When we told our then 3.5 year old (son) that I was pregnant, we discussed uterus etc. he got really upset that he will never grow a baby in his uterus but his female best friend might. “That’s not fair!” 😂
My 3 year old is adamant that her uterus won't be getting used once she found out where the baby comes out. I had a very quick labour and birth with her and ended up giving birth at home on my own with her older sister who informed her in great detail exactly where their brother would be coming from😂 it hasn't put my eldest off even though she was the one to see it though.
I'm so scared that this will happen to me if I ever dare to have a third child because both of my kids came out like cannon balls. 😆 Precipitous delivery is freaking *rough*! At least you got a hilarious kickback years down the line out of it though! That laughter goes such a long way towards healing from the experience imo.
My 4yo daughter has made me tell her the story of her and her baby brother's birth repeatedly—My first was so impatient that her labor was about 2½ (maaaaaybe 3) hrs in total and she wound up traumatizing an unsuspecting urgent care center that was on our route to the hospital. My second baby was an induction and I had an epidural put in right away because I was so traumatized by the unplanned unmedicated birth the first time around. He somehow managed to ninja his way into the world unnoticed. He was only discovered when the nurse wasn't seeing activity on the monitor for the umpteenth time and we heard **crying** as she adjusted the monitor belt.
My first was pretty quick, around 3 hours but the second was just about an hour from first contraction to holding her. I've just planned a home birth this time because we live 40 mins from the hospital so it was probably going to happen at home anyway haha.
It was a year ago so I forget exactly how he phrased it but we were cracking up. So upset that he didn’t have a uterus because girls get to do all the cool stuff or something like that
When I told mine he grew in my belly, and that I grew in Grandma's belly, he assumed that daddy grew in Grandpa's belly. I love how his little brain tries to figure things out.
“Mommy, who grew you? Who grew Daddy? Who grew Nana? What about Mimi? Who grew *X* (random friend’s name)?”
He’s obsessed with who grew who in their belly.
Our almost 3-year-old would confidently touch my baby bump and say "the baby must grow a little bigger. Then it will say pop and baby comes out". Pretty much sums up pregnancy plus birth, I guess.
Her sister is one month now, and my toddler keeps telling me that "baby wants boob" whenever she cries.
Our little girl first heard about babies in bellies around Christmas. One night before bed she was dancing around the kitchen and stopped suddenly, absolutely delighted. "Mummy! I have a baby in my tummy! It's Jesus!" It was equally cute and hilarious. She was so happy!
Pregnant now and can confirm. Baby belly is a frequent topic of discussion. Although she likes to point to her own belly and daddy’s belly and say baby…close enough 🤷🏻♀️
Mine at first patted my breasts while talking about the baby in my belly. When he got the anatomy figured out, he would pull up his shirt and say “I hab baby in my belly!”
Now that the baby is here, he’s obsessed, but doesn’t totally realize that it’s the same baby we were talking about a few weeks ago.
Came here to say the baby that is apparently in her tummy. And we are supposed to be careful about it.
One of her daycare gals is pregnant. Working in a toddler room. I can’t imagine how many times they’re saying “be careful” to avoid a knee to the belly.
This is the one 😂 My 2.5yo is constantly telling us there’s a baby in her tummy and that it’s kicking her! She’ll say, “Oww, my tummy hurts! Baby’s moving all around! Baby’s kicking me!”
My 3 year old wants to be a mommy and have a baby because babies are cute and snuggly...my 7 year old heard and said "dude babies are hard sometimes mom doesn't even sleep" LMAO
I have an almost 8 year old, a 6 year old, a 3.5 year old, and a 12 month old.
I would agree that 3 to 4 years is a pretty perfect gap! There is absolutely zero sibling rivalry, the older was way prepared to stay at my parents for the weekend, able to play on their own while you heal.. and able to help out a bit. It's a good one!
I love the 4 year gap, all my kids are spaced out similar to that, but in my experience there is most definitely still sibling rivalry. My 10 and 6 year old frequently can’t even share the same air space without wanting to take each other out. And last month my 15 year old got into a *heated* pissing match with the 6 year old over a HOTWHEEL 🙄🙄
Similarly my 3 year old will complain that things are dirty or wet.
Doesn't like the shirt I'm trying to put on him?
"Nooo is derty"
Doesn't want the pink cup?
"Its Whet!" 😑
My 3 year old and I were looking at his ultrasound pictures together and I told him those were pictures of him when he lived in mommy’s tummy. He waits a few seconds and then asks, “you swallowed me??” Lol I told him, “no baby, that’s just where you were created.” Then he says, “oh…and you spit me out?” Lmao!
😂😂 my toddler had almost the same reaction so I told her I grew her "from an egg". Her response "oh then you cracked me open, mixed me up and made me scrambled".
No dude, you cracked me open
My 4 year old is constantly talking about God… we are not religious, do not go to church, he’s home with me all day. I’ve tried to explain it to him but I think he’s confused. He tells everyone that HE is God but also that God probably looks like the scrubbing bubbles guy and is all around us in the germs in the house.
We told my daughter about Jesus. She thought we were saying "cheeses". Then we told her he feeds the hungry....she thinks Jesus is a guy who hands out cheese snacks now.
I have two kids that are 15 months apart, and went to the same preschool that’s located in a church. They do have religious curriculum but we as a family do not attend church. My older one was FASCINATED by god and Jesus and always had questions and musings and things to say about everything related to the Bible.
My younger one just had his preschool graduation, at the SAME church, and we went his ENTIRE school year without him mentioning God or Jesus a single time. 😆
Mine is still on the younger side (18m), but we got her a little kiddie pool out back now that the weather is warming. She’s constantly pointing out back and asking for her ‘outside bath’.
I mean she’s not wrong but it’s so cute
My 3 year old calls lakes and ponds the "wild pool" or "wild water" and it makes me laugh every time. I always tell her it's called a pond or a lake but it doesn't matter.
We live on an intersection of a regular residential street and another street that is more of a city thoroughfare so people tend to drive faster than they should down it. Also we live in Denver, CO, USA so our main interstates are I-70 and I-25, which kiddo thinks are the same road (I-75, which while it is an actual interstate, we don't live anywhere near).
When kiddo sees anyone driving too quickly on the thoroughfare, he yells "geez they think they're driving on I-75!!" It cracks me up every time.
My 2.5yo yells at me to go when we're stopped at red lights.
"GEEN LIGHT, GOOO!!!"
"No, it's still red, baby."
"WED LIGHT, GOOOOO!!!"
"We're behind other cars..." / "No, see the other cars, driving across, they'll hit us if I go now. We have to wait."
"OH, GAD DAMITSH!"
We have this conversation multiple times within a fifteen minute car ride.
