I thought it would be fun to share those little gems here.
Mine recently rubbed my pregnant belly and said, "Baby!" Then, without missing a beat touched my boob and exclaimed, "Booby!" 😵‍💫
And: while I was using the toilet came over to me, patted my leg and said, "Good job!" 👏

Got any to share? 😊

Case in point:
Me after taking Havoc's diaper off): Ok, Havoc, go on the toilet for a pee pee now.
Havoc: I don't want to, mummy.
Me: Oh?
Havoc: I'll do it on Saturday.
(Today is Monday...)

Today, DC found a random man (standing behind us in a queue) and introduced him to me (and my mum) as "New grandpa".

My mum was unsure. Mostly because grandpa is alive and well and was buying us all lunch.

The man was more my age, so I don't think it was great for his self-esteem.

Me to my son (2yr 7m): "right, no talking now as we need to try to go to sleep"
"mum! you need to be kind of us"

He also likes to tell me not to shout at him when I'm telling him to do something in a calm voice😆 I promise I never shout at him. The joys of a 2 year old!

Rough night getting both dc to sleep last night with both crying over two hours. This morning, though, I was awoken by Havoc cuddling into me, head on my shoulder, saying, "Thank you for love me, mummy."

Awwwwwww!!!! That is so, so, so sweet.

DC wanted cake after dinner, but we explained that we didn't have any - we can bake some tomorrow. DC went and picked up their shoes and coat and stood at the front door chanting "Cake shop! Cake shop!". I said the cake shop would be closed until tomorrow. DC thought for a second, stomped through to a clock and told it "Hurry up! Want cake shop now!".

Not quite how time works, but I was kind of impressed by how those thoughts all came together for 2 year old logic.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 04/09/2024 22:43

@Scirocco it's those types of moments that make us forget, if only for a bit, how bloody tough it all can be. 🩷

My daughter (2.5) does this- If we have run out of something she wants she will say 'go Tesco get x'!

Yes! The idea that I can just go out to buy "it" at Costco at any time... 🤦‍♀️

The sun has just gone down and Havoc has noticed it's getting dark and is yelling, "Power! Power! Turn on, Power! Power, you should turn on, Power!"

Maybe more what she did than what she said but my DD 2.5 loves helping me with housework jobs.
Today at my mums she didn't want to play- just wanted 'do job' and then asked for a clean sponge and where she could clean with it! 😂
The strange thing is I'm not remotely a clean freak

Yes but on the other hand I sometimes think 'why can't you go and play while I get things done!'

Mumtobabyhavoc · 05/09/2024 21:26

Cuwins, mine is obsessed with the wand vacuum and the dry mop which has an adjusting handle length. I shorten the mop handle or give the wand vacuum and ask Havoc to go find crumbs on the kitchen floor or clean up under the couches or beds. 😁

Tonight DC did not want to go to sleep. I've just had an hour of 'Baby Shark'. This shark has the biggest family ever. 'Grandma shark's brother shark doodoodoodoo'.

Once DC ran out of shark relatives, they decided they had to thank every body part. "Thank you hands...".

At that point I handed over to DH and am going to work to get some rest.

Awww, the "thank you..." bit has made me chuckle, though. That's so sweet. 😍

I'm back to trying potty training for my dc. To encourage Havoc to stay on the potty (distract, really) I was singing a song I remembered from elementary, Goin' on a lion hunt. It's a song you sing and gets repeated back with actions. Anyway, Havoc's rhythm was way off and cracking me up.
Uh-oh! Look what I seee.... was repeated as:
Uh-oh. Look. What I. See.

(Doesn't come across as well writing it out, though. )
Havoc is now obsessed with it.

So since she started talking DD (2.5) had called birthdays 'Happy's' as in Happy birthday. However as of today it seems they are now know as 'get bigger'. She is going to a 'get bigger' next weekend

I just interrupted DC2's game to ask a question.

"Mummy don't please talk to me right now please thanks"

😂

3 year old recently keeps saying “horse shake” I twigged what this was the other day, she’s picked up “for gods sake” so everything is horse shake at the moment 😂

DC just told me the man in their wardrobe is very big.

There's not supposed to be a man in their wardrobe...

I went Tesco shopping with a friend once. She had to nip back for something she'd forgotten. When it came our turn, my friend still hadn't come back to the till. Her toddler, very clearly and very seriously, said to the lady on the checkout "This isn't my mummy. I've been kidnapped" 😳
