To brag on MN

[alowVera]

i can't help it, my dd(3) has just growled said "i love you" for the first time ever! She has signed it before, but never ever said it. (Granted she followed it with smacking me in the face with her shoe, but I'm not complaining)

YANBU - That is lovely :)

[Tiredtrout]

That's lovely and yadnbu to boast about nice things your kids do

[joric]

alow!!! You just brag away!! That's fab! :)

[AgentZigzag]

YANBU

[joric]

Have you got any ice to put on your face ? :)

[alowVera]

:) now just need her to say mummy and my life will be complete.

[AuntieMonica]

not at all, that's not bragging, that's just lovely

[NorksAreMessy]

One of the very most non-nesty and un-vipery bits of MN is that we are all absolutely delighted for you.

Boast away!

[CardyMow]

My DS2 first said Mummy at 3yrs 7months - after not having ever spoken before, and after a year of intensive speech therapy. Fast forward another 4 years...and I threatened to sellotape his mouth shut* earlier if he didn't stop talking for 2 minutes. You have just reminded me to stop, smell the roses, cast my mind back a few years, and be VERY thankful that he can talk at all.

*Disclaimer I wouldn't REALLY sellotape his mouth shut.

Well done alowVera's DD.

:o

[NorksAreMessy]

loudlass especially as duct tape is so much better at the job.
You made me laugh and go and hug my own DS, thank you

[alowVera]

Lol at NaM and Loudlass. Agreed duct tape is better as it's wider and stickier.
I can't get Sellotape to stick to anything!

[NorksAreMessy]

alow did you try and get her to say it again so that it wasn't your imagination? I am so pleased for you

[alowVera]

I did; that's when she smacked me in the face with her shoe. She wont say it again for months now.

[worraliberty]

Awww that's just so lovely

And sorry but pmsl at the shoe smacking

[joric]

Still loving this thread! :)

[DontCallMePeanut]

YANBU! And that's so lovely!

DS (3.5) has taken to telling me he "loves me more" and carrying on til I stop arguing...

[youarekidding]

YADNBU. That's wonderful.

Can't help thinking the shoe smack was code for 'mum, I've just said it once, don't push it.'

loudlass electrical tape is the stickiest thing around. Lovely post though, really heartfelt.

Parents who counter-brag piss me off, but as the boy I am going to mention is not mine, not even blood-related, but DW?s cousin?s GS (work it out for yourselves) I?m going to allow myself this one. He is 2y 7m. DW and I sent to see his mother and she and DW dropped me a hint to take him out to the garden so they could talk. So I put his shoes and socks and jacket on, and he said, without prompting ?Thank you. You did that very well?.

Gorgeous or what?

[joric]

Andrew :)

[giyadas]

[alowVera]

youarekidding, I completely agree. was very much a pah i ain't saying it again kind of shoe smack
