Is anyone elses child crazy?

[ButterPie]

My DD1 is 2.10, and seems to spend most of the day talking nonsense! Either I'm Daddy, she is DD2, Daddy is her and DD2 is me (and she shouts if you use the persons real name)(and it constantly changes) or it is "quiet time" (usually when she doesn't know the answer to a question) or her finger is a cat, or there are horses running up the fence, or everything is dirty and needs rubbing with custard, or basically any other mad combination of words...she's not the only one, is she? 2 year olds are all crazy, surely?

I'm convinced that nappy manufacturers impregnate nappies with LSD. And double the dose for the cloth nappies!

My dd is 3.10 and still a lunatic.

ds is 10 and he's still like this, he has mellowed with time. They live in a lovely world sometimes

mine too, especially when they were 2 and my youngest, who is currently 2 is a complete fruitcake!
It's amusing and endearing and the house would be dull without the sudden outbursts and flights of fancy!
ds2 is white head man when he has a vest on his face, ds3 is constantly telling me I'm Daddy and Daddy'#s Mummy and his brothers are each other and he keeps it up for ages sometimes!

Oh yes, my 2 year old is loopy!

Yes, 2 yr olds are barking, as are 3 yr olds and 4 yr olds.

I am often in games with DD (now 4) where I am supposed to be someone so answer in that name when I think I should to then find out I am no longer that person and was just supposed to know. Today she wore her Snow White outfit everywhere (Tesco, Next, walking in the Snow) and tonight she had all her toys piled against the bedroom door, told DH it was the car door and she was going on holiday. He carried on reading to her, by the time he looked up next she had moved it all to the wardrobe and when he asked why she told him she was now in the caravan on holiday and it was his turn to get the chips. Crazy.

DS only 11mths old so I have all this joy (and it is joy) to come again.

My 15mo is crazy already and I love it he has me in fits of giggles sometimes.

My DD is 5. She has always been like this and shows no sign of venturing into the real world any time soon!

Awwww! This all sounds so cute!! So lovely that they have such great imaginations!

(My DS is younger than that so I'm sure I don't know what I'm talking about... )

completely! My dh is drama teacher and says I have become a dab hand at understanding the first rule of improvisation. I feel so un dab handed at most things that I feel very proud. This (be impressed with my knowledge!) is to accept and expand. e.g. dd (4) " This is my train" me: "wow, where are you going on the train, can I come?". I used to hate the silly voices that went with it and even got the health visitor round to check she was normal! Now, would and will really miss it.

I think it's just refreshing to be around someone who literally does not know the boundaries of what is "real"

This morning, DD2 (2.6) wanted to eat a dinosaur for breakfast - but it had to be a T-Rex, so I looked in the fridge but was all out of T-Rexs so put my coat on to go buy one, she told me "Can you stop at the new leg shop, this one doesn't work?" and so on and on.

But maybe she is normal and I am mad?

I am another with a crazy 2 year old.

We'll be sitting on the couch watching telly and he suddenly shouts, lift your feet or the sharks will bite your toes!

Random bits of paper are 5 dollar bills that he is going to buy a train ticket with and go to the beach and eat ice lollies.

Tis lovely.

My DS currently makes sense some of the time but not most of it! He is 2.1 and his speech varies enormously in terms of comprehensibility, so he might be making sense more of the time than I realise, I just don't recognise what he is saying . However, I have no doubt that he will enter the tortuous phase where I will struggle to keep up soon... Bring it on, should be fun!

we had crocodiles in schoolbags,the wrong feet on,giants tip-toeing behind us and belly-button pizza for dinner.
Their view of things is so liberating...long may it last!!!

Definitely. My dd is 8.7, but still as mad as cheese.

DD1 only has to watch a TV programme once to be that character. And she will not answer me if I call her by the wrong name.

Me - DD1? Lunar Jim? Buzz? Peppa? Fifi? Buster? Dora? Pocoyo?
DD1 - Yes
Me - Are you Pocoyo?
DD1 - YEs (in squeaky voice)
Me - well come and get dressed
DD1 - You can't get me dressed, you are Elly, you have no hands.
Oh no, there is a monkey, run!

Me too.

My 3.7 yr old tells me "You are my baby and I am your sister" etc

She has spiders for lunch at nursery apparently.

The only time I found it difficult was when she had a really high temp and I was waiting for the emergency GP to ring me back. She was talking to the pink frogs on the ceiling and I realised that there is no way of knowing when a 2 or 3yr old is hallucinating

And they dont get better with age either..lol
Mine ar 11 and 8 yrs, absolute loons.

I am also a childminder, the littlest one (hes 2 1/2) that I mind is a fruit cake to..lol

Another mad 2 year old here.........despite being fully potty trained day and night, last week she laid out a towel on the bathroom floor, crapped in it, folded the towel up neatly, and replaced on the shelf.....later dp was bathing them, pulled towel off the shelf, turd flew across the bathroom, trainspotting style........ when asked why she did it, she said she didnt want to poo on the toilet today

My DS1 is a total fruitloop - he is 3.10 and I could swear that half the time he is hallucinating as he comes out with so much utter nonsense. He frequently puts random numbers in the middle of already incoherent sentences, his favourite being "one hundred million thousand". DH and I oscillate between total frustration at his crazy outbursts and trying to stop ourselves from laughing, as he will inevitably shout at us and start throwing a tantrum.

My 2yr old is a fruitloop too.We spend a lot of our day being characters (101 Dalmatians is her current favourite)

Last night she came downstairs and demanded that DP removed the triangle from her bed so that she could sleep????

She is currently upstairs watching a copy of Pete's Dragon that I found in a charity shop,god knows what that will spawn

Another crazy 2 year old DS here! Spends all day talking rubbish, DP thinks Nursery have been feeding him magic mushrooms. Take this morning's stream of consciousness for example:

"There's a big big big big owl in my bed.. it has got a yellow head and it is going to see Nanny on the 165 bus today... do you have a train ticket postman Pat?.. you are postman Pat, I am Bob Builder.... I am the driver, you are the passenger, oh no, PONK..."""

Repeat similar nonsense for 12 hours till Mother's head explodes...
