Kids crack me up!

The funniest thing to date my (almost) 3 year old has done happend at bedtime one night. It was not long after he transitioned into a toddler bed in preperation of our 2nd child being born. He was almost 2 at the time. He was struggling with falling asleep now that he had discovered that he did not have to stay in bed. After many trips into the room to put him back in bed (we only really went in when it sounded like he was gonna bust through the door with his kicks or something like that), I threw open the door and could not see him at first....then I found him over in the corner in the dark, wearing his hat, coat & boots (his room is just off the front entrance so all his stuff hangs in his room on a little rack). He looked up at me in the darkness, very seriously, and said "I all done sleeping now, time to go". It was so hard to keep a straight face!

The funniest thing my 11 month old does is more of a 'really cute gotta see it' thing. Whenever we get a large item in a box, we cut a window in it and let the kids play in it until it is broken. We keep it pushed into a corner of the room so it is not too in the way (although it is an eye sore!). He loves to disappear into the box for lengthy periods of time & just sit there. Whenever he notices you watching him, he gets a huge grin and just loses it into a fit of giggles. It is so funny,

My daughter (who will be 4 next month) says the funniest things all the time. Here are a few examples:

This summer she started getting excited every time she saw a Canada flag (which is weird in itself because we see them all the time) so she started pointing and going "Canada Flag...duh duh duh" and then stating which number flag it was (the 10 minute drive to my parents involved counting up to 27) this eventually led to her pointing, saying "Canada flag, duh duh duh, #", moving her arms in a circle and clapping once for each flag. One day I asked her why she liked Canada flags so much and her response was, "I don't know, I just love them, I love Canada flags and money"

My aunt was born without part of her foot and Hannah met her for the first time this summer as they live far away and she said "you should drink more milk and eat meat so your foot will grow"

About a month or so ago we were at my grandmother's for supper. She was making spaghetti and I chose not to have any and when Hannah asked why I told her I was trying to stay away from pasta. I came into the kitchen where they were eating at one point and she starting yelling at me in a panicking voice to get out of the kitchen because I was getting too close to the pasta

When we asked Hannah what she wants for Christmas her response is always batteries. When I ask if there is anything else she says "some toys for Matthew (my 3 month old) and that should be good", I said don't you want any toys, "No, I have enough toys mommy"

When I was pregnant with Matthew we asked Hannah if she wanted a brother or a sister and her response was "I want a brother and a sister, but only one at a time"

When Hannah counts in the 20s it's twenty number one, twenty number two and so on, but when she gets to the 30s and beyond she says thirtyone, thirtytwo, etc.

One day she smacked me on the bum and when I asked her why she did that she said "I like smackin butts"

I'm sure we'll have lots to keep us entertained with Matthew but he's only 3 months right now so nothing yet...

Miss 5 at the time was at a talk at the zoo with lots of other families..zoo guy - Whats your favourite animal? Miss 5 - Mummy Zebra! Zoo guy - Mummy Zebra? Miss 5 - Yes, my mummy has stripes on her tummy like a Zebra. Mmmhmm she was referring to my stretch marks...Awesome.
She also spends alot of time at her nans rest home i lost her in the supermarket one day to find her in the next aisle accosting some elderly man - ''Hey you old man what are you doing out? Your supposed to be at my nans work!"

Nothing like a childs honesty to completely shame you out.
