you know you have a child with sn

[2shoes]

because you use syringes instead of water pistols

When you ask ds to locate Moldavia on the map for you.

LOL the licking. DS1 smells everthing. (Anyone else have hypersensitive olfactory sense?) Especially in supermakets.

"DS1 put {food} down and move away from the veg"

Mind you it does make people move away....

DS licks tvs and everything too. AND br - he is totally obsessed with smell! He is always saying "what does this driveway smell like" "what does tesco smell like"

God yes. Whenever he walks into a room it's one of the first things he says "I can smel...[whatever he think sit is]".

Actually that's made me remember something rally funny that happened last night. Will post on new thread.....

When the gogos/cars/smarties/sequins etc are lined up in perfect colour order with a descending order category of size/transparency/shape etc going front to back too.

when you get a cold shiver down your spine on hearing the phrase "the ninkynonk is stuck in the tree" after a 6 month hiatus (it was on repeat for a year prior to that).

it is a similar sensation to when the ghouls come creeping back out at the end of a horror film. to be continued....

funniest thread ever, by the way!

When you're out and about, and really enjoy watching people's faces when your DC says 'hazagabskajabds' or equivalent and you reply 'yes, it is getting rather cold isn't it?'

When you're in a TV shop and DS has his nose pressed to one side of the screen of the display model showing BBC News, the assistant comes up and asks what he's doing and you say without missing a beat 'oh don't worry, he's looking for where the words come from'.

Running at automated doors yelling 'magic dooooor!' before realising DS is in school.

Standing in front of said doors with your two kids yelling 'SHAZAM!' (otherwise the doors don't open of course)

when your ds 'fisrt proper sentence is 'what's that noise?' (when he hears a plane) and you are still answering that same question 6 months later!

Great thread,has made me

Mine,you are pleased and not angry when your dc removes your carefully ironed clothes that are airing on the radiator and puts them into the washing machine because you realise that she has realised:

A) How to open the door of the machine
b) That a washing machine is for putting clothes in!

I am not looking forward to

c)Realises that she can actually START the washing machine by pressing buttons

macwoozy no way! I think it's sooo cute...especially the shark face he makes when he draws his nose up just before he does it.

Not nice mid-cold though.

when you let your ds squeeze peas from his plate and pop them all round the room because you have the vague idea it might be beneficial in improving his fine motor skills

when you nearly faint away with shock when they ask you to try a new food (in DS's case strawberries) when they have spent several years consistently refusing it. when you reward just trying a few mouthfuls of a new food. When you don't know whether to laugh or cry when another mum you meet tells you she has a "clean plate policy" with her child the same age of yours.

Your child spends sports day escaping in the opposite direction to the race.

Mysonben, DS2's first sentance was the same!! He still asks it now as well. It's a running joke in the family as well, because he cups his ears, blocking out the noise when he asks

You hear a young child scream and cry and instinctively look to make sure your DC isn't in the vicinity of the screaming crying child

5inthebed I do that with crying too! Sends a shiver down my spine.

When your diary is so full of appointments with his 'professionals' that you can't squeeze in time for a haircut!

When your child eats pasta with a sauce made out of Butternutsquash, carrots, onions, tomatoes and brocolli, you ring his dad, who is the middle of an important, career deciding meeting, to jubilantly tell him that ds has for the first time in his 5 years eaten "5 a day". This makes you so happy that you have a massive grin on your face for three days afterwards.

you ring dh at work to tell him your dd has had a pooh, you also clap and do a dance

When shopping for ds for the week consists of 7 chickens, 14 boxes of mint matchmakers and seven packs of blu tac.

When during the school holidays you look at the washing on the line and realise ds has been naked for the last 7 days and hasn't left the house once.

When ds2 (2) flaps his arms with excitement and your heart stops...
