In this thread, we brag about the cute stuff our kids do. Pictures optional.
 

Meredith has been playing this game lately where she pretends to be a baby animal (or anything else), and lets me know what she's pretending to be by coming up to me and saying, "Hey, Mama Kangaroo!" (for example). Then I always reply, "Hey, Baby Kangaroo" et al.

Tonight, she walked up to me and said, "Hey Mama Ballerina Princess!" :D She's so goofy.

ETA: Also, she can't go to sleep unless she has her stuffed Uga dog and her "little baby Hannah" doll. My little legacy!

I am potty training my 2 year old son. He gets a skittle every time he pees.

Earlier this week he called out from his potty "pee-pee in potty. Get Skittle." I went to go check on him only to discover that my water cup had been moved, and had considerably less water in it.

Nice try, but no skittle for you!

Hahahahaha!

My boys

Yes, my 6 year old is singing Twisted Sister, but true son of an English teacher, he uses correct grammar.

Mikey (my 18-month old) shares pretty well...except for the binky. It's his, and no one else's. His cousin Lexi (Lexi's 6) was over and had fallen and skinned her knee. She was crying, so Mikey walked over and hugged her. Still crying. Mikey patted her on the leg...still sad. So, he took his binky out of his mouth and put it in her mouth, kissed her on the knee and toddled over to me.

Mine's only 8 weeks old, but she's smiling now!!

And she likes bubble baths.

She's absolutely beautiful! (Careful with the bubble baths--if you give them too frequently it can upset her downstairs!)

I'm lame for double posting.
 

Meredith was pretty much the cutest flower girl ever.

That reminds me of my daughter, who is very money motivated, even now at 15. When she was 4 she lost her first tooth and got money from the tooth fairy. She worked at 3 more teeth that week and succeeded in losing 4 teeth in one week since she found out she got money for them!

My kids do nothing "cute" now, they are teenagers, lol.

Well, feel free to brag about the awesome/noteworthy/bless-their-heart stuff that they do! :)

Okay, so my son will be 3 next month. Since August he has been asking if it is his birthday yet. Thinking that something concrete might help him undertand the temporal concept, I explained to him that it won't be his birthday until all the leaves fall off the trees.

For that entire day he would run to the window every two minutes and proclaim "Mommy the leaves are still on the trees." This has subsided to just a daily announcement now.

Upon catching him blowing on a tree yesterday I asked what he was doing. "Making the leaves fall off the tree so it will be my birthday."

Gotta give the kid points for trying.

that hair! presh!

double post--

this is not my child, but my boss is in that "omg my kids are so cute let me tell you what they did" stage.

she and her daughter, 3, went to the ATM and watched people in the line withdraw money. when her mommy finishes her transaction, she looks up the slot where money comes out and screams "i want money too!"

i wasnt there, but i thought it was a cute story.

When watching the Saints-Dolphins game, my almost four year old son asked, "We want the fleur de lis team to win, don't we Dad?"

Made this Louisiana born Kappa a really proud mom. :)

That's so cute! Teach 'em early!

My kids aren't little, so I don't see much cute stuff out of them anymore, as I mentioned earlier. However, my kids are at their dad's house this week and tonight, my son called me. I figured he wanted something because, at 13, the boy generally doesn't just call to chat. However, this time, he was just calling to chat. He was bored and he wanted to talk. So, he talked and talked and talked and talked. He talked about his Halloween plans, his science class, some tv shows he'd seen. It was so bizarre. I'm still trying to figure out what he wanted, but, he didn't want anything, except to talk.

ETA: He did something else the last week that he was at his dad's. We had been talking about going to see Where the Wild Things Are as a family (my daughter, my son and myself) because my mom had read that book to me as a kid and then read it to my kids too. It was a favorite for all of us and, it reminded us of her. I received a text message from my son one evening, the week that it was going to premiere, saying "I've been thinking and I really don't think that I can go see Where the Wild Things Are and remain emotionally stable at the same time." <blink> 13 year old boy showing emotion and insight? I texted back "Cuz of grandma?" and he texted back "Yes". Brought tears to my eyes. He *is* in touch with his emotions even if he can only share them via text messages.

^^^ Very sweet!

Aw he's thinking of you :p

I spoke to my family today (they live across the country) and they shared a cute story about my sister (2 years old). When she wakes up in the morning, she takes her bottle into the bedroom and watches some early morning cartoons. Apparently there is a picture on the night stand next to bed where she lays and watches tv. Every morning she proudly proclaims, "That's my sister chickenoodle. We're a family."

I also had a chance to talk to my sister on the phone. She gets so shy on the phone. My sister managed to say "Hi chickenoodle," and "I love you" before bailing.

I thought it was really sweet because I don't get to go home very often, and I've only seen my little sister 3 times since she was born.

While I'm finishing up my breakfast and email, I can hear Annalisse on the monitor, starting to wake up and she's going "adadada *squeal* dididididi *growl* ammmummmm"

But I think she fell back asleep and I was typing that, because all the sudden she went quiet again.

I was driving my 7 year old to school and it was still dark (his school starts at 7:30am) and he said "Mom if the stars are still out, shouldn't I still be in bed?". I couldn't argue with him.

Holy cow that is early for a little kid!

Smart boy :D

Mama's Boys...
 

I just love how my 5 and 6 year old are all Michael Jackson crazy, as if they really got to experience him as most of us did. But I love it when we get in the car to go somewhere, the first thing they ask is "Mom can we listen to Michael Jackson"? and I course oblige, then the argument comes in.... my 5 yr old says: Mom put it on "Millie Jean" and my 6 yr old says: no I wanna listen to "Thwiller" :p too freakin cute! lol
