I've got a 5-yr old in the "why" stage.
And a 3-yr old in the "NO NO NO NO" and "I do it MYSELF" stage.
And a 1-yr old who just laughs at the other two. |

My 6 yo thinks he is either Ben Ten or one of the Ninja Turtles
My 3 yo is the bossy one, and the independent one |

I have to actually stop saying "I told you so" my 7 year old has now started saying it back to me. Luckily the 5 year old is pretty darn good most of the time, but our Charlie, well, everybody from the flight attendants to immagration officers know who Charlie is.
I made the mistake of falling asleep in an aeroplane, Charlie decided that he was hot, so he took off all his clothes and ran up and down the aisles. Hysterical laughter and Charlie 'stop that' from all the passengers and airflight crew woke me up.
It did nto help that the Pilot decided to lighten the mood by announcing if the mother of the naked child running around could put some clothes on him.
I have learnt that valium and gin work well in these situations for me hehehehe |

This thread is funny. Makes me realize again why I didn't have kids.

I love kids, and everything they do. I thank God that they are here, and that I get to enjoy them.

Okay - not often do I laugh out loud when reading an online forum, but that made me crack up.
Why ?
Because I could SO see my 3-yr old daughter doing exactly this !! |

Why do germs make you sick?

What do power lines do?
What is electricity?
Why do cows eat grass?
Why do we need energy?
And that was just in the last 10 minutes. It doesn't stop!!!!
He is 3 and every time he says why my 18 month old (who thinks she is a parrot) walks around "why, why, why, why, why" |
We have the same probelm at my house, a 3 year old who is extremely smart for her age asking all kinds of questions, and then the 2 year old (we call her repeat) because she repeats everything! It's too funny. |
I had this problem with my daughter, so after a while, i learned to take her places that will answer her questions.... took her to the national weather service when she wanted to know how they see tornadoes in clouds and my answer that they can see it in the radar didn't work. The 50 something weatherman couldn't believe a 4 yr old would ask the question... then when he showed her the radar and the levels, she asked questions that high schoolers never asked according to him. Was interesting with the conversation with the mortician too.
Thankfully my son read by that age, and would look up things in an old set of encyclopedias at his grandparents house

I blame  Becky-Lee.
She was the perfect child (well, other than not wanting to sleep... that's sure changed). Before she could even talk (which started before she could walk) she'd reach a hand out to something, hold it there, then look at me for permission before she'd touch.
Man, this parenting thing is a BREEZE, let's do it again!!
I swear, God's up there having a great laugh at that.
Her brother is THE perfect example of "I told you so". You could tell him ANYTHING and he wouldn't believe you until he'd proven it for himself.
Don't touch the stove; it's hot. Oh, is it? *sizzle*
Don't go out of the yard without shoes; you'll cut yourself. 3 stitches.
Pay attention to where you're walking or you'll get hurt. Wiped all the skin off the side of his face on a stone wall.
How he's survived to 23 is beyond me!!!
If Beck had been a little more "normal" she'd have been an only child... |

I thought of this thread today, just before I started to say, "I told you to stop jumping off of the bed." Because of this thread, I was able to hold those words back.
9:53am: DD (almost three) eases off the bed
9;53:30am: Liked it, decided to jump.
9:54am: Jumped a bit higher (is jumping up and off of the bed)
9:54:30am: Jumped a bit higher
9:55am: I say, "Kristi, stop jumping off of the bed. You are going to get hurt."
9:55:15am: Kristi lands with a whomp and a wail (obviously didn't listen to me)
Sooooo, if this were a challenge, I could take a picture of her little foot in it's cute little plaster splint (that can bear NO weight) until we can see an orthopedic doctor (providing we can actually find one that is accepting patients AND sees children -- do kids not break bones anymore?) to see if it is truly broken or just sprained.
The x-rays didn't show the break, but she won't put weight on it without grimacing and whimpering. :( However, she is loving being carried everywhere and all the attention she is getting. |