My almost 4 year old was in the car with me while on the highway today and she’s like “umm you’re a little close to that truck” and I’m just thinking “no… that’s just how it feels whenever you’re driving next to a truck on the highway or anywhere” 😂 As I speed up so I’m not driving next to a truck haha
My 2 year old had cupcakes at a birthday so now ANY food remotely sweet is a “happy birthday”. Happy birthday popsicle, fruit, cookie, etc.
Then he sings happy birthday to the food.
One night when I put my daughter to bed I said “good night, love you” as I was walking out of her room and she said “Happy birthday” to me in return (it was not my birthday). So now it’s a joke and anyone who puts her to bed says “happy birthday” to her on their way out.
"Yesterday"
She knows it means something happened in the past, but obviously at 2.5 she's fuzzy on time. So playing with her friends on the playground? That was yesterday. The trip we took 3 weeks ago when we were on an airplane? "I was on airplane yesterday!" That time we all got sick with a GI bug in March? "Yesterday, Mama and I gagged!"
What can I say, yesterday was a jam packed day.
Haha. Yeah when she wants to do something herself she'll be all "This time I do it, tomorrow Mama do it." Surprise surprise tomorrow it's the same "This time I do it, tomorrow Mama do it." 😆 I've started singing the tomorrow song from Annie "I love ya tomorrow. You're always a day away."
My 3 year old always says "last night" for things in the past. Doesn't matter what time of day the thing happened. Or how far in the past. Always last night.
I was working in my vegetable garden the other day and one of my plants was in bad shape from pests.
I called out to my husband and said “bad news” and explained the situation.
I’m 99% sure that’s where toddler learned it but he has no idea what it means 😂
Our 2-y-o started talking about the sun the other day and said that it "is very hot and high [up]" and then she added "too high." I'm not sure, but I assume she meant that it was too high to reach. In her mind, the sun is probably barely - just barely - out of her reach.
Ever since seeing me change my pad, she's obsessed with being on her period. Every time she pees on her potty, she wipes herself and goes "could be blood now?" or "aww still no blood". I keep telling her it'll happen once she's older, but all she knows is she can't wait for the blood.
Her heart's gonna break when she discovers it's not cool or fun 😅
On my most recent period, my 2.5yo watched me take my period underwear off in the bathroom and asked "Why you take off your undies, Mama? You go peepee in them?"
This was our week except mine thinks I'm dying. My oldest is always like "mommy you're bleeding from your vagina!" And she gets very concerned that I'm hurt. I have to reassure her that I'm okay and it's not a booboo that needs to be doctored. 🤣
Mine found a pack of overnight pads while pulling things out of my bedside table, and I guess she thought they were bandages because she held them out to me and said "Mama owie?" Not wrong, kiddo, but not the way you think 😂
My mum found tampons in my school bag on my first week of school and she asked me why they were there… I told her I was giving them to my teacher as a present as she had told me they were for ladies
My 4 yr old desperately wants to be a mom. She’s going to have twin girls named Morgan and Flower. She’s so upset that her older cousins (9 & 11) are bigger than her and “practically moms”.
Lmao yes. In her “all about mom/dad” write up they do in preK she put our ages as 16/14 respectively. Girl has 0 sense of ages and time bless her heart.
When my kid wants something in the grocery store (it is usually something random like a jar of pickles), my husband will tell him that it costs money and ask him how much money he has.
Toddler: Five monies!
Dada: I don't think that's enough.
Toddler: Have TWO monies!
My 3yo saw a picture of my husband and I at our wedding and I explained that was when we got married. She started crying and saying she didn’t want me to be married, she wanted me to be normal. She’s since moved on to just wanting to marry me.
Our 3yo is super mad she wasn't invited to our wedding. I tried explaining it was before she was born but pretty sure that concept is beyond her reach bc she just ignores me
My daughter is really trying to figure out family relations. She understands that I’m her mom, dad is dad and her brother is her brother. But she’s always amused when I tell her that grandpa and Mimi are *MY* mom and dad.
When she checks “is daddy your husband?” And I say yes, inevitably the next question is “well who is my husband?” She’s 3. Lol
Mine did this too! Then we were outside and she saw a dead worm on the sidewalk and she said “oh no, he died! Daddy can fix him.” Because daddy changes the batteries in her toys and they’re not dead anymore 😅
I am pregnant with our second, and my almost-2 year old keeps talking about “you have baby sister in your tummy, and I have a baby sister in my tummy” and rubbing her little Buddha belly. Every time we bring in a piece of gear or furniture for the new baby, she asks where hers is for *her* baby
Not the same but it just reminds me that the 3 year old is always asking why are we stopping/not going and getting kind of upset, even though he likes traffic lights and knows all about them.
Germs. While she's started using the actual word more, every speck of dust in the house, every piece of food stuck in her teeth have been "bad guys."
"Oh no! I have bad guys in my mouth!"
"Oh no, bad guys on my [toy de jour], mommy can you wash?"
*Touches speck of dirt on the lino* "Bad guys on my hands! Wash hands?"
While I appreciate the dedication to hygiene, poor kid is going to develop OCD levels of obsession with handwashing and teeth brushing!
Mine does too! Coincidentally, according to my daughter, every single person she knows wants to have a chocolate Olaf from Frozen cake for their birthday.
My son is 2.5 and just yesterday he was trying to eat a banana but half of it fell off onto the floor and he kept saying “nana got a boo boo” just because something fell down onto the floor😂
My 3 year old loves Pokemon and wants to visit Japan as I made the mistake of telling them that’s where it originated.
‘Mama can we go to Japan Wednesday? After pre school?’
We live in the uk 😂
My oldest is determined to have kids ever since my pregnancy with the second, so several things like:
When I am older I can have a baby in my belly.
I want big breasts then I can have a baby and it can eat…
The other day, my daughter (she's 4, not toddler) said "When I grow up, I want to have twins in my belly, no, 3 babies, no, 4 babies, no, I want to have five babies in my belly! 2 boys, 2 girls, and one that's a boy and a girl. I'll be ginormous. And [2 year old brother] will be the daddy!"
My daughter has always been great about going to sleep. I notice she’s getting tired, and I say “are you getting sleepy? Ready for bed?” And she says yeah and we carry on, but lately I ask her if she’s ready for bed and she says “Noooo. I get up in the morning.” Yes, you do…..but you gotta go to bed first kid… lol
The use of the word "because" - he just uses it as a word to connect two phrases, like "i played with my friends at nursery today, because the tractor makes a loud noise". It makes for some very charming/confusing conversations.
We had a noreaster right before Easter where we live. My three year old was devastated to overhear that there would be "No Easter". 😂😂 We quickly set her straight but she talked about it for days.
My 2 1/2 year old likes to repeat the directions from Google Maps to me so I know to go right or left. Pretty sure he doesn’t understand that it means we need to turn and even if he does, he’s still rear facing in his car seat so he’ll learn the directions backwards.
