Toddler Funnies

[KrisM]

When asked what someone's name is, DS will respond with a color. Whatever you're wearing today is your name. Today, I am gray, DD is white, and DH is blue. It cracks me up every time.

What funny things are your toddlers saying/doing these days?

You have got to get Dr. Suess's Many Colored Days (I think it's called). Interestingly, I just finished reading it to Kaya tonight.

For interesting sayings...well, I was just talking to some friends about this very topic (isn't 2 and 3 such an interesting age?) and here are some of her recent sayings:

Kaya recently announced that Mommy and Kaya have a vagina and Daddy doesn't, but Daddy has a butt and Kaya and Mommy also have a butt.

Yesterday, on the way to the train station, she suddenly started yelling, "Boat, boat, Kaya sees a boat!" (She will either refer to herself in the third person or she will use "you" instead of "I") DH and I looked around and saw a funny looking white van that kind of looked like it could be a boat. We said, "Oh, actually, that's a van!" She looked again and said, "Van, van, van...actually, that's a boat!" She seems to like "correcting" us. When we got to the train station, she pointed to a yellow car and said, "Actually, that's a boat." And she had this huge mischievous grin on her face. Yes, she was yanking our chain.

Oh, and Kaya is now mostly day potty trained and one day she was sitting on the potty and she looked down and said, "There's a little bit of pee in there and lots and lots of poop!" I had a hard time not cracking up. And then when she finished, she stood up, looked down and said, "That's a big pile of poop!...and a little bit of pee..."

Sometimes she'll put her shoes on backwards on purpose and when you point it out, she'll look up and say, "It doesn't matter." If you try to suggest that maybe it'll be more comfortable the other way, she'll repeat, "It doesn't matter!" I know she knows the difference because sometimes she'll put them on the regular way and point down and say, "That's not backwards." But this is a girl who likes to put her clothes on backwards (especially the ones with buttons in the back because she LOVES buttons), so to each her own, right? :)

It sounds like she's getting a good sense of humor! I like the boat/van story :).

I was reminded of another thing DS has been saying. He thinks DD takes a bath in a boat! It's just a baby tub, of course :). After her first bath, he then needed a bath in the boat, which was quite a sight.

Funny thing--Kaya uses her bathtub as a boat sometimes! We're still taking baths in her Ikea toddler bathtub, so she'll have one and the baby will have one (the safe comfort, I think it's called). My guess is she'll want to get into it when the baby comes out though.

Oh, by the way, today, she skipped her nap. She played in the crib with her animals and at one point, I heard her yelling something about Lambie (her lovey). I went in (this was 8 minutes in) just in case she had lost her Lambie. Instead, she looked up with a smile on her face and announced, "Lambie's drinking milk!" She had Lambie's head in her sleepsack and was "nursing" him. It was so cute! Then she wanted to get out, but I explained to her that Mommy and Daddy were really tired and needed a nap, so she needed to stay in her crib for an hour so we could take a nap. She didn't need to sleep and she could feed the rest of her animals if she wanted. Thankfully, she agreed and she did end up staying in her crib for a little over an hour!

Well Linnea is not quite a toddler but I think this qualifies. I had a bag of garbage tied up and waiting to be taken out. Linnea somehow got it open and discovered the lid to a cake container that had frosting all over it. I discovered her with her head all the way inside eating the frosting off of it. So I tied it up again. Five minutes later she was at it again! I don't know how she did it. And I was only a few yards away. Man was she fast. Let's just hope there was no dairy in the frosting to make her sick, sigh.

Besides saying, "approprietly", "Oh, sh!t!" Erik seems fascinated with Thomas and...The Godfather.

The other morning I asked, "Jason, want some toast?" He seemed pretty agreeable. I looked away, looked back, and he was eating his TOES! :)

Oh that's FUNNY. What a cute thing to do.

Avi is developing a really cute sense of humor. His newest things that he says:

He knows all the numbers 1-10 but he will go, "one, two, three, four, BOAT!" and then repeat because we all burst out laughing.

He went and hid under the table yesterday and was calling out, avi, where are you, avi? avi? it was also very funny.

Avi also knows alot of the sounds that animals make, such as a lion or tiger, but if you ask him what sound an animal like a frog makes he says "hi" in a very high pitched tone.

Avi also says "fire truck" but it sounds like "foo truck" with F substituting the t in truck and without the r.

this is more sweet than funny - but in the morning he will wake up and come into my room to snuggle. after a while he will get up, look out the window, and say "wake up, mom! it's a beautiful day!" ("boo-ful day"). Then I say "you're a beautiful boy" and he replies "you're a beautiful mommy!" It melts my heart and is the best way to start the day.

One day we were driving in the car and I said to myself "G-d dammit, I forgot to go the bank." So now a lot of what he says is prefered by G-D, or also "oh my god" - so someone needs to start watching their language (me!)

last one - DH thought it would be cute to teach Will that when he farts, it's called having a "frog in your diaper." So everytime he does it, he announces "mommy, it's a frog! A frog in my diaper!" Problem is, for a two and a half year old, "frog" and "fart" are pretty much indisinguishable. And he says it a lot. In public. Bless his heart, he was able to pick up the word "toot" in just two tries...but DH is back in town tomorrow so I am sure all that progress will be wiped out in no time.
