Waldo Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 First sentence: First words and sentences are always a big deal to parents. The first combination of words that actually encompass a single thought, that could be considered a sentence, from kiddo: "Poo poo stinks" 3yo, upon discovering that yes, in fact, he DOES like pizza "I like pizza, pizza makes me dance" Child proceeds to dance every time he eats pizza for several weeks. Child, after attempting fruitlessly to clean his room for 20 minutes or so: "Mommy, I have too many toys" Hit record on phone "Say that again" "I have too many toys" cut audio to a quick easy to play clip, and pin it to phone "desktop" At Target a few days later. Epic meltdown over not getting ___ ensues. Press play "I have too many toys" Child stops tantrum and looks confused. Play again "I have too many toys" Kiddo starts laughing "daaadddddy, I was just kidding" "Yay, I have a uterus and no sperm!" We went to the library. My youngest took out a "Where Babies Come From" book. It's extremely educational. Le sigh, our poor confused child. The only thing he knows about babymaking is via our interaction with the fertility doc and discussion with him. His current undertanding is that mom lays eggs for the doctor, which the doctor then puts in mommy's tummy to make a baby. Someday we are going to have to explain that that isn't how it usually works. 4 Quote currently cutting battle log challenges: 21,20, 19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 don't panic!

Elennare Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Does stuff said in the car count? While driving with the family on Sunday. Little Bug (who is 3 1/2) has a hot chocolate. I pull out of the driveway of the shopping center we were just at, and go over a very large bump at the end of it. Some hot chocolate splashes out of the cup. Him: *whiny* Moooom, you spilled my chocolate!Me: Sorry, couldn't really do anything else there.Him: *matter-of-factly* It's ok. Maybe you'll learn to drive next time. I still don't think it's all that funny, but figured those not attempting to raise said child would get a kick out of it. Husband was trying really hard not to laugh, so apparently it's pretty entertaining when not directed at you (I'm really not that upset over it, I was just not having a particularly good morning, and that was just the icing on the cake for the day). Both of us are still puzzled where he got that from, because neither one of us have said anything like it! 4 Quote Wood Elf Waywatcher Mandalorian (Assassin/Ranger hybrid) Link to comment
Harbard Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 My wife and I are shameless so we often sing at the top of our lungs to get the toddlers to eat. The other day, for variety, we started tandem beat-boxing, complete with Fat Boys-style breath-honks. Now my son (who is 15 months old) goes around the house all day going "Ah-poooom, Ah-pooom, Ah-poooom!"Makes a daddy proud... 1 Quote Introduction | Workout Log | First Challenge | Current Challenge Link to comment

Waldo Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Not heard for a few years now, but I think what my wife and I call pouty talk is the absolute funniest thing there is. Pouty talk occurs during the gap between when the child starts to really have strong emotions and when they can communicate in even rudimentary coherent words. An angry baby yelling in baby babble. Whenever it occurred we through it was an absolute riot. 1 Quote currently cutting battle log challenges: 21,20, 19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 don't panic! Link to comment

An angry baby yelling in baby babble. Whenever it occurred we through it was an absolute riot. I'm waiting for it. There's a few youtube videos out there of a dad yelling back and forth with the baby and holding a conversation", the baby's side consisting completely of this.

Harbard Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 My 16 month old daughter has started forming her own sentences. I usually make breakfast (oatmeal and fruit) for her and her brother, but Mommy took a turn the other day, and then made the hand-off to me half way through. After Mommy walked away, the little squirt looked up at me and said "Iz nah good."I snickered, and told myself I wouldn't tell Momma about that one. Then later, I told her anyway. I'm a jerk.
