The "Guess what my kid did!" thread
Ok, stories of silly things they said, silly events, amazing experiences, grand milestones, etc.
Celebrate it here! -We were reading a bedtime story and there was a rainbow with a character sliding down on it on the page and Drew says "Rainbows are slippery!" -My 4 yr. old son practically knows all the characters on all Star Wars Movies (1, 2, 4-6), recites half of all the movies, and knows which of his many lightsabers are which characters'. -After a shower/bath with his daddy, I take him in his room to get jammies on and he lies down and grabs his area and said "these are testicles! and balls!" Gee, I wonder what they talked about in there?....... |
Helen (18 months) says "Hi!" and "Bye!" to everyone right now.
In Wal-Mart this evening, some teenage boy told her to shut up when she said hi. She got a angry look on her face and said to him "BITCH!" I wonder where she got the attitude problem. :hmm: (She and I are both redheads.) |
When I get my 16 month old out of his crib in the morning, the first thing he does is point to the stereo. Sure, he has a huge wet diaper on, but the tunes are of primary importance.
He also knows how to open the front of the Bose stereo and which button turns it on, in case the music isn't on in the living room. |

Funniest image - this cute little toddler copping a 'tude and saying "bitch!" Good work!!! And redlemon - glad to know your kid has his priorities straight! ;) |
When she was about 18months my little girl caught on to one of my favorite phrases "oh shit" and knew how to use it properly. Took a lot of training on both our parts to end that.
|
My favorite story was when she was 1 (she's 3 now) and she was in nursery at church. There were 2 boys and about 4 girls in there besides her. One of the boys decided to pester the girls. Even to pulling their hair, pushing them down and knocking them on the heads with toys. I was one of the nursery workers that day and there were 2 others - one in the room off ours with the infants. We triwed everything we could to calm this little boy down. He had pushed Laura twice and once she shook her finger at him saying "No No." Second time She stood up and pushed him and said the same. Then she happened to see him across the room walk up to one little girl and grab her hair. Us workers weren't near enough or fast enough. Laura saw it and took a running dive, tackling this boy on the floor. She then stood up, shook her finger and said "No No!" again. He looked at her in surprise but didn't cry. From then on he stopped his harrassment. :D My girl is the tough cookie. lol
|
My son got his very first progress report in preschool. He has done very well, the only thing we are told he needs to work on is his listening skills. No surprise there!
|
During a polite visit with friends whom we had not seen in ages, my three year old son inturrupted the conversation with -
"I have an idea. Let's look at my penis!" Yup. That's my boy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have been quite sad lately over the death of a friend whom I had known since I was 5. I tried to act normal around my kid, and didn't say anything about it to him. But there is no fooling him. He and my wife were at the store, and out of the blue he suggested that they buy me a flower to cheer me up. What a wonderful flower it is. What kind of a 3-year-old thinks like that? |
^^^^ lmao. You sound like my husband when those things happen!
Age 3 is amazing. |

PorscheBunny I told hubby about the "Bitch" story. He got a good laugh out of it. He asked me "So how did the teen boy react to that?"
Clavis - those were great. Thanks for sharing. |
He walked off acting like he ignored it. (kinda anti-climatical I know)
|
I don't have kids of my own but I thought this was too good not to share.
Yesteday, My 3 year old sister came running up to me and said "Guess what I have in my butt!" I smiled and said I don't know and she said "QUARTER!" a few minutes later she comes back and says "Bubba, Guess what I got in my butt" I don't know.. "FINGER!" Funniest moment EVER! |
What is up with a little boy and his penis? My son, Ocean (grade K) want's to show it to all his friends! I've been told by one parent, and his teacher 3 times (All different kids too). Maybe it's because I'm a woman that I don't get it???? As soon as he no longer needed to wear diapers, he began sticking it out of the top of his shorts or pants! Did I do this as a little girl and now just don't remember it? Anyone with girls out there?
|
It isn't just little boys, it's all males regardless of age. They just change the phrasing from "wanna see my pee-pee" to "oh baby, you're making me harder than Chinese algebra."
|
Girls don't have anything sticking out of their bodies. Boys are fascinated as it is an obvious extension that is very noticable and fun to play with. It's almost like a toy to them and what's so great about it is that they are comfortable with their body parts- let them be!