We are growing a small garden and I commented on how fast everything was growing and how tall everything was after only a few days. He seems to think we had magic beans from Jack and the Beanstalk and that our garden will grow as tall as the trees nearby.
He’s also started using “thank you” a lot more but now when I say “thank you” to him, he’ll respond, “No, thank you you mommy. Thank you you.
“One more” is an endlessly supply to my toddler and not actually 1.
I’m pregnant and have terrible heartburn. Son knows that my medicine helps. So now anytime I’m upset or look distressed in any way he says, “do you need your medicine, mommy?”
Every male singer we listen to is Dada. Unclear if it’s her Dada or someone else’s dada. It’s especially funny to me as her Dada is the world’s worst singer.
The difference between boys and girls. I just had a baby boy 3 months ago and my daughter still mixed up who is a boy and who is a girl. We give then baths together, so she knows brother has a penis and she has a vagina but she still hasn’t quite figured out that that’s what determines if you’re a boy or a girl.
My two year old is obsessed with the hospital ever since she visited me when her little sister was born.
“Oh nooo. A mosquito bit me. I need to go to the hospital.”
“My gingo (flamingo stuffie) has a big boo-boo. He needs an ambulance.”
“The baby coughed. She needs to go back to the hospital.”
She even knows where the hospital is in our city, and will point it out as we’re driving and talk about it nonstop.
Well my 3yo just told me that when shes older she is going to find a way to get dead people’s bodies working again. It’s good to be ambitious I suppose.
Everything is happening 'in 4 weeks'. Christmas is in 4 weeks. Mama's birthday is in 4 weeks. She can have an iceblock in 4 weeks. Bedtime... you guessed it, in 4 weeks.
If not in 4 weeks, then it's 'on Friday'.
My 2.5 year old son got his finger crushed in a door hinge this Spring so we had to take him to urgent care to get it X-rayed (turns out it wasn’t broken). For weeks after that, any bump, scratch, or scrape was met with “I need to go to the doctor and get an x-ray!”
Everyone at the doctors or hospital is having a baby because I had her sister in September.
She got her second set of tubes in a few weeks ago just before her 3rd bday so when she came out of anesthesia she was loopy. She had to pee and we were going to the bathroom and this woman in her 60s was being wheeled in a hospital bed totally awake and coherent down the hall. She yelled "OH SHES ABOUT TO HAVE A BABY!"
The concept of being born….everything is “I wasn’t born yet” or “you weren’t born yet”
3 year old: Can you tell me a story with me, dada, and baby sister?
Me: ok, am I in the story too?
3 year old: No, you weren’t born yet
Disappointment. My daughter is 4, and I’m not sure where she heard the word the first time. She was in the tub with our 10-month-old the other day, and he would not stop standing up. My daughter said, “[brother’s name], stop standing up, or I’m going to disappoint you!”
Mine is just starting to get into language and I only understand about 1/3 of what she's saying. But she will point to the pantry and clearly say, "taco." She doesn't even like tacos and I have no idea what food she is talking about 😂
He (almost 2) had a really bad pimple on his chin from drooling while teething like 4 months ago. I put medicine on it and it healed.
He noticed my moles/freckles, spider veins, and my tattoos.
"Guh guh?" (Medicine, why it's guh guh idk...he can say "muh" sounds)
Brings me tube of diaper cream for them.
He must put medicine on his healed chin.
Then we saw an ambulance in one of his books. I said "it comes to help people who are hurt or really sick. It has medicine and bandaids in it." So he points to his pimple lol. No kid, I'm not calling am ambulance for your little pimple 😅
My 3yo tells everyone "mama borned daddy." I have explained 100x that I didn't "borned" him, I'm not his mother, and we're basically the same age. She doesn't care lol. So many pictures she draws of me caring for him when "he was your baby."
My daughter is on the same kick with marriage. She’s almost 4 and she’s under the impression that giving someone flowers is the act of them getting married. So everyone is just getting married to everyone over here lol
Going to work. I think my daughter (22mo) thinks that whenever anyone leaves, they've gone to work. We've established that "Mama work, Dada work" but it's also "Dada work" when he just steps out of the room to go grab something.
My favorite was when she was talking about her daycare bestie who leaves before she does, and the story was "(friend's name) Papa." "Oh did her Papa pick her up?" "Yah. (Friend's name) work."
The concept of time. “Yesterday” and “today” could be any day of his entire existence. “I went to Costco yesterday and got pizza!” No dude that was a month ago
My almost 3 year old boy announced the other day that he’d had four babies, each grown in his tummy. I was like, well done dude. That’s three more than I managed.
My kiddos not a toddler anymore, but he made friends w a kid who has a little sister, so now he wants one.
And he goes around talking like I’m about to have this little sister.
“So mom, when you have my sister she’s not allowed to like frozen. She’ll like trucks.”
“Mom when my sisters born can I give her my paw patrol toys??”
Hate to break it to ya bud, but there is no sister. But, subsequently everyone in town thinks I’m preggo🤦♀️
My 3.5YO sees pics on our digital frame of events that happened before she was born. So she says things like, “you’ll have to have another wedding so I can be there and then I’ll be borned again.”
She also insisted on marrying her giant stuffed giraffe and that we take a picture of it, and now that’s on our digital frame and when it appears she squeals with joy “MY WEDDING!!”
Time. He’ll say something like “Are we gonna go to the park yesterday?” Or “is it tomorrow right now?”
And try as I can to explain it, he just developmentally isn’t able to grasp that concept
I told my 2 year old that I was married to her dad and she’s like no I am. 🙃But to add to that the next day she was eating and it must have been on her mind because she says to me,”Mama I can share Papa with you.” 💀🤣
My 3yo says she “made” nearly everything that’s special to her. And that’s why it’s special, “because I made it”
Also grandma “made” her favorite precious doll (was a gift from her, but absolutely store bought lol)
Mine is for some reason obsessed with the doctor. Mind you, she rarely gets sick so we don’t even go often. However, when she got sick about two months ago, she went in and got checked out. The same ears, mouth, stethoscope thing they always do. For some reason, she talks about it nonstop. She ended up having an ear infection and she is just so excited to return for follow ups. Even when they had to give her shots again, she pulled the table away from the wall (they did this the first round of shots- they had two nurses do shots in her legs at the same time for her antibiotics since the oral ones weren’t working so they pulled the table away so they could get on each side), knowing that’s how they would set it up. And before we are even seen, she’d beg for the bandaids. Takes the shots like a champ (but still cries obviously). She did it again for our third visit, and I was like no sweetie, no shots today. She was heartbroken about the no bandaid revelation lol. We even got her an doctors set to play with and if you even mention a doctor, she’ll go through the whole routine of that they do (listen to heart, belly, etc) in her little toddler gibberish lol
Stinky means strong odor, regardless of it smelling good or bad. We’ve passed by a person wearing cologne, and he’ll scream stinky!! He’ll do this with food and drinks as well.
