These are things my 4 yr old daughter has done lately.
Yesterday I had a converstation with my daughter that ended up being very serious. She's currently curious about death, dying, and hunting. On the way to BK she said to me "When I grow up and you get old are you and Daddy gonna die?" Golly what a question! So I talked with her about it quite a while. The subject came up about Uncle David who is not doing well and may pass away any day. I thought it fair to warn her gently about it. She was quite dismayed and said "Aww Uncle David?? I like him. I'll miss him then." After talking about it a while she was ok with it but I was driving with tears in my eyes. --------- This morning she woke up and I reminded her it was Mother's day. My daughter promptly declared that I needed to be fed breakfast in bed. Then dismayed, said that she couldn't make it for me but that she could make coffee for me. She then proceeded to get a coffee mug, fill it with water, put it in the microwave, then came to ask how many minutes to put it on. I told her, she got down my instant coffee, couldn't open and asked for help, but then told me to get right back in bed. Then she fixed it including put creamer in it. She did it pretty good job for a 4 yr old. Just a little bit strong but ohhhh so sweet to the heart. |

HAHAHAHA! That's classic :) I'm glad you can have a sense of humour about the situation. |
My 13 month old decided she wanted to try the nachos my wife and I were having for dinner tonight. She was going along fine until she grabbed one with a hot pepper. It took a second or two for it to register, but she quickly realized that it was not enjoyable. She spit it out and started to cry and instantly went for her juice. Was painful to watch but hilarious at the same time.

this thread rules.
we listen to all kinds of music around the house, and our little one (15 mo.) is starting to learn the differences. he has different dances for each kind. for hip hop he waves his hands in the air like he just don't care. for classical he waves one hand in the air like a conductor. and when some spanish guitar came on, he started to play air guitar. i swear i've never done any of these (in his presence) before - but now i can't help but join in. |
Guess who said her first word today?
At 6 and a half months of age, while looking at pictures of her old man on the computer, our Katherine Rose said "Daddy" very clearly. Twice while looking at one pic of the old man, and again while looking at another.
We thought she had said it in the preceding days, but we weren't sure if it was just babble. There could be no mistaking it this time! (She also has her first 2 teeth just coming in!) I'm so proud! |
Wow! that is great. You must be so proud of her.
|
Oh how fun! Before you know it you won't be able to shut her up. Daddy - I'm sure you'll be reminding MOM of that for a few years. So cool.
|
I was very proud when Babygirl™ said daddy for the very first time, until she pointed at the cat and said "daddy" and then the fridge "daddy"...and so on and so forth. :lol:
She is pretty sure that I am "daddy" now, but the cats still get most of the attention. Wait until she learns "NO" |

I have a 7 1/2 month old. She's crawling like crazy and getting really fast at it. She has no problem pulling herself up to a standing position using any surface around but she's afraid to cruise so she just stands there till she's bored.
She's eating all sorts of things like rice cereal, oatmeal, banannas, avocados, and carrots. She's also saying da da and na na all the time. It's quite amazing to watch someone develop. She also loves the cats. One of the cats is pretty submissive and lets her crawl all over him while she pushes and pulls on his fur. You can tell that it at least is uncomfortable for him so we pull her off of him but he comes right back for more right away. Last night she hurt herself and was crying hysterically. The cat followed my wife around meowing. He was so concerned about her. |

Another language item. Tigger (which is what I'm calling my 33-month old son, if you missed my journal entry) just turned a noun into an adjective. I had no idea that abstraction of language parts happened that early.
The story: in the ongoing effort to get him to try new foods by combining them with foods he already eats, we offered him a slice of Hawaiian pizza. He looked at it and said "No! Too fruity!" I'm sure we have never used the word fruity, but we have certainly said fruit a lot. |
My 15-yr-old daughter was just accepted into the cast of a local youth theatre group production of West Side Story. She did 42nd Street last summer. I just saw her year-end dance performance last weekend. Apparently she has reached the age where I am going to tear up every time I see her dance. She's a young woman now, and doing things I never would have had the balls to do. She amazes me.