Back to: Guess what my kid did... didn't mean to loose topic, well I guess this sort of applies. |
I'm no parent, but my folks told me that when i was a baby, I would cry so much, that one day, annoyed out of his wits by me, my older brother, then 3, demanded
"Mom! Put the baby back!" |
About boys and the penis thing:
My boys are 10, 7, and 16 months, so I've lived it and seen it! I think the crux of it is that the penis is where the ACTION is. The thing is always at work peeing - and it sure does feel good to that little one! My 16 month old starts playing as soon as the diapers off. It just plain feels good. What agreat mystery! here's this handle on my body that lets out nice warm liquid, and I feel good while it's happening! The ears just don't give that kind of sensation! Then, as they grow, even more sensations start down there! Too cool! Ever see a little baby hard on? Must feel great to them. Then the kicker sets in. Adults say you should keep it to yourself! Adults don't single out the ears, nose, arms, etc for that kind of special treatment. So it gets even better... |
Last Christmas the shops were the usual madness. We were trying to stop our youngest son (4) from being the devil child that he can be by saying 'Father Christmas is watching you, he won't bring you any pressies if you don't behave.' the usual parent bribery thing.
Walking out of this particular store, who should be standing there at the door, but Father Christmas! We start giving it 'see we told you he was watching' and the guy dressed as Santa plays along too. My son looked extremely sheepish, but just as he was out of the doorway he turns around and shouts at Santa at the top of his voice, 'SLAP HEAD!!!' Mum and Dad were speechless to say the least!! |
My little girl is just starting on the DaDa MaMa and bye-bye with the wave
11 months--- seems like yesterday |
You guys may have made a mistake starting a "brag about the kid" thread! I will try to restrain myself, but...
My 15 year old son in a 2 time state Jr. chess champ, won national action singles in 2002. He is a USChess certified instructor and teachers the game in several school districts, and privately. He averages over 190 in two different bowling leagues, shot 731 last week and his team leads the city YABA tournament. He's my middle child. His older brother and younger sister are remarkable as well, but I'll save some for later. (I'm chuckling at the stories being told here. You are reviviing memories of some very good times. Enjoy and cherish all of these moments. My youngest is now 12 years old, but it was only a blink ago that she was the cutest toddler ever! Tempus Fugit!) |
My 3 year old girl insists that she is a boy and could argue with you for hours about it...
of course the arguement goes something like... Me: you're a girl Her: NO! Im a boy She also loves Spiderman and we will probably have to resort to putting her in Spiderman underwear to get her potty trained. |

I had to bribe my oldest with M&Ms. She went 30 times a day, but I didn't object as long as there were no diapers to change. She's 13 now and more often than not, she goes without the M&Ms. |
My son who is 2 1/2 has discovered that he can gain an erection by doing certain things while at other times it just magically happens. The other night, my wife was giving him a bath in the tub and he was playing in the water. He rolled onto his stomach and scooted around a bit playing with his toys. He then stands up, realizes he has a hard on, looks at my wife and says, "Me big like daddy!!"
She had to leave the bathroom so he did not see her laughing. |
Well i have two stories...we all know that as mommies we kiss ur little ones little pains and scratches away to make them feel better. Well one day when my son was 4 and he was on the potty and his little wiener got hard and he said it was sore and YELLED mommy my wiener is sore can you kiss it better...timing as it was, my husband at the time was in the other room...asking the same thing....thru his laughter of course.
Second, JUST the other day, my now 9 yr old looked at me in front of my bf and said...mom you have something up your nose...got get rid of all those hairs. I thought i was going to die...of course while running to the bathroom to check..which of course, there weren't...My bf was too laughing...so ladies...i doesn't get any better as they get older..they just can express it differently! |
okay, I finally have one that's worth posting..
My son's 9 and in Little league baseball.. Tonight, his coach had a special guest, a former pro pitcher, who came and gave the kids tips on throwing, and so forth, but at the end of the practice, he threw 3 pitches to each kid. Much faster than anything they'd ever swing at. (not pro-speed, but damned fast).. My sone hit all 3 pitches, fowling the first, a good base hit on the 2nd, and out of the field on the 3rd.. He's never played before, and this is their 3rd practice.. Some of the other kids got it once, but nobody else hit it more than one time. All the dads and coaches got REAL excited... this may be a fun thing for me as a dad afterall... |
Last week we took our son to gymnastics right after him attending a trial Tae Kwan Do class. Half-way through his gym class, I decide to go to the shoestore to hunt for new shoes for our daughter. So, my husband stayed and watched him. I come back and he's out of class, getting his shoes on. I see a smirk on my son's face and an embarrased look on my husband's. Apparently, my son decided to take off his pants and run around the gym. Glad everyone had a good laugh- I am sure I couldn't even keep a straight face if I saw that.

