I love talking about my little one!

Though currently I spent almost seven hours in ER with her this morning. She woke up vomiting and with a high fever and we have a nasty flu, strep and ear infections going around. Luckily she has none of the above, however she does have a UTI and an impacted bowel. Between Omniceft and quadruple Miralax, I will be one busy camper.

Oh no but at least it's nothing too serious, although I know anything is serious when it comes to our own kids
Will be thinking of you

My wife and I were having a morning "snuggle" when my 7 year old decided she wanted to be the cream filling in our love cookie. I've gotten very good at laying of my stomach during these interruptions.

OMG! I can't tell you how many mornings I have had the same thing happen. On on each side of me while hubby is tring to "snuggle"!

 

[Britwitch]

Very wrong, but some are very funny!

This sounds like a complaint, but it isn't .... just had my first teenage temper tantrum from my 11 year old daughter .... on her cell phone, asking to go to the mall with a friend. "No today darling." Argues, stomps up the stairs, slams her bedroom door. Unfortunately i had a hard time not giggling the entire time at her. She was adorable.

My lil girl is 1 next saturday.
The year went by so fast...

She and her big bro (he's 3) are usually at extremes of either end of the spectrum-
Love each other dearly and playing well...
...or out to destroy each other's stuff just because.

Though I will say Big Bro is good at being big bro when it comes to Sis and people he's unfamiliar with. SUPER protective. Was yelling at one of my aunts he rarely sees when she picked up & walked away with Baby Girl. "Gimme back mah sistah! Dont know you, dont know you!"

Does anyone else find themselves stifling laughs on pronounciations of words with Toddler Accents? Lil Guy sounds like he's from Boston. And tipsy.
I have to quickly explsin what he's said around others if he says "stick", "sonic", or "percy".

OMG, this made me laugh!! This happens to us with monotonous regularity, and when we lock the door, its difficult to focus on what you doing while calling out:

"Go on down stair, and watch tv/ eat cereal etc etc and we'll be down in a minute!!"

We were away a little while ago, with just the two youngest, who were sharing a hotel room with us. It was quite large, L shaped with the kids in one part of the L & us in the other. Hubby woke at 5 in the morning feeling frisky, so we were getting it on, nice and quietly, and assumed no one was any the wiser. A couple of hours later, at a crowded train station the older of the two who was 7 at the time pipes up in that tone that carries miles that only kids seem to have and exclaimed:-

"Mummy, why was Daddy on top of you this morning?"

Of course, this got EVERYONE's attention. Thinking quickly, I smiled indulgently, and replied loud enough to allay everyone's suspicions

"Oh, you mean when he gave me a massage? That was for Momma's sore back!"

"Then why were you on your hands and knees????!"

People didn't even TRY to pretend they hadn't heard. Loads of people started sniggering, and a couple of people clapped, and I didn't want to get on the F***ing train when it got there, as I was crimson, hubby picked up our youngest, and pretended his wasn't with us!!!!!!

"Wow, that is just hilarious. It sounds like something right out of a movie script. Your seven year old had a remarkable sense of timing for that one." Grins "I'm sympathetic to your embarrassment but that is absolutely classic, darlin'."

 

[philos]

Love it! Kids need to know mom and dad are in love. Maybe not so graphicly but it's better than the opposite.

Oh Sally I feel for you...!! Excellent timing though on his part

We get all kinds of statements from the kids at work about what they've seen their parents doing...and it's so hard to meet some of them in the eye when they come to pick the kids up when we've been told about the size and appearance of certain appendages

 

[yeishia]

That one made me laugh Sally.

Baby Brit pulled herself up to stand today, for the first time and then...did it again!!

My daughter finally managed to spell out several sentences in a row last week.

Might not sound like much, since she's 6 years old. However, she was born deaf. Luckily her twin brother seems to have some kind of special bond with her, since he somehow knows exactly what she wants to say.
It's kinda bizarre..

A Valentine For Mothers

On Valentine's Day we just wanted to say
We love you, dear mom, in every possible way.

