(not to mention say).

So I hear 'Mom, the TV's making strange noises and it's gone all funny'
I investigate.
After an interrogation I find that Anna, who is four, has put coins into the slots at the back of it.
The said TV is now angry and confused, Anna is crying tears that are making 'plop' sounds on the floor.
Yell? Laugh? Cry? (it was my bedroom TV ed-dammit!)

:rolleyes:

Laugh. It's all you can do. I have 2 four year olds. Sometimes I feel like if I start yelling or crying, I won't be able to stop.


Whomp!
 
Did you know a ceiling fan can make a great amusement park ride for Barbies?

Write these stories down. As vivid as they are now, you will forget some of them.
 
Tell her to wait 'til Daddy gets home . . ." :mad:

Just kidding. If I never post again though, you'll all know I've been electrocuted trying to extract pennies from the back of a TV.

When I was about six, I pulled up my Grandad's destined-to-be-prize sunflower and threw it over a hedge. It thought it was a weed, honest!

;)
 
When my niece was little she said that when she grew up she was going to marry me. I explained to her that since we were related we couldn't get married so she said, "Okay, then I'll marry grandma!"
 
DVD players, way harder than a VHS player for sticking things in. Endless little things made by Little Tykes and First Years and legos. once, I found a sandwich.
 
Unattended children in the bedroom whilst my wife napped in the living room.

A large container of Powdered Nestlé Quik (an instant chocolate milk).

A white carpet.

Two perfectly formed "Quik Angels" on said carpet
 
Husband left son aged 4 unattended in workroom at our office.

Child photocopied every moveable item in the room. Them moved on to his body *after removing clothes).

Then put pictures in the fax machine and hit the autosend buttons randomly.

Years later collegues still talk about some of those faxes, all of which printed out at the recipients end with our fax address at the top.

So nobody told you that white carpet and small kids don't mix? You are indeed a brave soul. The benefits of decorating 'Southwestern' is that everything is various shades of brown, from sand to chocolate. When the kids move out I'm painting everything white and getting white funiture. Probably will end up with one of those nice white jackets as well.


Boo:wink8:
 
Wifey hears sweet little voice from not-quite-3-year-old little did's room: "Mommy, I barfed!" She investigates. He has found, opened, eaten, and, yes, barfed, Paas easter egg dye. I'm sure you can imagine what his carpet now looks like!

this is so funny!!!!

White? What's white????

even though my kids are older, I work with 3 year olds....
white is a vague memory.
 
I apparently actually swung by the chandaleers at my grandmother's house as a kid. They had a desk close enough to a low one that I was able to get a hold and swing.
 
When I was 3 years old or so, I actually bit off part of a drinking glass! (Can´t remember why, though...)

I must have chewed the bit-off piece a bit (I don´t remember it too well), because after I spit it out, my parents were fitting the glass together to make sure I didn´t swallow any parts.
 
I was taken to the hospital for eating a christmas tree lightbulb. you know, the big old ones. Apparently it was on the tree and lit, and I ran up and chowed down before they could stop me.

I've always been a bright boy.
 
Naptime.
Artistic child.
Wakes up and is quiet.
Dirty diaper.
Bare walls.

You figure it out. I'm sorry, Mom.
------------------

My friend drank paint as a child - his dad had put white paint in a milk bottle, and said friend, being three, thought it was milk. He took a big swig.
 
Naughty Moe!

Pool Boy is famous for chucking his empty bottle from his crib into the hallway and yelling, "MORE!" to his parents. Our kids I trained to yell, "MORE PLEASE!"

Whao, kudos to you for raising 4 two year olds, and before that-4 newborns!


I love this thread!

Hey, my artistic child (2nd) has been the only one to decorate his crib in poo too! My one year old hasn't figured out how to get her clothes off yet, but her diaper is another matter. We don't let her sleep without clothes on in only a diaper, so maybe we won't find her decorating anything - we have yet to find out I'm sure!


My one year old has just worked very hard to unplug the vacuum cleaner (with her tongue out while she worked), and now has walked over to my chair with the end. It won't go any farther, and now she is complaining very loudly. Poor baby!

Yeah, I only stop them when they try to plug in things , specially when they aren't cords. Unplugging keeps her busy for a few minutes, and is relatively safe.

I have to put the vacuum away now.
 
Ahh yes...
The lovely feces artwork. We've actually had to create special clothing to keep our son from getting to his diaper.

We're currently in the "spit juice and milk on the floor" phase.

Then there was the items up the nose phase. Rocks, food, chewed paper, wood etc...

And the "chew holes in all oyur shirts" phase...

and the "unlock the windows, push out the screens and escape" phase.

and the "now that dad screwed all the windows shut, break the glass to push out the screens and escape" phase

Laughing becomes much more difficult with time.

Whomp!