must tell this one
:D Reading all of the posts are so funny, I have just 2 funny little stories to tell about my son (soon to be 18).
When he was about 2,he had learned to go potty like daddy and was very proud of this accomplishment, I was cooking dinner and was racing around the kitchen trying to finish up and I had to pee like a racehorse, but could'nt go b/c of dinner on the stove, he walks into the kitchen and asks me"momma, can I help? and just out of the sheer need to pee really bad, I said" baby, momma needs to potty , but can't go , would you go for me? and went right back to finishing up dinner. Next thing I know here he comes running down the hall yelling "momma, do you feel better, I pee pee for you! At that point I sat down in the floor and told him "yes, I feel better, thank you. so innocent. My husband and I always told our son that if he told a story that it would show up on his forehead, and we would know that he did. fast forward to 1st grade, Teacher calls me and tells me that he kicked a boy, ( he was learning tae kwon do) so that afternoon I always met him at the bus stop, and would ask him how was his day at school, That afternoon, I'm waiting at the bus stop, he gets off with his hand covering his forehead, I try not to bust into laughter, and walk over to him hug him and ask him how was his day. He still his hand covering his forehead, and says to me, I had a good day momma and walks on to our house. I fell out laughing right there in the yard. TIME GOES BY SO INCREDIBLY FAST WITH CHILDREN, TREASURE EACH AND EVERY DAY, AS IF IT WAS YOUR LAST, MAKE MEMORIES, MAKE TIME, SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW. SO THAT WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR OWN, THEY WILL REMEMBER, AND YOU WILL HAVE STARTED A BEAUTIFUL AWESOME CYCLE. THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU FOR THAT SPECIAL GIFT :) :) |
My 4 yr. old son just drew not only once, but twice, the most amazing picture of a 'monster'. All I did was draw the teeth. But both times he drew them quickly, and exactly the same. I don't even think I am being biast- if you saw it, you may think it is great work for a 4 yr old who usually doesn't draw! It LOOKS like a monster!
He might just take after his daddy! |
Our son spilt water on his pants at dinner time, so here he is with no pants on while I get a new pair. Well, he's on the couch and he starts playing with himself- poking and pinching and pulling- and all of the sudden he's got a huge stiffy. He starts using both hands and rubbing up and down and cupping it and stroking it just like masturbating!! We couldn't help but laugh hysterically- and he was giggling as well. Then we initiated the "if you want to play with yourself, go to your room. but you at least have underwear on while you're just haging around the house".
Ah, it was too funny. |
On the way to our latest gymnastics meet, the girls were fighting over who got to go first in the next car game. I suggested we pick a number between 1 and 100. Both girls and grandma picked numbers, then I said, "14." My youngest says, "what was the number mom?" I reply, "14." She says, "oh, you won." I start laughing. Then the eldest says, "breathe mom, breathe." This causes me to laugh even harder as they have no idea what I'm laughing about. Of course it helped that grandma was busting up too. I wonder how long until they figure out I cheated. They are bright girls normally.

My son was prone to temper tantrums as a toddler and one day in Walmart, he started one just as we got to the check-out line. Customers were starting to stare as I tried not to lose it and calm him down. I finally told him to stick out his tongue. Sobbing, he did so. Then, I told him, now sing your ABC song. Through tears, he began, AthBTH THee....everyone around us starting laughing and pretty soon, so did he.
Second quick one: with twins, quiet is not normal. At 16 months,they were in the playroom (i kept a child gate at the doorway) and it got pretty quiet except the faint sound of a Nintendo 64 game. I grabbed the video camera(I taped them every day for several minutes) sneaked in and saw my son sitting there in front of the tv, controller in hand, playing a game he put into the console and, after saying 'uh-oh, I got killt', would hit 'reset' and go again. And this was a kid who, when he spoke, didn't say anything anyone could understand!!(he is now, at 12, a major computer whiz) |
awwww, lol

