If your child was a World Champion in something, what would it be?

[ghosty]

I think this is in the right category for this thread ... it is to do with behaviour and development ...

DS has mastered the fine art of the "Underarm Fart" ... He got the film 'Robots' for Christmas and then has spent the last 2 weeks fine tuning his fart noise skills.

I am sure if there was a World Championship for Underarm Fart Noises my incredibly gifted son would be in the running for the gold medal.

Sigh ... I am so proud

dd1-door slamming(teenager in training!)
dd2 -staying awake (can't wait to get her back to school!)

dd would be a world champion tongue manipulator - she has inherited her father's incredibly long one - when she's older I'm sure she'll be able to do that cherry-stalk-knotting trick form Twin Peaks.
ds will one day be a world class mountaineer - or at least a world class falling off-er

ds1 - being "super", keeps saying "I'm super" and then runs away (I think he got it off Lazytown on Nick Jr).

ds2 - hoarding buses and postal vans (likes to sleep with his collection of toy buses and Postman Pat vans).

Dd is definitely the world champion Cat Tormenter. Poor thing takes one look at her and scarpers out the cat flap.

PMSL at these ... excellent
Hornbag ... perhaps I can teach DS how to play a love song with his underarm farts for your DD ... I am fed up with the alphabet song, twinkle twinkle little star and happy birthday
We went round the Auckland Museum yesterday followed by very realistic fart noises. He stood behind an old lady, did his 'thing' then when people looked round he stood there innocently so of course they all suspected her

DD would be a rival of yours for the gold medal in Cat Tormenting, Surfermum ...
She is also a fully qualified, world class whinger and tale teller (even though she is not yet 2 and can't actually talk properly, she still tries to tell tales on her brother)

Burping the Alphabet!

Knowing all the words to certain DVD's.

LOL at the museum antics -a match made in heaven ghosty! Any toilet humour is a sure-fire hit!

PMSL - burping the alphabet, Milliways. Quality!

talking constantly all day long
saying "whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
wailing for no particular reason

DS1 - asking bloody awkward questions - eg outside Sainsburys on Christmas Eve with a £250 shop and no car to get it home, he pipes up "Mummy, have you met God? What's he like?"

DS2 - making being really fat look adorable. If I had saddlebags like his no-one would look at me, but people just want to squidge his!!!

DD1-talking
DD2-arguing
DD3-b/feeding. The child never misses a chance

DS1 Annoying his little brother
DS2 Pretending to have been upset by big brother.

DS(13)slamming doors & stomping up the stairs muttering.

DD(19months) screaming & rolling around on the floor.

i dont know which is worse!

1. Falling over

2. Getting bumps on her head 3. Bottom lip wobbling 4. Jumping up and down on the spot 5. Longest time spent eating lunch (45+ minutes for a bowl of soup) 6. Whinging 7. Hugs

DS rules supreme at having an answer for absolutely everything, apparently I was the same aged 4!

For dd it would have to be histrionics. Or are all 4/5 year old girls like this?

whinging!! both of them..joint champions!

dd (9) whinging and moaning when life is not 100% to her liking.

Also asking excellent questions

ds (5) Running round like a mad thing, shouting and yelling

Also giving wonderful hugs

picking up stuff off the floor and eating it!

Jess - pretend crying

Becky - smelly farts!

ds1 the longest ever time taken to get dressed (he's even better if you add obstacles such as the need to get to work/nursery)

ds2 standing, standing, standing, standing, standing, standing

DS2 - eating cake
DS1 - the very nearly 4 year old with the loudest whinge whenever something happens that he's not 100% delighted about
