So the other day I was lecturing Colin sternly about why I say "No" to keep him safe and why it's important that he listen when we say that. In the middle of my speech he leaned up and kissed me.  ;D 

Clever boy ;) ;D

I love this thread so much, let's never let it get buried.

The way he puckers up for a kiss, and then says 'icky' afterwards. Then goes back for another one :D

I love how Gaby's standard answer for any meal or snack is 'cookie'. Our day sounds like this...

"Gaby, would you like toast for breakfast?"   "No, tookie peeeeas"
"Gaby, would you like ronis for lunch?"    "No, tookie peeeeas"
"Gaby, would you like an apple?"   "No, tookie peeeeeas"

Well Freya might be too old to be considered a toddler, so I reckon Eryn might be considered too young to be one, but anyhow... I just love the way that she calls any animal or bird 'cat' and any food 'more', and also how she gives our cat kisses and giggles when the furr tickles her nose!

Don't know how I missed this before but loving it!! ;D

When Nate gets cross at birds at shouts "Naaaaaaaaa" at them
The amazing excitement over seeing an aeroplane - "ooooh oooh plane plane - mama mama plane"
The way he dances and runs round with glee when Thomas the tank engine comes on - "Choo Choo mummy mummy Choo Choo"
When he gets cross with his big sis - "NO Nana (can't quite say Anna :)) Naaarggh " followed by a big raspberry!!
When he can't wait to see big sis in the morning - Nana? Nana? and when I tell him shes still asleep  - he puts his finger to his lips and goes sshhhh - really loud just outside her door and wakes her up  ::) ;D
Watching them both interact - all the time he totally copies her - Monkey see monkey do!!
Watching how Anna looks after him  - "careful Nathan hot" near the tea, and after we had work done by the builders and they didn't clean up well >:( she carefully brought in any nails she found saying "No Nathan sharp"
When Daddy gets home and lies down on the floor Anna will shout"pile on!" and they will both go and jump on him  ;D
Gorgeous big toddler and preschooler hugs and kisses and sleepy cuddles when they lay their head on your shoulder - priceless!

I could go on forever but I'd better stop!!!

Dave was putting aloe vera on my sunburn.  All at once there was another little hand gently helping.  Of course, I melted!!!

aw jenn, that makes me melt too!

theron's developed a few new traits that make me smile  ;D

every bite of food has to be offered to the fan, the cat, and the trees outside, before he eats it.

he has "happy feet" -- stomping his right foot when he's so tickled by something he can't contain it. his hands kind of go crazy too.

he's started putting things "nigh-nigh" -- getting me to kiss his toys good night and laying them in bed and covering them up. yesterday i found him in the bathroom -- he'd laid his little dinosaurs down in a row and was kissing each one in turn  :-*

he has this fervent full body shake for a nod yes. if he does it in his crib (as he did last night when is asked him "do you just want mama to stay here till you fall asleep?  ::) :-[ ), the whole crib shakes.

he's so into our family unit. if i'm at work, he constantly asks DH where i am. if DH is out of the room, he constantly asks me where he is. the only time he's quiet is when we're all doing something together like eating or brushing our teeth!

i know there was another one  ;D

keep 'em coming!

I love all the stories!  ;D ;D

Paul has recently started to give kisses. You know, those sloppy and wet ones that melt my heart...

I've plenty more, but we have to run now...

OK who's going to sticky this one for us so we don't lose it?



The way he makes me laugh:

- totally ruined bedtime tonight b/c as I was leaving the room, I thanked him for a lovely day (we went shopping, he was an angel ;)). He said 'nice day, Mummy', and I said 'yes, it was a lovely outing'. He looked shocked and said 'it wasn't a mountain, Mummy' (we went up a mountain last week). I laughed, so he kept on teasing me 'silly Mummy, we went to shops not up a mountain' - cue both of us killing ourselves laughing.

He's still giggling about it over the monitor :D

That is funny, Caroline!

Riley is being so cute lately (in between his teething shrieks!)

I was changing his diaper this morning, and kissed him on his cheek when I was finished, and he kept asking for "another one kiss". It totally melted my heart.

He turns two at the end of the month, so I have been practising with him, "How old are you going to be?" and he answers, "2". Yesterday, when I asked him, he answered "4" and then burst out laughing. I tickled him and said, "No, you're not going to be 4" and then he said, "5?". Cue more laughing. Eventually he said two and clapped for himself. He is so clever!!