Cool thread, thought I would share a couple of mine… some of my favorites have come out of my daughter…like they say “kids say the darnest things”
One when she was about three we were going into the gas station and a young lady was walking up to the door, so being polite I open the door and let her go first. My daughter pipes up and says.”Why did you do that Dad, was it because shes a babe?” Another one that we still tease her to this day (she’s 14 now) was she has always liked music, grew up listing to mom and dads music…so when she was about 8 or 9 she was going through the cd’s and you could tell she wasn’t finding what she was looking for. Asked her what cd she wanted? She says “I am looking for the Harold Smith cd” the wife and I was looking at her thinking “who’s Harold Smith??” Then it hit me, I said do you mean “Aerosmith” We still ask her if she wants to listen to Harold Smith? She just gives us the look…LOL One day at the park, the state police have a station right next door, and they were talking to kids and showing them the police cars. My wife takes our daughter (about 4) over to see the cars, and was talking to the trooper; he noticed that our daughter has on a pair of "Lion King" shoes on. And he comments about her shoes, she whips around and pulls her pants down and says” look I have "Lion King" undies too”. The wife about died…LOL But my all time favorite…when she was five, I stopped by the cemetery to visit my Dad’s grave. Was telling her about her grandpa (he died before she was born). At the cemetery, Dad has a headstone at the top of the grave and a military plaque that is at the foot of the grave. She was asking what the headstone was and what the other one was and I was explaining it to her. When the cemetery placed them on the grave, they only put the two stones about four feet apart. So after a bit of looking and thinking about the stones, she looks up at me and says, ”your Dad wasn’t very tall was he” I busted up, Dad would have loved that one. |
My 4 yr old daughter and I were heading home one night after I picked her up from daycare and I had National Public Radio news on the radio. She told me that "Dad, I don't think about adult stuff, but when you play this music it makes me think."
I think she's the coolest... |
oh, wow- that'a a pretty mature line for a 4-yr-old. My 4 yr old son amazes me with his thought process and big words too.
|
I am enjoying this thread. I keep coming back to check it out again. I can see it sticking around for a long time. Our kids are always surprising us with new stuff. Some of thing things mentioned here are so funny. Thanks all for sharing.

My son who recently turned 3 made up a song called the Itsy Bitsy Poopie Spider. We were at my folks house & he just started singing:
"The Itsy Bitsy Spider climbed up the Poopie spout, down came the rain & washed the Poopie out, out came the sun and dried up all the Poop and the Itsy Bitsy spider climbed up the Poop again" It came out of nowhere so it was hystircal. |
^^^ lol
*one day my husband was taking a piss and our son goes in and says "i have to go potty too" and so he joins him and then says "We make a great 'X'!", referring to the two crossing streams they were making. *We were talking with our son last night about his poopy accident he had in the car the other night in gramma & papa's car. My husband kept asking, "did you like it? Did it feel good?" Our son said 'No' but then he said "I like sliding around in it." We both went "eeewwwwww!" |
My son age 3 the I fly radio controlled helicopters we were a the flying site and I had a mishap one day I crashed showing off I went and gatherd the peaces took it back to the car were man son was and he said damn dad you f***ed it up this time i started cracking up
|
On Saturday morning, our 19-month old woke up before we were ready to be up. It was my wife's morning to sleep in, so I went to get our son. Since I was still tired, I took him out of the crib, changed him, and brought him into the full size bed that is still in his room. We both drifted in and out of sleep for a while.
Later that morning, the three of us were in his room, sorting through clothes. My son grabs a pillow, puts it on the ground, and lies down. And then begins to fake snore. And laugh. Great, only 19 months old, and he's already making fun of me. My wife couldn't stop laughing. |
Nothing major about this one, but my son discovered the pure joy of jumping in puddles yesterday.
|
Caught my daughter just the other day.
She was dancing on the coffee table. No big deal right? Well it was right in front of the picture window facing the other apt building and I happened to walk in just as her last article of clothing went flying through the air in my direction. There she is, dancing, naked on the table. I asked her where she got the idea to dance like that? She said "I just like dancing." "Well who did you see dancing like that?" Her reply "Me". I don't recall dancing like that here at home - especially without clothes - at least when she was awake and watching. Eeeek. Don't need the neighbors catching us. lol Besides she's not quite 4. Hmm wonder what she'll be doing when she's 24? Ahh No don't want to think about that - not my baby - Eek. At least I can say she's comfortable in her own skin. lol :D Quote:

So, Im standing in the kitchen when my 5 yr old daughter comes up to me and tells me she has food in her nose. Like a stupid dad I told her that she did not have food up her nose and that she should stop cause were were getting ready to leave. The next instant my daughters eyes start watering and ask to get the food out of her nose, reluctantly I pick her up look in her nose and tell her I dont see any food in her nose. Well by this time she is just bawling and keeps telling me she needs to get the food out of her nose. It dawned on me, I look at the last item she had in her hand a bottle of ..... cayenne pepper. My wonderful daughter had been sniffing the spices. I guess she now know what cayeene pepper smells like.
|
I just had to say, this is officially one of my favorite threads. I've been cracking up for the past 10 minutes. The problem I see with myself ever having kids, is that they'd be doing this kind of stuff well into their 40's...
|
One night my 4 yr. old son got undressed to hop in the shower with daddy- well, he had to make a detour into our bedroom where I was and have a short streaking session. He decided to climb up onto me and rub his naked belly on me! I am glad he is comfortable with his body.........but he sure cracks me up on how comfortable he is!
|
The other day, we were sitting in the living room watching TV, and my 3yr old leaned over and farted. I gave him my best fatherly glare(while whipping myself to keep from laughing), and he says" Sorry Dad, My bottom just burped."

Agball, that's a little boy for ya!! I babysat a 4 y.o. boy last summer who's favorite activity was swinging on his swingset while shouting "potty words" at the top of his lungs. I later found out his mom had gotten so sick of it that she finally told him he could only use his "potty mouth" outside!
|
So, my 2 year old boy is starting to sing along to music. He gets some of the words, but pretty much sings under his breath and mumbles along. You have to listen really closely to see what parts he is getting. Most of the time.
A couple of weeks ago, he was sitting on the floor in the kitchen with one of the 'play a song' books, which at the time was playing a electronic version of "Where or where has my little dog gone". So, he's singing "mmmbl mbbmbl mmbmbm BEEEEE!" OK, he's got the last word down! |
My son, at the age of 4, is amazing the hell out of me. He is so intruigued with reading and writing letters and numbers. We do a letter book every night and he is pretty much spelling the words on his own! He is even voluntarily writing them on paper or his magnadoodle every day. He is even an incredible artist, taking after his father. It's great knowing that he is enthused about learning these things.
|
I was at the store with my 3 year old son and it was a big deal for him to finally get to walk by himself and not ride in the cart. We were in line checking out and he was standing behind me. I noticed the cashier making a funny face and I turned around to see my son with his penis fully out of his pants, pointing it at other people and making shooting noises.
No matter how I tried to explain that the store is not the place to play with it, he didn't seem to understand why. |
in line at a coffee shop with my 3-yr-old daughter...an overweight lady in front of us in line...my daughter looks over to my wife sitting 10 feet away and loudly announces "mommy, this is the BIGGEST lady i've ever seen in my life!"
thankfully, the lady had a sense of humor (maybe even a child of her own?) and chuckled it off...AND, at least my daughter didn't say "FATTEST"... |
well my daugher is only 6 months old, but last week she started to say da-da. and now says it constantly, at me, the dog, her toys...etc hehehe. so cute! trying the ma-ma but she is going full tilt with da-da. not that i mind....:-)