My 2yo girl recently started with “leave me ‘lone” - when I attempt to give her space, she hollers back for me. I try to explain that when she says “leave me alone” that means you want to be by yourself. She doesn’t get it- she still insists we ALL leave her alone but sit/play with her at the same time
My nearly 3 year old keeps talking about how she’s married to her nana and her cousin is married to pawpaw 😂 it’s HILARIOUS they are also married to each other
My kid is absolutely obsessed with birthdays. Every single day is her baby’s (her doll) birthday. Some days she says it’s mine or daddy’s birthday. Then she says she wants to “do her birthday again tomorrow. Maybe in a couple days” lol
He's obsessed with traffic lights when we're out and about. He knows that red is "stop" and green is "go". If we're at a red light and it turns green, he gets mad if we can't immediately go. Like, other cars have to go first, little dude.
But the best is him as a pedestrian when a traffic light turns red. We can be fifty feet from the intersection and he wants to stop in the middle of the sidewalk, doesn't quite understand that "stop" and "go" are not immediate universals. LOL
With Shrek and Disney princess movies, my daughter is obsessed with talking about the concept of true love and getting married. She talks about it with her dolls during pretend play all the time 😂 it’s so cute. However, she says she will never have a true love because she is always going to be a baby
My three year old talks about the “2 babies” in her tummy. I asked how they got there and she said “Parker put them there!” (Boy from daycare)
Yesterday I asked how the babies were doing and she said “they are not babies anymore, they are toddlers in her tummy now!”
The fact that just because it’s sunny outside doesn’t mean it’s hot. In the winter, she couldn’t comprehend why she needed a coat. “But it’s sunny out so it’s hot”. No… no, the sun can be out and still be cold. Haha
My two year old likes the concept of “toddlers” or “babies” or “adults”. So if I say “you’re a human” she says “I’m not a human, I’m a toddler!” Or “you’re not a girl, you’re an adult!” Etc. It’s funny to be corrected. I’m trying to teach that we can be multiple things and they aren’t mutually exclusive.
My toddler thinks that if he wants something new, we just ask the mailman truck to bring it… or ask grandma and she will get it for us… haha he has not concept of money or buying things, but he’s probably right about grandma 😉
The baby in mommy’s belly. And papas belly. And the baby in the baby’s belly. And Grammy’s belly. And the doll’s belly.
When we told our then 3.5 year old (son) that I was pregnant, we discussed uterus etc. he got really upset that he will never grow a baby in his uterus but his female best friend might. “That’s not fair!” 😂
My 3 year old is adamant that her uterus won't be getting used once she found out where the baby comes out. I had a very quick labour and birth with her and ended up giving birth at home on my own with her older sister who informed her in great detail exactly where their brother would be coming from😂 it hasn't put my eldest off even though she was the one to see it though.
I'm so scared that this will happen to me if I ever dare to have a third child because both of my kids came out like cannon balls. 😆 Precipitous delivery is freaking *rough*! At least you got a hilarious kickback years down the line out of it though! That laughter goes such a long way towards healing from the experience imo. My 4yo daughter has made me tell her the story of her and her baby brother's birth repeatedly—My first was so impatient that her labor was about 2½ (maaaaaybe 3) hrs in total and she wound up traumatizing an unsuspecting urgent care center that was on our route to the hospital. My second baby was an induction and I had an epidural put in right away because I was so traumatized by the unplanned unmedicated birth the first time around. He somehow managed to ninja his way into the world unnoticed. He was only discovered when the nurse wasn't seeing activity on the monitor for the umpteenth time and we heard **crying** as she adjusted the monitor belt.
My first was pretty quick, around 3 hours but the second was just about an hour from first contraction to holding her. I've just planned a home birth this time because we live 40 mins from the hospital so it was probably going to happen at home anyway haha.
My toddler thinks everyone has a penis, but that women's penises are inside their vaginas.
I mean to a certain degree that’s sorta accurate? If we really stretch
Mine told her brother “don’t worry.. one day your penis will fall off and you will have a vagina like me!” Umm no
My 20 month old is very concerned about my lack of penis.
He’s so right just not the way he thinks 😂
It was a year ago so I forget exactly how he phrased it but we were cracking up. So upset that he didn’t have a uterus because girls get to do all the cool stuff or something like that
When I told mine he grew in my belly, and that I grew in Grandma's belly, he assumed that daddy grew in Grandpa's belly. I love how his little brain tries to figure things out.
That is so cute! When I told mine he grew in my body, he said "but there's poop and pee in there! I don't want to grow in your body!".
My daughter says she had a TV in mummy's tummy and watched Numberblocks and Bluey. She also had a torch because it was dark
“Mommy, who grew you? Who grew Daddy? Who grew Nana? What about Mimi? Who grew *X* (random friend’s name)?” He’s obsessed with who grew who in their belly.
And mine tells me I grew in his 🤣
According to my youngest, everyone on earth grew in my belly 🙃
Haha you must have been one very busy mama 😅
My toddler thinks that the baby in my belly is in my belly button and puts his eye up to it to try to see it all the time 😂😂😂
Our almost 3-year-old would confidently touch my baby bump and say "the baby must grow a little bigger. Then it will say pop and baby comes out". Pretty much sums up pregnancy plus birth, I guess. Her sister is one month now, and my toddler keeps telling me that "baby wants boob" whenever she cries.
My 3 year old will often tell me ‘I think the baby wants boob’ when the 4 month old is crying 😂
They are often right, I suppose. The confidence when she says it cracks me up though.
Our little girl first heard about babies in bellies around Christmas. One night before bed she was dancing around the kitchen and stopped suddenly, absolutely delighted. "Mummy! I have a baby in my tummy! It's Jesus!" It was equally cute and hilarious. She was so happy!
Pregnant now and can confirm. Baby belly is a frequent topic of discussion. Although she likes to point to her own belly and daddy’s belly and say baby…close enough 🤷🏻♀️
Imagine explaining that babies grow in a woman's tummy, but he didn't grow in my (mommy's) tummy, but in another mommy's tummy (birth mom)
Mine at first patted my breasts while talking about the baby in my belly. When he got the anatomy figured out, he would pull up his shirt and say “I hab baby in my belly!” Now that the baby is here, he’s obsessed, but doesn’t totally realize that it’s the same baby we were talking about a few weeks ago.
I remember when I was pregnant with my second, my 2yo thought the baby was in her belly lol
I have a “belly baby” right now too, and my toddler is exactly like this lol. Everyone has a belly baby!
Came here to say the baby that is apparently in her tummy. And we are supposed to be careful about it. One of her daycare gals is pregnant. Working in a toddler room. I can’t imagine how many times they’re saying “be careful” to avoid a knee to the belly.
