My daughter is 2 and she was asking about Christmas. I have bought her a reusable nativity advent calendar where all the figures come off and you can do a finger puppet show with them.

Anyway, she thinks it's great and I explained, in brief, the nativity. She got all excited and put the finger puppets on her fingers and played for ages.

Then she came running into the kitchen saying "mummy, mummy, baby cheeses keeps falling off my finger".

I don't think I've laughed so much for ages and she still insists on calling Jesus baby cheeses, Mary "baby cheeseses Mummy" and Joseph "baby chesseses daddy".

Sorry, but I just had to post this...

I can't really think of anything else she's said that was quite that cute, but she does say that things are "a bit similar" when she doen't like the taste of them.

Small boy standing at a busy traffic junction, wearing a belt with two holsters and a couple of guns. Traffic lights just turned red as I stop, and look towards him. Small boy takes out both guns and it true cowboy style fires off his two shots at me (making the appropriate gunfire sound-effect). I drop my passenger side window, pick up one walking stick level it, make a similar gun-fire noise and fire! Small boy purposely falls down dead! Traffic lights change to green, I move off and wave to him. He waves back — from the dead position! Great fun!

Bless Clairy - my magic moment with our first kid (15 years ago) was the first time he strung two words together. He sat next to the door and pushed a ball through the cat flap and turned round to me and our lass with a big grin on his face and said "ball hidey".

The first funny thing she said was when she was just under 15 months. i asked her to do something and she said "not at the moment mummy, I'm absolutely far too busy!"... i feel perhaps i am already redundant.

Clairy
24-11-2006, 20:52
Yes. she had about 100 words by 9 months and over 800 by 15 months. she was assesed by the national society for bright and gifted children at this time. she is 3 in january and has been reassessed. she has finished all her phonics and is now learning French. she is just really good at languages.

well, ok. i can believe that at 3 she is doing that, my daughter knows some french and spanish and obviously english :D , not quite there with the phonics but shes not 3 til august. just that from the studies i did, babies at 9 months do not have the fine muscle control they would need to say 100 different words. but if you say so, well done babyclairy !

My son's 21 months and he can't say teletubbies, he just shouts 'titties' :hihi: can get quite embarassing when he sees something with a teletubby on when we're out and about, still makes me giggle though!!

He also does the gun thing and pretend to die if you 'shoot' him back lol!!

At the moment when we see a bus, he shouts 'booooooose' at the top of his voice, then waves 'bye bye, tata, see you soon!' We saw a van the other day and he proceeded to shout booooose so i said 'no darling its a van' he then said 'no, BOOOOOOOSE' i again repeated van, told him to say van so he put his two fingers together (as a gun) and went bang bang at me :hihi:

At the moment, his dads family who swear like troopers have managed to let him pick up 'oh god' so everythings 'oh gog' at the moment :rant: screaming round the supermarket the other day 'oh gog' wasn't a nice experience but people thought it was funny, i just told them i didn't find it funny and i would appreciate them not laughing! Sorry gone off on one there lol!! I'm teaching him to say 'oopsadaisy' at the moment and that comes out 'oopsdaisy' cuter when he says it but better than 'oh gog'

I think it may have been because we started doing vowel noises with her at about 5 months. That may have built up her muscles, although I wasn't aware there were studies into it..(i'm not too good with getting hold of baby information though). Anyway, checked her record book and videos and she was actually 10 months, so was out a bit on that.

My 2 year old daughter's been learning Christmas songs at nursery. Her favourite is 'When Santa got stuck up the Chimney'. She's developed a habit of singing it now with her own words. One day on the bus, at the top of her voice, she starts singing "When Santa got stuck up the lady"!!!!!:D
The whold bus was in stitches! Can't take 'em anywhere!

I remember my sister could never say 'chuck' as in chuck the ball, we could never understand why our parents went so red when out in public when she shouted chuck the ball but replaced the ch with an f, i'd die now if my daughter said that, unfortunately we also have c*ck instead of clock, although she doesn't tend to say it in public at the moment

My daughter is only 18 months and we've not really had any comedy gold moments like that yet.
But when I was younger my mum asked me where it was that they burried dead people and my reply was "The celery" He he he!
Another one, we were doing the nativity play at school and I think I was about 5 or 6. My mum asked me what gifts the three kings brought baby Jesus (I was one of the kings you see) and my reply was "Gold, Myrrh and Frankinspencer!"
One of the shows I used to watch with my Mum and Dad was "Some Mothers Do Ave Em" and I'd got confused with Frank Spencer! He he he!
Kids eh!

Why do kids do that? they could listen to you speak for a solid 5 minute - how many thousands of words would that be? and they'll pick up on the one and only swear word that you used - and insist on repeating it back over and over again like some kind of demented parrot

Me: Charlie, come on. Lets get ready for bed.
Charlie: Why
Me: Because its night night time and we're going to watch a little bit of Thomas in bed

Wanted share these recent little gems from my little one:

when I asked him "how old are you?" his response was (quite indignantly): "Mummy I'm not a number!"

Doing some baking I said: "right, now i'll break the egg shells and drop the eggs in a bowl and you can whisk them" He looked very pleased with himself and said "Shells, they come from the seaside and then they go to chickens and turn into eggs!"