My daughter gets on a roll with "dada". We've had her say other words sense, but the one my wife tried the hardest with was "mom" or "momma". Turns out my daughter at first would only say it when she was getting upset.
|
Wow -- six months, awesome! (One of my daughters just asked when baby Lebell will start talking. It has been so long, I couldn't exactly remember. Now I can tell her. Is it just me, or does speaking in six short months seem amazing?)
|
hooray!! "mama" can't be too far off.
we also went through the every-thing-on-the-planet-is dada phase for a while. now, only the pacifier and i are "dada." we are also both "papi." i hope i give him as much comfort as the pacifier. |
We went to a friends house for a bbq today. They have two dogs that they keep in their dog run while guests are over, and the dog run is right by the garage, which has the food/treats in it. Well, my son wandered off for a few minutes, and the next thing we know he has liberated the huge bucket of dog treats from the garage and is feeding them by the handful to the delighted dogs; the treats were all over the pen and the grass surrounding the pen. I was so embarrassed. My girlfriend thought it was hilarious but I think her husband wasn't too amused.

Congratulations dude!
From what I've read, 6 months is pretty good for the first word. Mr Mephisto |
Found a new bike for my daughter who will be 5 next week. She was beginning to need something bigger. She tried it and decided she wanted the training wheels switched from her old to her new one. I switched them and then she tried riding her old bike without the training wheels. She's now zipping around on the old 2 wheel bike with no help. It amazed me when she just got on and zipped off without any help or hardly any practice. WOW!

We were at a friend's place on the weekend and my daughter was playing downstairs with their kids. Suddenly their daughter came tearing up the stairs shouting something about our daughter...
Run downstairs expecting the worst... she has climbed up into their bathroom sink, retreived the nail scissors from the medicine cabinet and proceeded to hack big chunks of hair from her noggin... My wife was pretty upset with her but it was all I could do to keep from laughing... It doesn't look that bad... but she did hack off quite a bit. |

My wife was going to take her to get it all cut off but I convinced her that she could get away with it the way it is...

I had a classic situation with a friends child when we were at baseball. It was my turn to sit for an inning and he was crawling all over me. I was giving him "horsy" rides, and he was having a ball. And then he asks how old I was, and I said that I was 20, and I'm sure we all know what he said next, "wow, you're old." And then he explained that he was three. It cracked me up, this has happened a couple of times to me, but it's funny everytime.

My daughter is on a roll with "uh-oh" these days. It started with my wife saying it when my daughter dropped her pacifier. Very soon, my daughter picked it up. Now she says "uh-oh" then drops the pacifier (then smiles really big)

My little girl is 15 months old, and today she came up to me and said "poo poo", and i took her and put her on the potty and she pooped. yes! she now done that twice now, and she wakes up with dry diaper now. Can't believe she is getting this already, very cool. think i screamed "effing right" while she went, not my best choice of words, but was caught up in the moment. ah the joys of a stay at home dad.

My 9 year old daughter took her brand new school tennies off and put on old ones before going out to play - without my even having to say a word! Oh, it was bliss when I noticed.
And not to leave out the boy - he's jazzed about being the oldest kid at his table this year (he's 2nd grade, and the school is set up in learning centers which group K - 2 together in the same class). |
Just was giving my 17 month old some nekked time to run around without a diaper. She just peed on the cat. Walked right over, hovered over the cat and let it go. diaper is back on.....lmao.