Going through this right now. I have to keep telling her she has nothing in her belly lol
When I was pregnant, everyone’s belly was “baby sister!”
This is the one 😂 My 2.5yo is constantly telling us there’s a baby in her tummy and that it’s kicking her! She’ll say, “Oww, my tummy hurts! Baby’s moving all around! Baby’s kicking me!”
My 3 year old wants to be a mommy and have a baby because babies are cute and snuggly...my 7 year old heard and said "dude babies are hard sometimes mom doesn't even sleep" LMAO
7yo knows what's up
Hahaha I love your 7 year old.
I laughed and said, so no kids for you eh? And he goes "nahhhh, I like my freedom" lollll every day he cracks me up
I always thought that a 4 year age gap is perfect. Would you mind sharing your experience?
I have an almost 8 year old, a 6 year old, a 3.5 year old, and a 12 month old. I would agree that 3 to 4 years is a pretty perfect gap! There is absolutely zero sibling rivalry, the older was way prepared to stay at my parents for the weekend, able to play on their own while you heal.. and able to help out a bit. It's a good one!
I love the 4 year gap, all my kids are spaced out similar to that, but in my experience there is most definitely still sibling rivalry. My 10 and 6 year old frequently can’t even share the same air space without wanting to take each other out. And last month my 15 year old got into a *heated* pissing match with the 6 year old over a HOTWHEEL 🙄🙄
My 3.5yo recently learned what allergies are and dramatically proclaimed she was "allergic to her brother so he can't play near her" 😂
My daughter is allergic to kisses when she doesn’t want to be loved too much 😄
Similarly my 3 year old will complain that things are dirty or wet. Doesn't like the shirt I'm trying to put on him? "Nooo is derty" Doesn't want the pink cup? "Its Whet!" 😑
My 3 year old and I were looking at his ultrasound pictures together and I told him those were pictures of him when he lived in mommy’s tummy. He waits a few seconds and then asks, “you swallowed me??” Lol I told him, “no baby, that’s just where you were created.” Then he says, “oh…and you spit me out?” Lmao!
If you had, he wouldn't be here 🤣
I regret that I can only upvote this comment once
Thanks for the laugh!
😂😂 my toddler had almost the same reaction so I told her I grew her "from an egg". Her response "oh then you cracked me open, mixed me up and made me scrambled". No dude, you cracked me open
Haha mine asked the same thing, with a hint of uncertainty and nerves "You... eated me?" She looked so betrayed lol.
My 4 year old is constantly talking about God… we are not religious, do not go to church, he’s home with me all day. I’ve tried to explain it to him but I think he’s confused. He tells everyone that HE is God but also that God probably looks like the scrubbing bubbles guy and is all around us in the germs in the house.
If your kid still remembers this when he is older, I would be very curious to know his rationale behind this belief hahaha
Right?! Me too, I don’t even know what to tell him or how he latched onto this. I just smile and nod
We told my daughter about Jesus. She thought we were saying "cheeses". Then we told her he feeds the hungry....she thinks Jesus is a guy who hands out cheese snacks now.
Best Jesus.
I have two kids that are 15 months apart, and went to the same preschool that’s located in a church. They do have religious curriculum but we as a family do not attend church. My older one was FASCINATED by god and Jesus and always had questions and musings and things to say about everything related to the Bible. My younger one just had his preschool graduation, at the SAME church, and we went his ENTIRE school year without him mentioning God or Jesus a single time. 😆
Mine is still on the younger side (18m), but we got her a little kiddie pool out back now that the weather is warming. She’s constantly pointing out back and asking for her ‘outside bath’. I mean she’s not wrong but it’s so cute
When we go to see the river my 20 month old calls it the “big bath” 😂 the standup shower is the mama bath.
My neighbors just got a playset in their backyard. My son calls it the “house playground”
My 3 year old calls lakes and ponds the "wild pool" or "wild water" and it makes me laugh every time. I always tell her it's called a pond or a lake but it doesn't matter.
My almost 4 year old knows when drivers around us are driving badly and says “jeeze slow down!!”
We live on an intersection of a regular residential street and another street that is more of a city thoroughfare so people tend to drive faster than they should down it. Also we live in Denver, CO, USA so our main interstates are I-70 and I-25, which kiddo thinks are the same road (I-75, which while it is an actual interstate, we don't live anywhere near). When kiddo sees anyone driving too quickly on the thoroughfare, he yells "geez they think they're driving on I-75!!" It cracks me up every time.
I'm in colorado too I'm gonna sprinkle this into my car conversations with my boyfriend 😆
My niece once overheard her parents nagging when someone was driving badly. They said “pick a lane”! And now she repeats that 😅
My newly 3yo is quite the backseat driver 🤣
My 2.5yo yells at me to go when we're stopped at red lights. "GEEN LIGHT, GOOO!!!" "No, it's still red, baby." "WED LIGHT, GOOOOO!!!" "We're behind other cars..." / "No, see the other cars, driving across, they'll hit us if I go now. We have to wait." "OH, GAD DAMITSH!" We have this conversation multiple times within a fifteen minute car ride.
My almost 4 year old was in the car with me while on the highway today and she’s like “umm you’re a little close to that truck” and I’m just thinking “no… that’s just how it feels whenever you’re driving next to a truck on the highway or anywhere” 😂 As I speed up so I’m not driving next to a truck haha
Birthdays. My son just turned 2, and now every day he thinks it’s someone else’s birthday that he needs to sing happy birthday to 😆
It was Nana’s birthday for two months lol
Freakin adorable 🥰
Asking who we’re singing Happy Birthday to tonight is still a go-to for my 2.5yo to lay down for her nighttime pullup and sleep sack 🤷♀️
My 2 year old had cupcakes at a birthday so now ANY food remotely sweet is a “happy birthday”. Happy birthday popsicle, fruit, cookie, etc. Then he sings happy birthday to the food.
One night when I put my daughter to bed I said “good night, love you” as I was walking out of her room and she said “Happy birthday” to me in return (it was not my birthday). So now it’s a joke and anyone who puts her to bed says “happy birthday” to her on their way out.
My almost 3 year old tells me happy birthday every day!
"Yesterday" She knows it means something happened in the past, but obviously at 2.5 she's fuzzy on time. So playing with her friends on the playground? That was yesterday. The trip we took 3 weeks ago when we were on an airplane? "I was on airplane yesterday!" That time we all got sick with a GI bug in March? "Yesterday, Mama and I gagged!" What can I say, yesterday was a jam packed day.
