We usually brag about our kids....

MommyToAshley wrote: I love the brags... I always like to hear those posts that talk about our kid's accomplishments, milestones, and the funny things they do.

But, I thought it would be fun to hear the latest things our kiddos have done that just make us go

So, let's hear those stories.

MommyToAshley replied: OK, here's Ashley's latest...

Ashley comes running in to me and tells me that Baby Bottle is all wet. Baby bottle is what she named her very first baby she got as a present from my Mom. I asked her how she got wet, and she told me, "Come look, she fell!" So, I go look, and yup, you guessed it... Baby Bottle is in the toilet.

I asked Ashley why she put Baby Bottle in the toilet and Ashley replied "because she said she had to go pee pee RIGHT NOW!" Then she said, "Baby Bottle fell off Dora and Boots!" (She has a Dora and Boots potty seat that we just call Dora and Boots)

kimberley replied: lol too funny


Jade...
- why is the toilet a fun place to play?
- why are my shoes a fun place to hide small, hard objects?
- why oh why, sweet baby girl can you be sound asleep beside me but the second i move, you are a screaming banshee?


James...
- why don't you ever TELL ME what you want instead of screaming and slamming doors?
-why do you put all your clothes on backwards still? don't your underwear feel weird like that?
-why don't you use TP????


Jacob...
- why can you not remember anything at all.. even something we just talked about?
-why is flushing such a foreign concept???
-why does one sentence take 40 minutes to say?

mummy2girls replied: OMG Kim that is too funny!
Dee Dee Ashley is a card:)

Jenna has a booster set that has a tray that snaps in front of her. so i let her sit in the living room to eat as all my chairs in the house seems to be busted except my comp one... and she as this thing where she sits in it waits until im all seated down and eating when she decides she wants out. I get her out and then i sit back down and YUp she wants becak in. im at this point telling her hun you sit and eat and if you weant out thats it your out and no more...!

3xmommy replied: OKAY.

Just today... let me tell ya.

Alright.. Jeremy got a stick outside and decided how fun it will be to poke his older sister in the side with it. Hard. She turns around and flaps the heck out of him. He comes running asking me to spank her since she hit him. Hello? LOL. Needless to say, time-out. (they hate time-out)

Hailey has an earthworm. She loves them... no clue why. She'll pack one around and just talk and coo to it... (yes, i realize, too gross... but well. i dont know.) and so Tasha <oldest> grabs her little worm and runs like a bat out of hell and gives it to one of our chickens. That threw Hailey into a fit of hysterics... her world was over for a good five minutes!!

And you know what? A few nice questions I'd LOVE to ask my children but more than likely will not...

1. Why do you insist on trying to kill one another? (they really do try... it's awful)
2. To Jeremy, who is 4... when will you learn how to wipe your rump? (he goes potty and then runs like crazy to me or my mom hollering "wipe my butt!")

3. Hailey. Why oh why oh why do you keep trying to pick the chickens up by their necks? They holler and scream and yet you still run with them... with me trailing behind!
4. Hailey again. What was the point of dumping out an entire JUMBO bag of Lay's potatoe chips in my kitchen floor?

ARGH

Celestrina replied: The other day Ben was rubbing his nose, walked over and handed me a (well, I'm sure you can guess what he gave me). Naturally he had a big smile on his face. Mabye someone can answer a question - why do boys find boogers and passing gas so funny?

kel replied: kira has started hopping around the house (on all fours like a rabbit) making a "rrrbit" noise..her daddy asked her if she likes "being a rabbit?" and she says "no daddee ,teera(kira) a foggy!(frog)" no idea where she got that from and.. she does it ALL day..and i mean ALL day

kel replied: oh and she has also taken to waking us up by pulling the duvet/covers off of us and saying"get up i want tea!"

DansMom replied: Daniel's had some unusual emotional reactions lately. I'm not talking about tantrums. The strangest example is that he cries at the end of Baby Beethoven, which he's long outgrown---it's just music and images, no story line, and the end is quite benign, just the sound of cheering and confetti falling on a cute spider toy. As soon as the credits appear, he emotes big time. He asks to see it again, then he cries at the end again. Not just whimpers and simpers, but gushing tears and grimacing and sobbing. When he knows the end is approaching, he says "mama" in a querelous voice and reaches out for me. When I ask him to explain, he can't. He just cries and cries. He doesn't cry at the end of any other video, and it doesn't seem like fear---it's something else, like sadness that it has ended, but maybe not that.

With his musical and emotional abilities, he's bound to end up in theater, which means I'll be supporting him long after college

jcc64 replied: Well, with Corey- it's the chronic, plaintive cries of "POOPY!" in any and every public place we enter.
With Noah, it's his constant inability to remember anything relevant to schoolwork, although he can and does recite arcane and useless professional sports statistcs ad nauseum.
And with Alec, it would have to be the time he "accidentally" turned the cell phone off exactly at the time we were to make contact with him at Disney World about how and where to meet up at closing time. (Once all the rides shut down, the phone "magically" turned on again!)

