The Funny Things toddlers do - a top ten!

[SantaLucia]

For a bit of light relief on a cold day. Please enter here the stupidest/funniest/craziest thing your dc has ever done.

Its ok to include accidents that shouldn't have been funny but were.

DD nearly 18 months will only sit on her rocking horse whilst holding Nelson Mandela's memoirs - no other book will do. Occasionally she gives him a kiss.

19 month old ds came running towards me the other day waving his hands frantically saying "hiya" in a northern accent (you need to use your imagination here as it could lose in translation) - where he has got that from, I don't know as we live down south!

I've just remembered another funny thing ds2 did when he was 2 or younger (not quite sure).

Our house then had a seperate loo upstairs, that was a very narrow little room. Dh was standing there, weeing, and ds2 came up and tried to come round his lefthand side to see what dh was doing, so dh leant over to his left to block ds2. Ds2 then tried to come round the other side and was stopped again.

So the next thing that dh knew, ds2 had ducked inbetween his legs and was coming up in front of him - and he had to react very quickly so that ds2 didn't get a rather unexpected hairwash!!!

toddlers are fab arent they
ds (22 mo) loves hiding, but hasnt quite got the hang of it.
I walk downstairs and hear
ds - hiding
me - ooh, where is ds? is he in the kitchen?
ds - no. behind piano.

like I said, he hasnt quite got the hang of it yet.

he also tells himself off when he is about to do something naughty
from the kitchen - don't touch, hot.
(he is about to touch the cooker dials)
or - no climb on table
or - no give buzz (dog) dinner

I am not looking forward to when he realises I dont have all seeing eyes....

Toddler dancing should be available on prescription!!

Love the hiding story too. DD today ate a bowl of blueberries with a fork and a look of fierce concentration - so cute. I work on a maternity unit, and she has grasped that Mummy works with "new babies" (I work with the mums, but hey, it's good enough for now!) If I have to take her in with me at the weekend the cry of "New. Baby. Hooray!!!!" seems to melt everyone, not just me!

[WewishyouaBUMPERLICIOUS]

Very funny thread!

We were walking in town with DD (17 mo) last weekend and stopped in front of a travel agent window. DD was pressed against the glass making faces, having a bit of a dance. I just stood there chatting to DH thinking she was looking at herself in the window. No, she was making eyes at a young man working in there who was waving and smiling at her! Floozy!

Well I couldn't help laughing yesterday! My toddler has just got a ride on motorbike for his 2nd birthday (I got it from Woolies before it went bust - I was there supporting Woolies!!!). However even though he got it 1.5 weeks ago he had not ridden on it because he was scared of the revving up noise it made when you pressed one of the buttons. So it just sat in the kitchen.

Anyway, yesterday one of his (girl)friends came round who is the same age, and the first thing he did when she came into the house was sit on the motorbike and rev it up in front of her.

I couldn't help laughing - he got over his fear only to impress the ladies.

By the way his father (my DH) is Italian. It must be in their genes!!!!

2 year old DS running around in circles, like a dog chasing his tail, and shouting loudly, over and over, 'I'M A CRAZY KID, I'M A CRAZY KID'.....

[Haribolicious]

DS (2.5) running around the house with tampons in his ears - unwrapped with the string flowing....brilliant!!

[PavlovtheRedNosedReindeer]

My DD had just learnt how to say the word 'clock' except she said 'cock' and was very proud of this new word. She walked around saying 'look, cock, cock'. The big boss estate agent of a local company came around to try to do a deal with us (he was the owner) and considered himself rather important. He had his calculator on the table and DD picked it up and said 'your cock? Your cock?' Your cock?' over and over...it took me a good few seconds of hysterical laughter before I could explain to him what she was saying!! He smiled, in that kind of way!

[RoskvaTheRedNosedReindeer]

Dd, who can't say "s" yet, calls her little brother Sam as "my jam"

[jellibob]

DS1 (2.5) takes a tiny Buddha ornament with his everywhere "Come on Buddha, let's have a wee-wee"!

Just been joined by a large cuddly Father Christmas, so now a jolly, and rather unlikely, trio.

[toomuchmonthatendofthemoney]

today's quote. bear in mind we live in rural northern scotland here.

ME come on ds, jacket on, time to go out in the car.

DS (2.7yrs) don't want to go in car. want to go on a train.

ME oh i see. where would you like to go on your train?

DS London

ME London? (didn't know he knew it existed!) why do you want to go to London ds?

DS got big lawn mowers there. and big tool boxes. and very fast things.

ME ???

My 14 month old has just been rummaging in our fruit box and has managed to eat half a banana and a satsuma complete with peel before I noticed...is good fibre, no?

She has also formed a strong attachment to one of my padded bras and likes to take it to bed with her now instead of her stuffed toy

[frustratedmom]

The day i smiled most was when I caught my DS fishing with his toy fishing rod in the toilet and when asked what he was doing said he was trying to catch a fish

[MissPiggyHasTheFlu]

These are fab - as a nursery nurse I have loads of these - but can't seem to recall any

[rizlated]

DS (3.5) asked, very seriously, 'where do burglars live'. Being slightly lost for words I asked him where he thought they lived. After a lot of thought he said, 'I think they live in trees mummy!' PMSL!

[mybabywakesupsinging]

ds1 and 2 very seriously ladled water into their wellie boots and ran round the garden shouting "splish, splosh" for hours..

[monkeypinkmonkey]

In Superdrug other day ds (3) was being a pest and wouldn't let me past at the end of the aisle so I just ignored him. Old dear came down and he wouldn't let her past... keep moving wherever she moved in an attempt to stop her getting past. look on her face made me laugh/cringe though.

[melmog]

Am I too late for this??

While I was standing in a police station reception talking to a police officer about my application form, dd1 shouted out very proudly.. ' I am squeeeeezing a poo out'!!!

[Selenatwins]

the twins (2.5) are calling everyone man and lady at the moment. When they go home from the restaurant each night they insist on going round every table saying goodnight to each person 'goodnight man, goodnight lady'. gets them too many sweets!

[Underconstruction]

DD1 spreading her legs wide and pulling hard: Look, Daddy, I've got a willy too, but it's really, really small.

[finefatmama]

ds2 (2.9)says 'stink, stink, stink' for think think think from My friends tigger & pooh.

• told his to shake hands last week when we were at a friends and he stood there flapping both hands and looking puzzled.