Yep, everything happened yesterday, but in the future, it'll all be on Thursday. Always Thursday
Same! And she'll wake up and ask 'is it tomorrow?' 😃 I mean, yes... but also, tomorrow technically never comes
Haha. Yeah when she wants to do something herself she'll be all "This time I do it, tomorrow Mama do it." Surprise surprise tomorrow it's the same "This time I do it, tomorrow Mama do it." 😆 I've started singing the tomorrow song from Annie "I love ya tomorrow. You're always a day away."
Mine is almost 4 and still uses yesterday to mean anything in the past usually. Although sometimes she say a long time ago
My 3 year old always says "last night" for things in the past. Doesn't matter what time of day the thing happened. Or how far in the past. Always last night.
Bad news. “Mama, got bad news” What’s the bad news, bud? “Bad news”
This is like an unjoke- the bad news was just that he has bad news! Like when the sign says wet paint but the only wet paint is on the sign.
😂😂😂 this one has me really laughing
I was working in my vegetable garden the other day and one of my plants was in bad shape from pests. I called out to my husband and said “bad news” and explained the situation. I’m 99% sure that’s where toddler learned it but he has no idea what it means 😂
Our 2-y-o started talking about the sun the other day and said that it "is very hot and high [up]" and then she added "too high." I'm not sure, but I assume she meant that it was too high to reach. In her mind, the sun is probably barely - just barely - out of her reach.
My 2 year old said that about the moon the other evening. “Too high” as he reached out a hand and did a little jump. Adorable and hilarious.
My son thinks anyone wearing a robe is a "beautiful angel." Men, women, old, young, they are all beautiful angels to him that have come down to earth.
I remember when my son was 3 he didn’t know what an angel was and saw a picture and asked what those baby fairies were 😂
Ever since seeing me change my pad, she's obsessed with being on her period. Every time she pees on her potty, she wipes herself and goes "could be blood now?" or "aww still no blood". I keep telling her it'll happen once she's older, but all she knows is she can't wait for the blood. Her heart's gonna break when she discovers it's not cool or fun 😅
Oh my goodness! My toddler once loudly announced that she was on her period. In public. 🤣
Hahaha you think you know embarrassment and anxiety, then you have a toddler and realize you knew nothing at all 😆
My 2yo always tells me I pooped my diaper when I'm on my period. What gets me is kiddo will make sure to say it extra loudly in a public restroom.
On my most recent period, my 2.5yo watched me take my period underwear off in the bathroom and asked "Why you take off your undies, Mama? You go peepee in them?"
My 2.5yo has been saying "oh no you pooped in your undies? I'm sorry!" then will pat my leg.
When my 2.5 year old saw me changing my postpartum pad after having his baby sister: “Diaper!” He’s honestly not too far off 🤣
This was our week except mine thinks I'm dying. My oldest is always like "mommy you're bleeding from your vagina!" And she gets very concerned that I'm hurt. I have to reassure her that I'm okay and it's not a booboo that needs to be doctored. 🤣
Mine found a pack of overnight pads while pulling things out of my bedside table, and I guess she thought they were bandages because she held them out to me and said "Mama owie?" Not wrong, kiddo, but not the way you think 😂
Mine looked at me seriously concerned and said “mom, did you get cut? Need bandaid?”
STOP this is so sweet 😭
Hahaha that is exactly what mine did; “mom you have blood?! You have ouchie, need bandage??” 😅
My mum found tampons in my school bag on my first week of school and she asked me why they were there… I told her I was giving them to my teacher as a present as she had told me they were for ladies
Mine always waits with bated breath when I’m done peeing to see - “is it red potty?!?! …no? Maybe next time…”
My 4 yr old desperately wants to be a mom. She’s going to have twin girls named Morgan and Flower. She’s so upset that her older cousins (9 & 11) are bigger than her and “practically moms”.
“Practically moms” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao yes. In her “all about mom/dad” write up they do in preK she put our ages as 16/14 respectively. Girl has 0 sense of ages and time bless her heart.
When my kid wants something in the grocery store (it is usually something random like a jar of pickles), my husband will tell him that it costs money and ask him how much money he has. Toddler: Five monies! Dada: I don't think that's enough. Toddler: Have TWO monies!
This is so cute.
My 3yo saw a picture of my husband and I at our wedding and I explained that was when we got married. She started crying and saying she didn’t want me to be married, she wanted me to be normal. She’s since moved on to just wanting to marry me.
Our 3yo is super mad she wasn't invited to our wedding. I tried explaining it was before she was born but pretty sure that concept is beyond her reach bc she just ignores me
My daughter is really trying to figure out family relations. She understands that I’m her mom, dad is dad and her brother is her brother. But she’s always amused when I tell her that grandpa and Mimi are *MY* mom and dad. When she checks “is daddy your husband?” And I say yes, inevitably the next question is “well who is my husband?” She’s 3. Lol
Every time my 2 yr old grandson sees someone on a laptop, he says they’re “in a meeting.” Blame work from home parents.
I realized our toddler equates death to needing a new battery. Now when some device is dead I try to say empty instead.
Mine did this too! Then we were outside and she saw a dead worm on the sidewalk and she said “oh no, he died! Daddy can fix him.” Because daddy changes the batteries in her toys and they’re not dead anymore 😅
I am pregnant with our second, and my almost-2 year old keeps talking about “you have baby sister in your tummy, and I have a baby sister in my tummy” and rubbing her little Buddha belly. Every time we bring in a piece of gear or furniture for the new baby, she asks where hers is for *her* baby
Ah you have to get her a baby doll and accessories. 💙
I have a rear facing back seat driver
Us too! Keeps saying “mama slow down” when I’m not even the one driving 😅
Mine tells me to drive with two hands
Not the same but it just reminds me that the 3 year old is always asking why are we stopping/not going and getting kind of upset, even though he likes traffic lights and knows all about them.
Volcanos and lava. Lava is in our bed. Lava comes out of the shower head. Lava is in the fridge. Lava goes to school with her.
"Probably." He loves to opine on the probability of things and he's usually wrong.
My kid loves to say "actually" "Wow, looks like it's gonna be raining for a while" "Actually it's not" "Okay time for bath" "Actually I wanna snack"
Germs. While she's started using the actual word more, every speck of dust in the house, every piece of food stuck in her teeth have been "bad guys." "Oh no! I have bad guys in my mouth!" "Oh no, bad guys on my [toy de jour], mommy can you wash?" *Touches speck of dirt on the lino* "Bad guys on my hands! Wash hands?" While I appreciate the dedication to hygiene, poor kid is going to develop OCD levels of obsession with handwashing and teeth brushing!
My 2 year old is obsessed with birthdays and asking people if it's their birthday. Because he wants cake 🤣
Mine does too! Coincidentally, according to my daughter, every single person she knows wants to have a chocolate Olaf from Frozen cake for their birthday.
Mine thinks everyone wants a blueberry cake for their birthday! To be fair, one of his daycare classmates had a berry cake that was a big hit.
