to think (in a light hearted way) that kids are BRILLIANT!

[Easywriter]

They just are aren't they? Be they big or small, boy or girl, loud or quiet.

OK you've rumbled me, this is a thread to celebrate great things about children, beginning (ahem!) with my own DD3.

She laughs like a drain, pretty much constantly wears a tutu (her demand!), has the cutest face you've ever seen (especially when it's smeared with chocolate or jam) and is pretty much the most mischeivious thing on two legs that I've ever encountered!!

She makes me .

I don't think IABU, she's brilliant!

So? Your turn...

My DD1 used to insist that she rolled her socks down everyday and wore only leggings.

Her 3 year old sister wore her sisters school uniform to nursery every day

DS2 this evening (only 3 but going on flipping 14) was trying to bate me and DH by answering everything with "YES SIR!!" in a really annoying way. We kept a straight face until he went to bed and then laughed about how vile but cute he had been. He's ace.

I was so GOOD when I was little and I'm glad my Ds's aren't...although I'd never tell them that.

They are fab. TBH, it's only when DD isn't around that I realise how great she is. She was away for the night with the school and both me and DH remarked how dull our house was without her.

I was helping at pre school the other day with my two year old daughter. She suddenly got up and ran off and the boy sitting next to her said in an avuncular manner

"Oy yoy yoy, where are you going to so fast little creature?"

it was brilliant and hilarious

My four month old daughter only laughs at...the theme tune to The Saint!

It makes her laugh, stops her crying, puts her to sleep in seconds...t'is very odd!
