Those toddler moments where you don't know whether to laugh or cry..

[ghoulie]

Earlier this evening I walked into the lounge to find my toddler had wiggled a felt pen into the space behind the sofa and was drawing scribbles all over the wall. I asked him what he was doing, he said drawing and I said thats a really naughty thing to do, to which his answer was but you can't see it! I said it's still naughty even if I can't see it, we only draw on paper. Got a very sheepish look. A bit of prying later and I've now been shown his whole collection - apparently he believed as long as it was out of sight it's fine, so I have an art gallery spread around my house behind curtains, cabinets and various furniture!

Agh, pics not posting!

When my DS was younger he covered and I mean covered his toy car in Sudocream.
The car was one you sit into - a Mini Cooper style one..
you can't leave anything lying around!!!

Brilliant 😆

Awesome logic there. He’ll go far 😂

When my friend's little girl was a toddler she covered herself in hummus while she was naked.

When my son was two and obsessed with rocks, he picked up a dog shit. We were at school pick up and he picked it up with his friggen HAND.

Totally get his logic. Now you have a knee high hidden at gallery!

You can't fault his logic!

This brings back memories of the time, many years ago, when I fell asleep with exhaustion on the sofa after work. My then 2 and 3 year old DDs woke me after a while with the alarming joint announcements of
“Mummy, we made a cake” (2 yr old) and
“Run, she’ll kill us” (3 yr old)
Blearily, I dragged myself into the kitchen. They had attempted their cake making by mixing flour, butter and cocoa powder on the dining room carpet. Without a bowl. After first spilling flour on every worktop. Then panicking at the mess, had attempted to clear it up - with a brush. Thereby spreading it across the whole floor and scrubbing it thoroughly into the fibres….

I am absoloutely loving these comments as I have a two year old myself and there are moments I try not to laugh! I remember me and my sister eating weetabix and flicking our plastic spoons at the ceiling howling with laughter. My dad came back in 10 mins later and was so proud we’d finished our breakfast until a big lump fell down from the ceiling 😂it was brilliant- and he didn’t tell us off. He told us years later he thought it was hilarious

When my ds was potty training he'd done a poo on the floor in a room upstairs then was desperately excited to show us his 'poo spider'. Dh and I had no clue what he was on about so we went to see and found his poo with lots of cotton buds poking out. Ds said they were the legs. Poo spider will forever haunt my memory.

I remember my eldest DD aged about 2 (now 20) going out into my mum's patio garden wrapped up in a coat and boots to play with her toy while I had a cuppa with my mum (it was January and it was absolutely freezing). Thought it was a bit quiet so looked out and she'd stripped herself completely naked, turned on the outside tap full blast and was having a jolly old time splashing and squealing under it, she was BLUE with the cold. Mum's garden was completely secure (and locked) but the height of the fence meant a few people walking past had seen this naked squealing blue child before I managed to get out there, mortifying!

I also remember her shitting in a jug and putting it down the outside drain while I tried to find the key to the door (she was still in nappies).

I'd take those days over the teenage years any time!

Love these stories! especially poo spider

Poo spider is the best thing I've ever read on here, hands down.

Haha the comments are hilarious! God forbid we look away for one minute.
DD just cannot stop “creating” so now I just let her get on with it and try and fit in a weekly deep clean of everything. Atm she has her eyes on my clothes…I may need to toughen up. Luckily DP can paint well.

Sooo many.
DC managing to scratch the TV screen while his father was in the room, I could hardly be cross with the kid.

Covering the chimney breast in "under the sea" stickers and "look mummy, we made a coral reef like octonauts". We left it up for a while then DP got them all off and repainted it...later that day DC stuck playdoh all over the same chimney breast which did not come off.

Constantly finding scribbles on the walls we hadn't noticed before.

Giant sized box of washing powder, opened and enough for one load had been used. I was in the kitchen, and my two and a bit year old daughter somehow dragged the box through to the sitting room from the cupboard in the hall without me hearing anything.

First I knew was when I heard “Come and see the snow, Mummy”.
It was everywhere in the room, including all over the couch and easy chairs. I don’t think I’ve ever sneezed so often as I did trying to vacuum it all up.
Said daughter is now 48, and I still haven’t forgiven her 😂

Poo spider is one of the funniest things I've ever read on here!