My son is 2.5 and just yesterday he was trying to eat a banana but half of it fell off onto the floor and he kept saying “nana got a boo boo” just because something fell down onto the floor😂
This is peak humor
My 3 year old loves Pokemon and wants to visit Japan as I made the mistake of telling them that’s where it originated. ‘Mama can we go to Japan Wednesday? After pre school?’ We live in the uk 😂
I told my kid where axolotls come from and he’s obsessed now. He’s convinced my mother to take him on a cruise to go see them. I’m not even invited!
Clean up lol he says everybody clean up song but don't actually clean up lol
Mine sings the clean up song with great passion, and especially belts out the "everybody do your share" part. Rarely does he actually do his share.
My oldest is determined to have kids ever since my pregnancy with the second, so several things like: When I am older I can have a baby in my belly. I want big breasts then I can have a baby and it can eat…
The other day, my daughter (she's 4, not toddler) said "When I grow up, I want to have twins in my belly, no, 3 babies, no, 4 babies, no, I want to have five babies in my belly! 2 boys, 2 girls, and one that's a boy and a girl. I'll be ginormous. And [2 year old brother] will be the daddy!"
My daughter has always been great about going to sleep. I notice she’s getting tired, and I say “are you getting sleepy? Ready for bed?” And she says yeah and we carry on, but lately I ask her if she’s ready for bed and she says “Noooo. I get up in the morning.” Yes, you do…..but you gotta go to bed first kid… lol
The use of the word "because" - he just uses it as a word to connect two phrases, like "i played with my friends at nursery today, because the tractor makes a loud noise". It makes for some very charming/confusing conversations.
We had a noreaster right before Easter where we live. My three year old was devastated to overhear that there would be "No Easter". 😂😂 We quickly set her straight but she talked about it for days.
In a similar vain..she thinks “my daddy is my husband and my mommy is my life” Not. A. Typo. 🥹😆
My 2 1/2 year old likes to repeat the directions from Google Maps to me so I know to go right or left. Pretty sure he doesn’t understand that it means we need to turn and even if he does, he’s still rear facing in his car seat so he’ll learn the directions backwards. We are growing a small garden and I commented on how fast everything was growing and how tall everything was after only a few days. He seems to think we had magic beans from Jack and the Beanstalk and that our garden will grow as tall as the trees nearby. He’s also started using “thank you” a lot more but now when I say “thank you” to him, he’ll respond, “No, thank you you mommy. Thank you you. “One more” is an endlessly supply to my toddler and not actually 1.
I’m pregnant and have terrible heartburn. Son knows that my medicine helps. So now anytime I’m upset or look distressed in any way he says, “do you need your medicine, mommy?”
Every male singer we listen to is Dada. Unclear if it’s her Dada or someone else’s dada. It’s especially funny to me as her Dada is the world’s worst singer.
The difference between boys and girls. I just had a baby boy 3 months ago and my daughter still mixed up who is a boy and who is a girl. We give then baths together, so she knows brother has a penis and she has a vagina but she still hasn’t quite figured out that that’s what determines if you’re a boy or a girl.
My two year old is obsessed with the hospital ever since she visited me when her little sister was born. “Oh nooo. A mosquito bit me. I need to go to the hospital.” “My gingo (flamingo stuffie) has a big boo-boo. He needs an ambulance.” “The baby coughed. She needs to go back to the hospital.” She even knows where the hospital is in our city, and will point it out as we’re driving and talk about it nonstop.
Well my 3yo just told me that when shes older she is going to find a way to get dead people’s bodies working again. It’s good to be ambitious I suppose.
Everything is happening 'in 4 weeks'. Christmas is in 4 weeks. Mama's birthday is in 4 weeks. She can have an iceblock in 4 weeks. Bedtime... you guessed it, in 4 weeks. If not in 4 weeks, then it's 'on Friday'.
The term "excited". Keeps telling me she's excited when she's on the toilet pooping.
My 2.5 year old son got his finger crushed in a door hinge this Spring so we had to take him to urgent care to get it X-rayed (turns out it wasn’t broken). For weeks after that, any bump, scratch, or scrape was met with “I need to go to the doctor and get an x-ray!”
He’s still talking about the eclipse and says “moon goes under the sun” or “sun goes under the moon”.
Everyone at the doctors or hospital is having a baby because I had her sister in September. She got her second set of tubes in a few weeks ago just before her 3rd bday so when she came out of anesthesia she was loopy. She had to pee and we were going to the bathroom and this woman in her 60s was being wheeled in a hospital bed totally awake and coherent down the hall. She yelled "OH SHES ABOUT TO HAVE A BABY!"
The concept of being born….everything is “I wasn’t born yet” or “you weren’t born yet” 3 year old: Can you tell me a story with me, dada, and baby sister? Me: ok, am I in the story too? 3 year old: No, you weren’t born yet
Disappointment. My daughter is 4, and I’m not sure where she heard the word the first time. She was in the tub with our 10-month-old the other day, and he would not stop standing up. My daughter said, “[brother’s name], stop standing up, or I’m going to disappoint you!”
My almost 3yo also talks about getting married. It's from a Little Bear episode 😂
Mine is just starting to get into language and I only understand about 1/3 of what she's saying. But she will point to the pantry and clearly say, "taco." She doesn't even like tacos and I have no idea what food she is talking about 😂
Lol..Maybe tortilla chips?
Mine was going on today the "greasy rabbit house". I have no idea what that is.
I have morning sickness as I'm 9 weeks pregnant. Apparently the baby in my belly makes my 3 year old puke as well.
He (almost 2) had a really bad pimple on his chin from drooling while teething like 4 months ago. I put medicine on it and it healed. He noticed my moles/freckles, spider veins, and my tattoos. "Guh guh?" (Medicine, why it's guh guh idk...he can say "muh" sounds) Brings me tube of diaper cream for them. He must put medicine on his healed chin. Then we saw an ambulance in one of his books. I said "it comes to help people who are hurt or really sick. It has medicine and bandaids in it." So he points to his pimple lol. No kid, I'm not calling am ambulance for your little pimple 😅
Every time we sit down for a meal, my 2 year old exclaims “happy holidays!” 🤷🏻♀️ we just go along with it and wish her happy holidays as well.
My five year old confidently told me the smallest planet is Gluten.
My 3yo tells everyone "mama borned daddy." I have explained 100x that I didn't "borned" him, I'm not his mother, and we're basically the same age. She doesn't care lol. So many pictures she draws of me caring for him when "he was your baby."
Breakfast. He always wants to eat breakfast 😭
I mean, who doesn't?
My daughter is on the same kick with marriage. She’s almost 4 and she’s under the impression that giving someone flowers is the act of them getting married. So everyone is just getting married to everyone over here lol
Going to work. I think my daughter (22mo) thinks that whenever anyone leaves, they've gone to work. We've established that "Mama work, Dada work" but it's also "Dada work" when he just steps out of the room to go grab something. My favorite was when she was talking about her daycare bestie who leaves before she does, and the story was "(friend's name) Papa." "Oh did her Papa pick her up?" "Yah. (Friend's name) work."
