to get my attention. I guess he's realized that when other people say my name, I respond differently than when he says "momma" for the 250th time that day.

Smootchy · January 2013

I was cleaning the tub this weekend when I splashed myself in the eye with the bleach water I was using to clean, I let out a squeal of pain as I rubbed my eyes in the arm of my shirt. My 2 year old ran up to me saying, "momma! momma! I'm gonna go tell daddy your face hurts? Ok?!" (wanting permission to go downstairs because he was suppose to be up stairs napping...)

I told him I was ok but that I was SUPER proud of him to think to go get help if someone is hurt.

Thats cute! We're working on O saying "Excuse me" to the dogs, right now she uses the effective "Beep Beep!"

The other day I told DS My tummy hurt and he asked if I needed to poop. LOL, I always ask him that when he days his tummy hurts.

argonne · January 2013

My kid uses "Shall we..."

Instead of saying "can I have this" or "can I watch this", he'll say "shall we have a cookie?" and "shall we watch Thomas?"

I have no idea where he picked it up, but it's adorable.

TwoSkis · January 2013

DD cleaned my toilet last night. DS would have cleaned the other toilet, but I only had enough cleaner for one.

My children are weird.

Lol. My DD asks me this too, and then she says, "It's ok if you have to poop, dinner has to go somewhere."

Hesterlicious · January 2013

He busted me crying once and asked. "Are you ok mommy?" and have me a hug.

He has to buckle his high chair by himself and pick out his own breakfast. Ike pick it!"

He also has to pick out his own clothes and shoes.

He knew the bag full of tiny pink stuff I brought home was for Baby Tistor.

JPinkman · January 2013

DD started saying "Oh Jesus" when something wasn't going her way. I told her she shouldn't say that and after a few days, she started to self-censor. She now says "Oh Chuckie Cheesus" and also started saying "Oh Crackers" - no idea where either came from.

DD has also started blaming her farting on other people - not the best thing in the world. I blame DH for this habit. If she farts or hears anything resembling a fart noise she says, "You just farted!" to whoever is in the room with her in a very cartoonish voice. We have also been trying to impress the need to say excuse me - but now she advised that "excuse me" is just wrong and she needs to say "excuse my butt" - obviously it is her butt that is doing it not her.

MrsWindyCity · January 2013

When we're eating dinner, he asks both H and I "How was your day?" and then proceeds to ask "What did you do at work today?"

shannonmur · January 2013

You guys have some funny kids. I've posted before about my kid not letting anyone wear shoes in the house. This morning when we got up dh had left his sneakers on ths living room floor. G ran over, picked them up yelled away all the way down the hallway to our bedroom. Then banged on the door to get in. Then she put them in his closet and said away mom.

She grabbed my black coffee and took a chug.nbsp;Um.nbsp;She liked it.nbsp;

My kid will climb onto my desk to grab my cooled coffee and chug away. He loves it. Luckily I never let go of it while it's still hot.
