Example:

I just found a rather expensive unread paperback in the toilet and bowls and spoons in the bin???????

Why? :confused:

He's only been back home 15 minutes and is always doing such weird things.

Anyone else have this?

:hihi: :hihi: all the time. Just cleaned sons room to find a stash of cutlery in a school bag and drinking cups in his underwear drawer.

Also, I have no shampoos or conditioners or nice smellys left as youngest (7) decided to make 'potions' whilst in the bath the other day. I now have lots of lovely potions!:D

I'm always finding spoons in the bin.....and I don't have a toddler:hihi:

I think the worst is the brand new toilet roll that has fallen into the toilet whilst it was replacing an empty one:rolleyes:

Do all kids have cutlery fetishes then? My smallest one collects tea spoons and hides them around the house. :confused:

I sympathise.

One of our boys is slowly leaving the terrible twos behind; another one is just starting them :help:

Yeah the main culprit is 3 in January but his Sister (1) is joining in the "fun" now.

Could have been a magpie in previous life ? :)

The older they get the worse it becomes.

Mine are now progressing to all manner of hideous things.

Like the 7 yr old has a habit of sneaking down to the kitchen and making 'special' sandwiches consisting of jam and marmalade or jam and cheese.

And he has a fetish for half washing the dishes in secret. I opened a cupboard the other day to be assaulted by my best crockery which proceeded to smash all other the kitchen floor.

10 yr old is now sullen kevin alike, quoting little britain and telling me 'whatever'.:rolleyes:

Ok. I'm now half laughing and half petrified of what's to come. :suspect:

I had to come back on here to calm down about the book incident. :|

I had to come back on because if I have to sit through another repeat of 'Recess' and 'Spongebob' I may throw TV out the window. :D

lol come on, Penny Pcoket is a legend. I love Josie Jump too.

The only one I find disturbing is that geeza in the kilt, he just soooo shouldnt be on a kids TV programme

Spyro, define legend. :D

hehe now youve put me on the spot.

well put it this way. Elvis was a legend, and I regard Penny Pocket in the same category :D

Went to see balamory at the arena and got rather concerned when i knew all the words to the songs better than my daughter did!

I'm looking forward to the first ever human child / radio hybrid.

Not only does it sing your favourite songs, but it comes with volume control, mute button and an off switch ;)

I am not wild about this new answering back stage either! :nono:

Well my 3yr old had a lovely collection of rock hard bogies plastered on the side of his bedroom wall!

Whenever he goes to Nursery he always comes home with a load of stuff in his pockets, unfortunately the other day it was playdoh which I didn't find until after I had washed his trousers!
:confused:

My little niece LOVES Balamory - can't get her away from the tv while it's on (and she's got ALL the videos.....)

That blessed theme tune - if I hear it one more time..... grrrrr!

Personally, I find it a bit creepy, a bit Stepford Wives, everyone SO nice..... And there's something distinctly peculiar about that Archie, not to mention that suspicious PC Plum..... :suspect:

Lol I met Suzie and Penny at the train station... They had Balamory Clipboards and an entourage of kids with "Balamory" stickers on their coats... Bless 'em!
I didn't say anything, I was too embarrassed to have recognised them! :blush:

Thank the lord I am not the only forummer who knows far too much about this show. :D :suspect:

My 4 year old came out of nursury today clutching a note, warning of head lice in his class. He shouted at the top of his voice, 'I told Miss that I didn't have head lice, but my Brother does'!:gag:

Hey Sugar, this may help explain the mind of a toddler a little better for you :D

Toddlers' Property Laws
=======================
1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks like mine, it is mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down,
it automatically becomes mine.
10 If it's broken, it's yours.

Thanks Lellybee! :D How true that is! :thumbsup:

Lellybee is so right! LOL!

Toddlers are discovering the world and all these weird things are part of their learning what is OK and what is not OK. It is also a learning for us as parents, as to how to hide things effectively and out of reach of little fingers. We regularly get sessions of troughing homoepathic remedies ujder the bed when we think we've hidden them. Thank goodness they are not harmful.

Also, they do things they know are going to get your attention... guess what... to get your attention! I find that if I give my children half an hour's undivided attention early on in the day, it sets them up for the rest of the day and i only need to actively attend to them at around tea time. Not that I don't take notice of them, I watch them, do play listening, get on with my housework etc and let them play uninterrupted.

My son (6) came home from school talking about a student teacher who had taken his lesson that morning. The teacher is called Miss Mistry...........he proceeded to tell me why they called her Miss Mistry..........."it's because nobody knows her real name". However hard I tried I just could not get it thru to him that her name was really Miss Mistry and NOT Miss Mystery!!!!

I chuckle every time I think about all the kids thinking she's Miss Mystery!!

Yes its not just the things they do that make you laugh, but the things they say. Between 4 and 6 seems to be the funniest period. My older son came home from his first day at school thinking his teacher was call Yesmiss Wood, because when she called out their names for the register she asked them to shout ' Yes Miss Wood! It took a while for him to understand this!

I just caught my daughter (19 months) pouring orange juice into her shoe (as you do :roll: ). I said "Aren't you naughty today?" (All stern and Mummy-like).

She replied with: "Of course. But nice".

She's a mini me! :|