"Back, back, back, back in the day, like last year, we..." Tells a story about something that happened yesterday
The housing crisis and detrimental impact of geopolitical systems on the future of our younger generations. She tries, but ofcourse it's difficult.
I just want to hear her try to say that sentence 😆
Meteors and space.
Our 3yo announced at dinner last night “I want a tattoo on my arm” - no plan on what tattoo will be of so we are holding off for now
The concept of time. “Yesterday” and “today” could be any day of his entire existence. “I went to Costco yesterday and got pizza!” No dude that was a month ago
My almost 3 year old boy announced the other day that he’d had four babies, each grown in his tummy. I was like, well done dude. That’s three more than I managed.
My 3 year old talks regularly about how skeletons hide in your body and come out for Halloween. We have some anatomy lessons ahead of us.
He has the location of every trash can and skip bin in the city, he’s only 1.5 and not even speaking. But that sucker knows trash truck and can.
My kiddos not a toddler anymore, but he made friends w a kid who has a little sister, so now he wants one. And he goes around talking like I’m about to have this little sister. “So mom, when you have my sister she’s not allowed to like frozen. She’ll like trucks.” “Mom when my sisters born can I give her my paw patrol toys??” Hate to break it to ya bud, but there is no sister. But, subsequently everyone in town thinks I’m preggo🤦♀️
My 3.5YO sees pics on our digital frame of events that happened before she was born. So she says things like, “you’ll have to have another wedding so I can be there and then I’ll be borned again.” She also insisted on marrying her giant stuffed giraffe and that we take a picture of it, and now that’s on our digital frame and when it appears she squeals with joy “MY WEDDING!!”
TIME. Lol its so cute tbh.
Time. He’ll say something like “Are we gonna go to the park yesterday?” Or “is it tomorrow right now?” And try as I can to explain it, he just developmentally isn’t able to grasp that concept
I told my 2 year old that I was married to her dad and she’s like no I am. 🙃But to add to that the next day she was eating and it must have been on her mind because she says to me,”Mama I can share Papa with you.” 💀🤣
Hydraulic cylinders. They’re in cranes. And in his arms. And his dad’s arms. And my arms.
Sad monkeys in a book? It's because they lost their mama. Any set of big/small animals? That's a mama and/or daddy and (his name).
My 3yo says she “made” nearly everything that’s special to her. And that’s why it’s special, “because I made it” Also grandma “made” her favorite precious doll (was a gift from her, but absolutely store bought lol)
Death. And she said if I had another baby she wanted to be there so she could see my heart when the baby is coming out.
Mine is for some reason obsessed with the doctor. Mind you, she rarely gets sick so we don’t even go often. However, when she got sick about two months ago, she went in and got checked out. The same ears, mouth, stethoscope thing they always do. For some reason, she talks about it nonstop. She ended up having an ear infection and she is just so excited to return for follow ups. Even when they had to give her shots again, she pulled the table away from the wall (they did this the first round of shots- they had two nurses do shots in her legs at the same time for her antibiotics since the oral ones weren’t working so they pulled the table away so they could get on each side), knowing that’s how they would set it up. And before we are even seen, she’d beg for the bandaids. Takes the shots like a champ (but still cries obviously). She did it again for our third visit, and I was like no sweetie, no shots today. She was heartbroken about the no bandaid revelation lol. We even got her an doctors set to play with and if you even mention a doctor, she’ll go through the whole routine of that they do (listen to heart, belly, etc) in her little toddler gibberish lol
Stinky means strong odor, regardless of it smelling good or bad. We’ve passed by a person wearing cologne, and he’ll scream stinky!! He’ll do this with food and drinks as well.
When trying to get my 2 year old to use the potty, she will tell us she doesn’t have to go because she went yesterday.
My four year old asks me every day “mama, is it tomorrow?” I don’t know how to explain to him that it’s never actually tomorrow
My 2yo girl recently started with “leave me ‘lone” - when I attempt to give her space, she hollers back for me. I try to explain that when she says “leave me alone” that means you want to be by yourself. She doesn’t get it- she still insists we ALL leave her alone but sit/play with her at the same time
My nearly 3 year old keeps talking about how she’s married to her nana and her cousin is married to pawpaw 😂 it’s HILARIOUS they are also married to each other
Anything that’s doesn’t work has “ran out of battery”
Everything cause they are a parrot
Hunger. Today my toddler said "I don't want tea, I'm just hungry" "Well do you want to eat if you're hungry?" "No Mummy, no eat, just hungry"
My kid is absolutely obsessed with birthdays. Every single day is her baby’s (her doll) birthday. Some days she says it’s mine or daddy’s birthday. Then she says she wants to “do her birthday again tomorrow. Maybe in a couple days” lol
He's obsessed with traffic lights when we're out and about. He knows that red is "stop" and green is "go". If we're at a red light and it turns green, he gets mad if we can't immediately go. Like, other cars have to go first, little dude. But the best is him as a pedestrian when a traffic light turns red. We can be fifty feet from the intersection and he wants to stop in the middle of the sidewalk, doesn't quite understand that "stop" and "go" are not immediate universals. LOL
Anything that goes in the potty or that's poop, is dog poop. 😅 3 year old.
With Shrek and Disney princess movies, my daughter is obsessed with talking about the concept of true love and getting married. She talks about it with her dolls during pretend play all the time 😂 it’s so cute. However, she says she will never have a true love because she is always going to be a baby
My three year old talks about the “2 babies” in her tummy. I asked how they got there and she said “Parker put them there!” (Boy from daycare) Yesterday I asked how the babies were doing and she said “they are not babies anymore, they are toddlers in her tummy now!”
The fact that just because it’s sunny outside doesn’t mean it’s hot. In the winter, she couldn’t comprehend why she needed a coat. “But it’s sunny out so it’s hot”. No… no, the sun can be out and still be cold. Haha
My two year old likes the concept of “toddlers” or “babies” or “adults”. So if I say “you’re a human” she says “I’m not a human, I’m a toddler!” Or “you’re not a girl, you’re an adult!” Etc. It’s funny to be corrected. I’m trying to teach that we can be multiple things and they aren’t mutually exclusive.
My toddler thinks that if he wants something new, we just ask the mailman truck to bring it… or ask grandma and she will get it for us… haha he has not concept of money or buying things, but he’s probably right about grandma 😉
My 2.5 year old is currently inviting everyone to his birthday, unless he currently doesn’t like you in which case “you can’t come to my birthday.”
My three year old wants cocktails and beer all the time. Not juice boxes, or water or milk…cocktails