This is a great thread! It has made me remember quite a few things my girls have done to make me and hubby laugh and cry!
Last year my Mother-In-Law passed away, and instead of a funeral we had a Memorial Service which we held at my Mom's place in the backyard. It wasn't officiated, it was just family and friends getting together to mourn, pay our respects, and to share stories. Both of my children were there, Moni who was (at the time) 3 1/2 and Crystal who was 1. My daughter one day was trying to tell me about her cousin (she has a LOT of them), but she couldn't remember her name. I asked her where did she see this cousin last, because I just couldn't figure out who she was talking about. She says to me "Don't you remember Mom, at the 'Sad Party'." This of course threw me off, because I have no clue yet again what she's talking about. So I asked her, "What sad party?? Who's Sad Party??" She got upset and looked right at me with eye's that said 'how could you not know!' and said "Mom, the one for Grandma Judy!" I hadn't realized how much that party had affected her, and how well she expressed what that day had meant to her. This was a few months after that party, and she has a great memory, so at that point I could tell her what cousin she was talking about. Blieth, "Yes Mama, the one who's Grandma looks just like mine and sounds just like mine. We have a lot in common." Janet, being Judy's sister, is almost her twin, and another observation she picked up on all on her own. Another one: My now 2 1/2 yr. old Crystal is potty training, all on her own choice. She's sitting on the potty one day and giggles when she starts peeing. Then she asks for paper, and I give it to her, and she says 'try again' and I say go ahead. She starts going again and gets the biggest smile on her face and while giggling even more says "It's WARM MAMA!!" It was just so cute! |
At some point my son suddenly figured out what the potty training thing was about. The next day he was sitting on the toilet working on a #2. He looks up at me with serious face and says "This is hard work, daddy!"
Today he is a freshman at the U, and plays in the marching band. Far smarter than I ever was. My 4 year old daughter was with us at the grocery store and we were in the checkout lane waiting for the person in front of us to finish writing a check. The cashier was chatting her up, so she had built up some confidence. She proudly proclaimed "My daddy has a penis." After a few moments of stunned silence checkered with muffled guffaws by the people around us, she decided to add "And mommy has a string." Today she is a freshman in high school, and she will have a letter jacket by this spring. I am so proud of my kids. \\for the ones that have an emotion, an emotion deep inside, that it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive... |

Yesterday my 4 yr old son was hanging out with my dad. Out of nowhere he says "I'm not smart." My dad said "Sure you are! You are learning so fast and do so well at writing, letters & numbers, coloring, drawing, remembering things.......why do you think you're not smart?"
My son replies "Because there's so much I don't know." My dad says (which I thought too) "Well, that just goes to show that you are smart- for knowing that you don't know everything. And as you grow older you will learn more and more." Isn't that cool though? |

I just looked at her like "Our boy sings Eminem now?" -Mikey |
Our 2.5-year-old stuck a raisin up his nose. We were concerned that we needed to help get it out. (Warning: just let it alone.) So... we tried nudging it with a Q-tip, extracting it with tweezers, cajoling him to blow his nose; nothing worked. Growing more concerned with each failed attempt, we decided we needed to help him sneeze. What better to help him sneeze than with pepper? (Warning: bad idea.) In a moment of blind idiocy on our part, we put a pinch of finely ground white pepper into a bulb nasal syringe and squirted it up his nose. We quickly realized it was a horrible, horrible mistake. He cried and cried, and to top it all off, the raisin STILL didn't come out. We apologized profusely and consoled our weeping boy.
The next day we found a bleached swollen raisin on the floor. (Remember: just let it alone.) Sorry, I guess this post has become more "Guess what the stupid parents did" than "Guess what my kid did." But.... he started it! |
My 12 month old walks and manages a few words, and every day she seems to do something new and amazing. She is such a joy.
Only recently has she learned to climb into the rocking chair, and when she does, she sits right back in it, puts her hands on the armrests, and starts rocking back and forth. It's simple, but it's so cool to watch. |
My son's five and he has the habit of lifting the lid off the cage of my Goliath Birdeater tarantula... and forgetting to close it afterwards.
Steps have been taken to ensure that the lid is firmly cellotaped shut all the time, and the cage has been moved to a very high place. I just pray to God he doesn't get taller any time soon... |
Daughter threatened to kill another child on the bus.

OK, good weekend with my 2.5 year old boy.
On Friday night, we were all hanging out in the family room, he was off playing by himself. He then grabbed this Fisher-Price upright piano (5 notes) and a drum and dragged them over to where we were sitting. He dropped the drum in my lap, set the piano up in front of me so that he could play it, and said "Play song!". So we jammed for about 5 minutes. He then stopped playing, turned the keyboard around to me, and took the drum for himself, and we kept on playing. That night was also the first time he used the construction "I like". He said "I like music." Saturday night, as I put him into his crib, he said "Mommy. I like mommy." Sunday morning, he was eating breakfast with my wife, and said "I like daddy." That's the three most important things in our house, right there. |
This thread is unbearably sweet! I don't have kids, as I'm way too young, but I love these stories.
I'm thinking of going into early childhood education, and these stories make it seem like a lot more fun than I was thinking! |
My son is potty training, and we were at a restaurant the other day. As we were leaving, my son said, rather loudly, "I need to go POOP!! I need to go POOP!!". It was a pretty crowded restaurant and this amused several other patrons who happened to hear it. :lol:

My 4 yr old son amazes me with his thought process and big words.

