Since I occasionally start this type of thread, I thought I'd make an "official" one. This morning I was getting my nearly 3 year old daughter into the car to go to daycare. I commented that it was wet and rainy this morning. We had just put up a new swingset for her last Friday and after the rainy day comment, she remarked "I can't play on the swingset". I said "Not unless things dry up". She replied "We have to get some towels!"

I know that 3 yr olds can be a real laugh riot sometimes. Here's a good one: Many years ago, while at the home of an boyfriend (BH - Before Hubby), his brother, sister-in-law, and their two children (a girl aged 3 and a baby boy) were also over there. The family went into a bedroom to talk while the mom was diapering the baby and whatever they were talking about had the dad replying, "It was a real pain in the ass!" A short time later, while I was crossing in front of the door to this room, the little girl came out, looked up at me and, in a very matter of fact voice, said: "Yes, it's a real pain in the ass!" I nearly fell over. Julia |

^^^ :lol: I can picture that. I have found that I definitely have to watch what I say these days around my daughter because it WILL be repeated. Swidden, You're right, she was very serious and it was all I could do to keep from bursting into laughter.

Okay, had one happen today. 7 year old niece was over for awhile. She had left a winter jacket here for my wife to repair a rip in it. Well, my wife got a cute iron-on patch to put over the tear. She went to fix it and when she pulled the iron back up a good chunk of the jacket came with it. Naturally the tear is now a hole in the shape of the iron. Our niece, standing nearby, matter of factly says, "I don't think you can fix that one Auntie!" and immediately bursts into laughter. Her jacket might be ruined and she thinks this is one of the funniest things she has ever seen. Long story short: After dropping our still laughing niece off at home, my wife and I went to the local fabric/craft store and got a larger patch. The jacket is fixed, complete with Disney Princess images on the patch. The kid is going to be shocked, but she'll still be laughing about the hole that used to be there... |

Ok - my turn. On Saturday we went out of town to visit a cousin that lives 2 hours north of Toronto. Well, on the drive we kept pointing out all the farm animals to my 3 year old and she was quite excited to see them all. At one point we said - "look, there are some horsies!" Her reply was "Yes - and they are real!"

Well Min, I guess you don't have to worry about her not separating fact from fiction! She's a smart one! Julia |

In the week before the Presidential election, there was a road on the way to my daughter's daycare with some Kerry and Bush signs. We used to go by the Kerry ones and say "Yay!" and then "Boo" by the Bush signs. (Ok, before someone chastises me, you already knew who I supported.) Well, we haven't done that since the elections because the signs were taken down. Then yesterday, we drove by a car with a Bush bumper sticker so I said "boo". My daughter said "boo" without knowing what I had been talking about. I explained that it was a Bush sticker, not a Kerry sticker to which my daughter said "Yay!" I said "No, it's NOT a Kerry sticker. She said "Yay!" I said "Why are you saying 'Yay!'? She replied, "I'm saying 'Yay!' for John Kerry!" That was funny enough, but then this morning as we drove by the area that used to have the Kerry signs, completely on her own she said "Yay!" :lol: (By the way, it's where my new title came from. )

Don't make me use my bare hands on you.

Last night I was trying to get my three year old to finish pottying. I kept asking her if she was done and she would say 'no'. And finally I said why aren't you done and she said "because the potty doesn't want tee-tee in it right now." I couldn't argue with that. The other day she was trying to watch Mary Poppins and my youngest was making all sorts of noise and so she says "The noise is not making me want to watch TV". She meant the noise was interfering with her ability to hear the thing. I thought that it was funny. She also keeps telling me that she is going to grow up to be bigger than me. I am 6' 4.5" tall and 195 Lbs. |

Was this at bedtime by any chance? My daughter has been starting all the delaying games lately at bedtime including "never" being done on the potty. Speaking of bedtime, last night she went to bed. Then my wife went to bed a short time later. I stayed up to watch a DS9 episode. A half hour into the episode, my daughter wandered out into the family room. When asked why she was up, she said she wanted me to come to bed. I explained that I wasn't ready and that she need to return to bed. I picked her up and started to bring her back to bed, but her pillow and favorite blanket were missing. They turned up between my wife's and my pillow on our bed - my wife was fast asleep and didn't know a thing!

My daughter also has a ton of stuffed animals, but doesn't really have a favorite. She has come close a few times, but eventually changed "favorites". Lately, she doesn't seem to care much about any of them. She does care about her blanket though, but only at bedtime. |