While juggling diaper bags, toys, and sippy cups
You still make room for the hands-raised "pick me up"

Your kiss has the power to heal every boo-boo
And you've cleaned up far more than your fair share of doo-doo

Oh, the questions you've answered, the stories you've told!
Though exhausting at times, we agree, it never gets old

Your job is the most important on earth
A great mom was born on the day you gave birth

My little Starkiller (i say this because he looks just like the little boy Vader 'adopted' in The Force: Unleashed) has been talking back to me LOL

The other day I told him, "Listen to me, I said we'll go there later"

Then he tells me, "Well, listen to me, I want to go there now."

Which leaves me "...."

I wouldn't have ever dreamed of saying something like that to my mother, I would have been executed

 

[Alana_]

Oh I get stuff like that from my youngest. Example.

''Keep that up and I'm taking away your playstation''

and he'll come in quiet calmly.

''do it''.


and I'm stuck cause I want tears and promises of good behavior, so I 'do it', and it gets absolutely no reaction. He'll just stroll around hands behind his back, head in the air and wait me out. It's like living with a ninja lol.

He's 4, what can you do? LOL

It took a lot not to laugh

Zy, here's something you can say to people when they tell you what they 'want'.

"You can put all your 'wants' in one hand, and shit in the other, and see which hand fills up first!"

Of course, you can't say it to your child until he's older, I suppose. But it's great fun to use on demanding adults. (Geez, the things I learned from a soldier's mouth!)

Zy, i understand that completely .... sometimes it is so hard not to laugh.

When my daughter was about 4 she didn't to take a bath (but of course she took one because i made her) and as i was drying her off after she was still crying and screaming hysterically "I ... DON'T .... WANT ... TO .... TAKE ... A ... BATH" and i lost it in giggles. My poor children - they get hysterical and I struggle to swallow my laughter.

its not as bizarre as you think... i know that i used to speak for my sister when she was really little, she never had to speak as i would say what she needed and how she was feeling... But that is a special bond, encourage it and never discourage it.

I'm a ridiculously proud mother and (as you may have noticed with my posts all over the Lounge) I like to talk about them often. I hope you don't mind my (possibly frequent) posts about the Little Men in my life, pretty Miss Witch.

I have two little boys, a couple of little snuggle bugs.

My eldest is 6 (6.5, if you ask him - apparently these half years are important to the little ones, who knew?) and he started school this year. So far he's absolutely loving Kindergarten, and he's at the top of his class in pretty much every aspect (particularly reading, though). He loves all sorts of music - though he always goes back to Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry for a favorite. Like most kids his age, he loves cartoons - Pokemon in particular. He's a country boy through and through, and he loves to romp around in the dirt like a boy. From nearly the day he was born, he made little 'ooh and aah' noises like a monkey - so we've been affectionately calling him Monkey ever since.

My youngest is 3 (though he's very soonly 4) and he absolutely loves having his brother in school now. He likes having the extra time without having to share his toys, and he likes the extra time with Daddy and I, I think. He is a very stubborn child who knows exactly what he wants and isn't shy about making sure that he finds a way to get it. He loves playing outside (especially if it involves climbing something) and he loves to dance to anything about We Are Kings (though particularly Check Yes Juliet.) He absolutely adores watching Daddy and Mommy play Guitar Hero or Rock Band - but he really, really likes playing Mario Kart on the Wii. He's got a hard little head, and he likes to charge at you and duck his head to headbutt - and thusly he earned the affectionate nickname of Rhino. We keep joking he's a linebacker in the making. ^_^ He too shares a love for Pokemon with his brother, and a seriously strong love for eating noodles, any sort of noodles.

So much of my heart is taken up by these Little Men that it's amazing there's room for anything or anyone else. I certainly hope I don't bore any of you with my stories of pride and children-induced smiles.



Oh, and Baby Brit is just too adorable, Miss Witch! I'm a wee bit paranoid at the idea of posting pictures of my little ones here for everyone to see - but I might be inclined to PM you a photo or two of them if'n you'd like to have a peek at them. ^_^

My eldest boy came home from school today with a note that just made me beam from ear to ear. The teacher says:

'I feel that it is in his best interest that I provide him with additional reading above and beyond the "basic" Kindergarten curriculum.'

Furthermore, he's been given a First-Grade Reading Buddy that he's going to read to a few times a week.

That's my boy!