Ok... enough nonsense. I couldn't find the car key this morning and called to my wife upstairs to see if she knew where it was... I was searching the front room when my 3 year old daughter bounced up and handed me the spare key, "Here ya go Daddy. Spare key!" and then bounced back to the kitchen to finish her breakfast. The space key is kept in a drawer in the kitchen. It was very cute. |
I am still laughing about peeing on the cat lol. Oh reading all these stories have been sooo great. I have a 5 year old daughter and almost 3 year old son and have been staying home with them for almost 5 1/2 years and have seen some amazing things but am also going stir crazy.
One of my fav daughter stories is still from when she was 2. She was in the bathtub and we were talking about her freckles and moles. We were pointing out all the ones we could find and she piped up with "I have so many dots, they should just call me Dotty Williams". We still call her that now and again but she doesn't like it so much now hehe. |
Ever since he could sit up by himself, we've been playing this game with our son (10mo) where we throw our hands high up in the air and say "UP!", with the hopes that he will play along. It always got a smile, but yesterday he did it back to us. He even made an 'up' sounding noise. After a couple of goes, he started leading us. This went on for twenty minutes and we couldn't stop laughing!

I take my daughter (18 months) to the local library for toddler programs. Everything from singing and dancing to baby sign language. Today the teacher was teaching some basic animal signs, dog, cat..etc. Anyway the teacher was holding up pictures as she was going through various animals, and she flipped over a picture of an elephant and goes "now kids will not be able to pronounce this word until there older, but here is the sign for it". Before she could get to the end of her sentence my daugher yells out "ELEPHANT!". And then shouted out the colour of it (which was purple). The teacher looked amazing and said she was so surprised a child so young could say such a word.
I sat there and was beaming inside. Thought to myself fucking right on! Then I though, big deal, she can do tons of animals, and there sounds, and tell you the colour. Made my day (nice to get outside praise on how well your doing!). Not to mention when the program first started some of the ladies in the class were insulting men's parenting skills and I heard one of them question if a stay at home dad was a good thing. Eat that! |

We were at the Dollar Tree today. Some employee had the bright idea of filling an endcap with stemmed glassware. My daughter had chosen some glowstick necklaces to buy. While she continued to walk around and look at things she put the sticks in her shopping basket that she was carrying. They stuck out a good distance. I'm sure you can guess where this is going. - Yup the sticks caught a couple of the glasses off the bottom shelf and sent them tumbling. I came to help pick up and another customer commented that it wasn't a good place to have those glasses. The manager and cashier both came over to help pick up pieces of glass. Thankfully only one glass had been broken. My daughter wanted to help but was told not to touch the broken pieces for fear she'd get cut. While she stood by and watched she turned, set down her basket, pulled out her purse and said "I guess you better watch our for me when I've got some long stick like that (pointing to the glow stick package), I'm dangerous. How much do I need to pay?" The manager stopped and practically stared at her. Then said "What?" She repeated her question and he caught it that time. He answered her that she didn't need to pay for the glass, it shouldn't have been put there. It was ok. To which my daughter replied "Thankyou. I'm sorry I bumped them."
She is 5 years old. Makes her Moma proud. |
Wow...kiddo's sharp ain't she?

Just to give y'all an idea where these bright children are headed:
I took my 13 year old son to get his hair cut. Well, it got SHAVED. Nothing left but some fuzz, of which he was pretty mad. Tonight at soccer, he came across an old coach, who said to him, 'What happened to your hair?? You in prison now?' To which my smartass son replied: "Yea. Left the jumpsuit home though". :lol: |
Ok...everyday, when I pick my 3 year old son up from daycare, I give him a sandwich that I save back from my lunch for him. It's ritual now, and he enjoys it. Now, I'm one of the 4 people on the planet that actually likes pickle loaf. So, I give him half of my diagonal cut sandwich, and he munches happily. After a few minutes, I look over and see that he's eaten the bread, but left the meat. I told him to finish it. He looks at me, as though I've finally gone off the deep end, and says "Trash", while holding up the pickle loaf. I told him that it was meat, and that he should eat it. Now I get the look that tells me that all doubt has left him. His dad has finally crossed over into dementia. "No, Dad...this is not meat...this is trash.
Who made him a little lunch meat connoisseur? |