JAYMESMOM replied: We got our new puppy (Baby Scooby) on Friday and Jayme has taken to crying every time he comes near me. She does not want "Her Mommy" giving him attention - yet she will go up and pet him and then when she is done say "NO Scooby" and push him away.

She hasn't figured out why he isn't listening. She has also taken to calling him baby and will sit in our recliner and lean over the edge calling Baby, Baby and then freak out when he comes running.


I have also caughter her trying to drink from the dog bowl, eat a dog treat, chewing his rag toy, trying to chew his rawhide, giving him her toys and then screaming, and trying to put my lipstick (pretties) on his lips.

I haven't quite figured out who is the bigger handful.


What I would love to ask my dear son

Why oh why can you behave at school when you are getting something but the other days you can't?

How can you remember all the television shows but forget to clean your room?

How can you know every kid in schools name (almost) but can't remember your spelling words?

and lastly

Why do you put dirty clothes under your bed and back in your dresser? Do you really want to wear nasty stuff?

My2Beauties replied: Ms Hanna Marie,

Why must you come behing mommy once she has picked up toys off the floor and throw them right back onto the floor?

Why must you "drink" from your bowl that has food in it only to get the food all over your face, hair, the floor, and your clothes (new clothes at that)?

Why must you blow snot out of your nose and come wipe it on mommy's shirt?

Why must you constantly grab things mommy has told you not to grab a thousand and one times?

Why must you take every single can out of the kitchen cabinet and throw them on the floor?

Why must you fight mommy and daddy when it's time for bed?

Why must you dig in the garbage can for "buried treasures?"

Why must you pick every single little bitty thing up off the floor and proceed to stick it in your mouth and cause mommy to have a heart attack?

I'm sure I'll think of more later, but in the meantime can you answer these questions for me?



Sincerely,

Mommy

PS Nomatter what zany thing you think of next, remember, I love you anyway sweetie!

kimberley replied:
LOL! i thought Jade was the only weirdo who did this!

her and Hanna are a lot alike

JAYMESMOM replied:
Jayme does the same thing - unfortunately she got it from me because I drink my milk from my cereal bowl after I eat it. OOPS

Oh yeah and for the cans if we were a supermarket we would have a huge discount bin for dents.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Maddie:
-Never stops talking....and I do mean NEVER
-Talking back... UGH!!
-Doesn't listen or mind (especially when daddy is around)
-still won't go to bed when I tell her to (she has to wait up for daddy b/c he gives her everything she wants)
-doesn't eat anything to speak of
-doesn't wipe correctly

Ethan:
-is so messy....makes a mess of him and everything he touches
-never stops whining
-gets into things he shouldn't
-plays in the toilet!
-never STOPS eating

My2Beauties replied:
OMg it drives me batty when she does this, I'm like girl can't you see that this is a bowl and not a cup and you can't drink food?? Silly kids!

coasterqueen replied: The things Kylie does that makes me go are:

- She repeats things a bazillion times even though I let her know I heard it the first time.
-She poops more on a daily basis than I think any one in the universe.
-She screams instead of talks (this could be the result of her mother though. )
-She can never just eat her food, she has to play with it and make the biggest mess ever.
_I have to add that one thing I think she does that is annoying but very cute is she has to say bye to anything in the toilet. She has to say "bye poop, bye pee, bye frogs (farts)" every time she goes so she gets mad if I accidently flush before she says these things.


The only things Megan does lately that annoys me (but is normal) is she bobbles her head back and forth on my breast when she's starving and she doesn't stop. Why don't they know that if they just calm down and start sucking that they won't have to starve any more? Why do they have to do the bobble thing? Hee hee.

Mylilprincesses replied: Olivia, at barely three, is already SO anal. She absolutely refuses to use the same silverware for multiple things (for ex. she'll need one spoon for potatoes, one for fruit, one for veggies, etc.) and it is SUCH a pain cause she'll flip out if I don't adhere to this .
She hates wearing pants (she'll rip off her bottoms, whether it be capris, pants, shorts or skirt as SOON as we walk in the door)- what's the big deal about bottoms?? , she's forever squirting the ENTIRE container of soap onto her hands in the bathroom when washing (even when I try to catch it- she's quick ), she's forever taking my cell phone and playing with it (to the point where she usually loses it somewhere and forgets where she left it and I have to go from room to room calling it to see if I can hear it she doesn't listen to a THING Mom has to say when Dad's around .....the list could go on. She's so wacky sometimes!

Ava's not into her annoying stage yet at only four months However, she's becoming a big hair puller!

PanthersGirl replied: I don't have children YET...but this has been a JOY to read!!!

Very entertaining!!!