i went for a walk with my fifteen month old son - our first without a stroller - and he held my hand the whole time. i felt pretty loved. we got to the corner where a particularly noisy dog lives behind a low picket fence. the dog was no where to be seen, but my son walked up to the fence, stuck his face between the planks and yelled "taco." the dog's name is "tucker." i guess he got pretty darn close. :thumbsup:

I was just informed last week, that my daughter is doing so well in reading that the teacher wants to start sending home more advanced books. She had brought home 2 starter books the day before, and had complained to me that they were too short, so I wrote a little note to the teacher saying "Moni wishes the books were longer." It's soo cool to know she enjoys reading and that the teacher is going to help keep her challenged :) She also feels she will be one of the stongest readers going into first grade next year. This is an awesome feeling for me at a time when you never know for sure that you are doing the right stuff...if ya know what I mean...
Again, I just love this thread :) Thanks everyone for sharing! And I'll be the first to admit, it's the smallest things that leave the biggest impact! |
My 11 month old took 2 steps all by himself today.

My son is going through the potty training stage right now. I usually work in my garage late at night. And he is always there to "help". I bought him his own tool set last week as a prize for pooping in the potty. He really enjoys it. When I was helping him along.. I just told him to push, and say out loud a little phrase.
Well we were at the store to pick up his toolbox. And he started holding his rear end. I asked him if he had to poop. Adn he shook his head yes. So off to the rest room we go. The first stall was full. So into the second we went. Got him all ready to do his business. And he is sitting there straining. When all of the sudden. At the top of his lungs he yells the little phrase we had said the day before... "Get out of my butt you stinkin terd!" I heard the guy in the next stall chuckle, and say "give it hell boy" My son finished shortly after that. And I prayed we would not run into the guy from the stall next door at the sinks. I can't help but chuckle everytime I think about it. |
OMG! that is the funniest thing I've heard today...
My daugher is going through potty training right now... when she goes in the potty, which is more often that not, she gets to do the "potty dance". The hard part is getting her to hold still for a wipe... she just loves doing the potty dance. |
Now those are the stories you need to keep documented for which to embarass your lovely child when they are teenagers and dating...
|
When I helped raise my step-nephew, I was throwing him up into the air and I was going really close to the ceiling, and well... accidentally I hit his head on the ceiling. Feeling really bad about doing that, he looks at me really wide-eyed and says "whas tha?" And I said "sorry" to him, and then he said "poopy." The funny thing was that he didn't have a dirty diaper. I think he picked that up from me because I always 'use' to say it.
Cutest thing ever, he has blue eyes like me, I swear hes my child but thats impossible. |
It's obvious that mine are a little older than the ones you guys are talking about, but never the less, my son is always asking questions about sex. The latest went something like this: ."Hold on a minute... did you just say you humped up in my mamma while she was still pregnant with me????"
"We made LOVE son, yes" "I can't believe what I'm hearing! You sick bastard!" "It's quite normal son" "QUITE NORMAL? QUITE FUCKING NORMAL? You call shooting your load over a babies head normal???" "Why, you were in quite a different part of your mothers body, son. You were safely tucked away in a placental sack in her womb protected from my ejaculate by a cervical mucus plug, not to mention uterine muscle and a cushion of amniotic fluid." "Don't try and baffle me with science you freaky fetish freak. What was it? Like some fucked up hippy baptism shit?" "Don't be like that son, lots of people make love when expecting a baby, particularly during the second trimester. It's quite possible right through the third trimester up to birth you know." "Lot's of people? What is this? Some kind of incestuous semi-paedophilic menage et trois? Is it like some sort of Masonic ritual to join some fucked-up sex mad society?" "Yes son. OK. Have it your way. I'm a freaky fetish freak who shot his load all over your head while humping up in your mammas pussy during a Masonic incestuous semi-paedophilic mushroom ritual to give you a hippy baptism so that you could join our sex mad society. And I've been wanking into your shampoo bottles every since." |
Exactly how old is your son, applejack?

17yrs, I have three children. two boys 17 and 10. One girl that is 12, and i recently took custody of my nephews two children, 1 girl that is 5 and another boy that just turned 1yr. so I guess i have five, not sure if the nephew will ever get his shit together enough to regain custody

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.

hehe, na she got it by accident, we had made her nachos kid friendly, but she kept trying to grab one of our nachos. hehe.

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 |
