What's the sweetest thing your DC has done today?

Ds (4) came up to me in the garden. He stood there and said, 'I'm your husband'. (I don't have a partner)

I said, 'Oh, lovely', and he stood there proudly with hands on hips, tummy stuck out, and in this funny deep little voice, he said, 'Well, now, Dear. What would you like for breakfast?'

I couldn't help laughing but did calm down and asked for fried eggs on toast, which he duly made me from leaves and daisies.

'I'm a great husband aren't I mummy?'
'Perfect, love. Perfect.'

Nicest bloody thing DD has done today was to finally go to sleep after an hour's screaming....

But it is nice to see they do develop into humans eventually

DS (15 months) woke up from his sleep, insisted on bringing a cuddly tigger downstairs, kissed me, and then snuggled up in the chair and didn't climb up any furniture for a full 5 mins

DD (4) got herself dressed as soon as she woke up... and it matched!

When I tripped on something and went flying, he said 'Sorry mummy' and came up and gave me a kiss!! Was nothing to do with him either!!

DD fell over stuff in my room, and gave me her most stern face and said "You need to tidy your room! I just hurt myself!"

Dunno where she'd get that kind of phrase from

After asking me to buy toys from shop, I explained that money doesnt have money to buy them and that I have to be careful with my money.

After we got home he disappeared upstairs then came down clutching his birthday money and pocket money and said it was for me to have so i had money too. Bless him. Of course i didnt accept but thought he was soo thoughtful and sweet.

I love him sooooooooooooo much

Thanks for this thread

ds1 (8yrs) took my plate from the table and carried it in to the kitchen then took his own and the sauce bottle (dp had took his own through and cleared off to watch tv)

MamaMaiasaura · 05/06/2007 22:22

pointydog · 05/06/2007 22:31

bramblina · 05/06/2007 22:37

At lunch he held his arms out and said "cuddle", then put both arms right round my neck and said "ohhh, mammy"

He is sooo sweet

flibbertyjibbet · 05/06/2007 22:38

DS1 (2.5yo) must have notice something I was doing in the bathroom this morning. Now, we put him back in nappies yesterday as he had a tummy upset so he's sort of noticing nappies more than usual. I took him to nursery and said to the male childcare worker 'he's got a nappy on today'. My child then innocently and very loudly told this good looking young male nursery worker 'MUMMY GOT A ICKLE NAPPY ON TODAY'.

I know its not sweeeeet but I had to share this howler with someone!

BaffledByBabyTights · 05/06/2007 22:44

LOVING this thread!!!! DS1 (3.5)today said 'I love you from my toes to the attic'. DS2 (2 tomorrow) came and sat underneath dd (8 weeks) when I was bf her, and grabbed my boob, and said 'open wide baby' and then kissed her head. dd smiled today - she hasn't done that much yet, and it's scrummy!

OonaghBhuna · 05/06/2007 22:54

My Dd1 who was two a few weeks ago was looking for the Moo in the park. She kept looking up at the sky and then I realized it was the moon! Anyway she told me that the Moo was far away, its heavy and high and its a rock........... Shes got more brains than me

Boco · 05/06/2007 23:01

dd2 (2.5) whispered in my ear 'you are perfect mummy'.
I went all melty and fluttery and gave her a big squeeze.
Then she wanted to whisper in my ear again, but this time said 'you are poo head mummy!' hmmm.

dd1 was five today, she was sweet all day, she loved her worm farm that i gave her, and said it was her best present. My dad gave her a playmobil campervan and she told him it was her best present, then said to me afterwards 'you understand i just said that to make him feel happy. Your present was my actual fact favourite, ok?'.

He cried when I told him my feet hurt.

lyrabelacqua · 05/06/2007 23:23

Bran, that's so sweet! How old is he?
My ds2 did something similar when we went to the doctor and they were doing something to my back which hurt a bit and I yelped. he burst into tears. He was only 1 at the time.

DS (almost 2) invented a game on the bus involving giving me his cuddly blanket and saying "Mummy sleep". Then when I cuddled it and pretended to sleep, he would sneakily pull it back bit by bit until I "noticed" and objected, and collapse in giggles. Repeated numerous times until he was completly helpless with hilarity (and many old ladies were thoroughly charmed - which is his main motive I think )

fransmom · 05/06/2007 23:31

dd is 2 and has recently learned to say "love". i always say goodnight sweetheart, love you, sweet dreams (well as often as i can anyway ) and she said love you too

fair made my day huuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggeeeeeee proud mommy

i even did a little jig

EllieK · 05/06/2007 23:36

ds1 (3.5) asked me today
mummy, why does ds2 have feet? (ds2 is 7wks old)

the convo then went as follows -

me: well why do you have feet?
ds1: because i'm a big boy and i do walking
me: so what would happen when ds2 gets bigger if he had no feet?
ds1: he couldn't walk. ok then mummy, we should let him have feet

fransmom · 05/06/2007 23:40

awww bless their little cottonsocks (boden organic fairtrade ones obv )

zookeeper · 05/06/2007 23:59

I told off my three year old because he bit his sister

As he was going off to sleep later he said 2mummy i'm sorry I've got dangerous teeth"

AlphaLolly · 06/06/2007 00:05

Did wind the bobbin up and tapped her knees!!! Sorry very cute.

Also gave me lots of big cuddles and kisses today. DD is 15 months.

DP got in a strop and wouldn't eat his dinner (really!) DD1 (3) said "beans, you like beans, you like rice. Sweetcorn, hmm, it's really sweet", really gently trying to coax him into eating his dinner.

Didn't work though, he threw it down the garden and went out.

bran · 06/06/2007 08:23

He's 3 next week Lyra. He seems to be going through an empathy stage.

AbbyLou · 06/06/2007 15:12

I went into ds bedroom this morning wearing a new top and he said
'that's a nice top Mummy'. I thought that was so sweet. He's only 2.5 and he's never commented on anyhting I've worn before, I didn't know he even noticed.
