Things I LOVE about toddlerhood!

[*TLC*]

I am going to move this to the toddler board so it can be continued 

 

[GG]

The simple pleasures.  I have a bowl soaking in the sink with h2o and soap.  Charlotte has been playing with it and a spoon for the last 20 minutes.  Why have I not done this sooner?  Clean bowl, happy toddler!  (silly mama!!)

I would love for my lo's to enjoy playing with water in the sink. Unfortunately it never stays in the sink or in the near vicinity.   And, somehow, dd always finds something that I would prefer she not be playing with that I had not noticed before.

I love how her language is now. She's learning new words by the dozens, but somehow always manages to cut off the first syllable lol!

Also, suddenly everything is "Wa sat?" Sounds sooooo sweet in portuguese!

[Freya'sMum]

Likewise, Eryn copies all words said to her, which is so lovely as Freya didn't say anything till she was 2.5 years so we missed this whole learning to talk phase (she just spoke in sentences one day )...

...but I came here to post this particular one that she's learned from my mum who says:

"excuse me please - beep beep" (I guess a bit like a car horn when you want someone to move) so Eryn just does the "beep beep" bit quite insistently when she wants you to move out of the way!

for me the favourite thing is how we've become like best friends (most of the time) chatting away and sharing jokes and finding out about life.  I even love the ten million WHY we have a day because I usually manage to turn it round to ask her a question after a few answers.

I am so glad this thread is still going. I really need it these days.

I love that I have all you ladies to remind me, when I can't think of anything, why I love toddlerhood.
Thanks

Last night we were driving home and it was raining. Colin says "It's raining! That's water on your head!"  I about ran off the road I was laughing so hard! 

[LisbonMom]

The other day I was drying yp after my daily shower when dd2 comes in the bathroom. She points at my privates and makes her "dislike" face  .

I wanted to burst out laughing right then and there, but instead just asked her if she didn't like it, and she replied no. She'll get there, but lol anyways!

[Colin Macs Mom]

ROFL - that's like when I'm getting out of the shower or changing and Colin points and says "EEEWWWWWWWW!"

[LisbonMom]

Right on Jess - just give him a few (maybe not so few) years! LOL!!!!!

[Colin Macs Mom]

   He's not dating until he's 48!

[LisbonMom]

ROFL - are you sure you got those numbers right? Not 84?

Hi..this is a great thread....

oscar is at the stage of trying to name colours but calls red -po, green -bipsy, purple/blue - tinitini and yellow - la la....you've guessed it....too much teletubbies...but he is recognising and differentiating colours....

and everything is one of these categories- sick, broke (broken) work (meaning fixed), sa (sad), sca (scared) , pappy (happy)... this evening we visited my in laws and saw that FIL's car was not in the garden...so I presumed he was not home. Turns out he was at home, just the car is in for a service and to have a few things fixed....so Oscar began talking to him, saying blah blah car....sick....broke.....dziadzia (Polish for Grandad).....car....blah...blah....doctor,.....work......Of course, my 74 year old first time grandad FIL just rolled his eyes till I translated for him...and he was then amazed, or so he said.

Boys and their machines!!!
love it!

You think you have worries...!

My two were playing a game of 'boys' in the bath which involved them holding a toy knife (from their teaset) perpendicular to their girlie bits, shrieking with laughter, and (Freya) saying "look mummy, we've got willies!"

Classic Freudian penis envy if you ask me!
