To think the child is planning something?

He has been great all day. He didn't wake til 9am! Yes, 9am! Normally I'm lucky if he sleeps til 6am.

He has eaten all his breakfast and didn't whinge about the colour bowl I gave him or even the colour of the spoon.

He asked 'mum, can I watch SpongeBob please?' instead of his usual act of putting it on his self and pressing buttons on the remote til he loses his temper.

He put all his toys away when asked and helped tidy the living room.

He is now sat on his Buzz Lightyear chair with a glass of juice watching SpongeBob in silence while holding his baby. No strange questions been asked, no joke telling, no whinging and just no toddlerisms at all!

I feel like its the calm before the storm. So what is he planning?

Has the post been yet? Maybe he is expecting the latest part from the WMD he is building under his bed and is trying to distract you.

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 15/08/2013 11:00

Have you checked all the rooms in the house? Is there any chance that he has already done whatever you think he might be plotting, and is just trying to gloss over it? Bathroom isn't covered in mascara? Twenty loo rolls unrolled all over the stairs? Dog not missing half the fur on it's body?

SPsTotallyMullerFuckingLicious · 15/08/2013 11:00

The post has been. He got it from the letter box and brought it to me with out demanding I tell him what it says or trying to open it!

Something is occurring! I can feel it, he is up to something.

I wonder if he can sense my suspicion

Hop I went for a quick inspection as he was playing in his room earlier for a bit on his own.

There is nothing! Even the cars he was playing with are back in their tub and not laid all over waiting for me to stand on.

He isn't planning anything.

He's already done it........ You just need to find it.

My own personal experience would tell me to look for brown sauce in the sock drawer, baby sisters with experimental hair cuts and pages from your favourite book glued to the wall with Marmite.

Good luck Grin

Drink an extra large coffee and be on your guard! It all sounds very suspicious!

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 15/08/2013 11:02

Or a sneaky poo left in your favourite handbag?

dexter73 · 15/08/2013 11:03

He has been swapped like in the Invasion of the Bodysnatchers!

TantrumsAndBalloons · 15/08/2013 11:04

He has already done whatever it is.

And you won't find it by looking for it. You will find it when you are least expecting it. And you haven't got time to deal with it.

DaddyPigsMistress · 15/08/2013 11:04

The police will be knocking after lunch. Hes getting you onside before they turn up...

Pozzled · 15/08/2013 11:04

Oh dear... Have you taken his temperature? And checked the location of vital objects such as your wallet/mobile/keys?

YouTheCat · 15/08/2013 11:06

Have you checked all the toiletries? Is the loo strangely 'bubbly'?

JeffActually · 15/08/2013 11:07

SP when did 'the toddler' become 'the child'?
It doesn't sound right....not that I expect you to call him 'the toddler' until he's 20 Grin

Cockadoodlemoo · 15/08/2013 11:09

Be afraid....

SPsTotallyMullerFuckingLicious · 15/08/2013 11:11

Since he told me off for actually calling him 'the toddler' accidently. He answers to child though.

There is nothing, my bag is shit free with my purse in it, my phone is in my hand and house key is up high where even I can barely reach it.

Kitchen is damage free, I have checked in the dish washer, washer and dryer and no foul play. His bowl and spoon are in the dish washer though! Shock

Bathroom and toilet room are also free of shenanigans.

There is something up though. I can sense it.

MrsHoarder · 15/08/2013 11:13

I think the clue is in your title. He has become 'the child' and is moving out of the difficult toddler stage.

SaucyJack · 15/08/2013 11:14

He's pissed in your designer birthday and Christmas only kitten heels.

Sorry.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 15/08/2013 11:14

He's been busy growing up overnight Sad

YouTheCat · 15/08/2013 11:16

In that case, he has learned the art of biding his time purely to make you nervous.

And it's working. Mwahahaha Grin

Ezza1 · 15/08/2013 11:16

Enjoy while it lasts.

Mine has already covered the cat in jam and downloaded a load of crap toddler games on my phone rendering it a bit useless until I can sort it. Again.

I am desperately trying to keep him away from the decorators and their big tubs of wallpaper paste. Wouldn't put it past him to paste the cat to the wall.

NoComet · 15/08/2013 11:17

Be very afraid

If it was DD1 either there was writing on the wall, somewhere in the house or she'd spotted something to climb. Once she'd lulled me in to not watching too closely she'd be up on the furniture trying to get something, usually a pen, I thought I'd hidden.

WilsonFrickett · 15/08/2013 11:19

Where are your car keys?

Hint - try the toilet first...

SPsTotallyMullerFuckingLicious · 15/08/2013 11:19

I dont own designer anything so that isn't a worry Grin

He is 4 in a few month and starting nursery next month.

MrsHoarder How long does this last for? I feel very uncomfortable Grin

He isn't spilling any of his juice!

ThePosterBelowMeSucks · 15/08/2013 11:19

Has he had a bump on the head? All sounds very suss to me. You must update and let us know the outcome of this strange behavior!

SPsTotallyMullerFuckingLicious · 15/08/2013 11:21

Wilson I dont drive so no issue for me. I did toilet check earlier when suspected he had done something to his bedroom.

He is just sat watch TV with his baby. He will laugh occasionally.
