"Favorite" mommy moments

[Pamela Donnis]

Potty training, poop, and white carpet. :gaah:

Luckily the Dirt Devil saved the day and my little artist may live until she's 2!!!!! :drama:

Let's share some of "those" mommy moments. I need to wallow a little. :giggle:

When DD was 3, she somehow got into my stamp pads (really, I have NO IDEA how she got through 2 doors to get them). Picture colorful ink handprints ALL OVER the walls and door in one room. The room required repainting! She also went through a drawing on everything with crayon phase. And she cut her own hair - 3 times - before we finally got smart and REALLY hid all the scissors.

Maybe I should just encourage her creative side?? :giggle:

ditto on potty training and white walls in my instance and yes she also luckily survived until age 5 (at the moment! :giggle: ) Paint and a lot of Handy Andy! Only thing that made a difference! Favourite Mommy moment at this time is DS Bubbles he blows and his cute chuckles! Not Mobile yet and dreading the day!

My 4 yr old, baby nail scissors and my hair! That says it all! Thank god nail scissors didnt cut much hair off! HUbby was making breakfast for my son, he decided to give mommy a haircut while she was sleeping LOL and daddy was cooking

Let's just say that my steam cleaner was the best gift I ever received. If Katie gets too quiet, I have to go track her down and more than once I've found her investigating the contents of her diaper. EWW!!!

I opened one of my craft drawers to find ALL of my scrapbooking glitter and microbeads tipped out and mixed together. Nice.

This is always the first thing that comes to mind when I think of a Mommy Moment too.

DS is 4...

A large lady walked past and my son "Mommy look at that fat lady!" and he was so dad gum loud. I was horrified....

So, I sat down with him right there and had a talk about size and the things we say -- stressing seek the beauty in people and you will find it.

So .... we are in walmart in a few days later....

old lady with a hump on her back... DS says

"Mommy look at the pretty old lady with a big ole bump on her back!"

OMG ... I quit!

My neice (4) was sitting in church with her mum and aunty last week, and blurts out loudly (right at the very quietest part of church) "Aunty, why do we have bum cheeks?" ROFLMBO. My aunty was so busy laughing she couldn't answer. My sister leaned over and whispered "So we have something soft to sit on".

[chloe]

LMAO, Laura, that's too funny! Love those stories, ladies, keep them coming, it'll help me feel better not to have kids yet! ;P

[gavins mom]

To many to count!!!

When Gavin was 4 his grandmother bought a real tool set. He LOVED them.
He came to me with his hand out one day & said 'Mommy my hand is bleeding' I went to clean off his hand only to find to mark for the blood. I asked him what he touched to get blood on his hand & he said my head.
I looked & found a perfect claw side of the hammer mark on his scalp. Apparently he was hammering his bed & hit it a little to hard & then hit his own head.

1 week later I get a call from his friends mom. Gavin is screaming in the background. She said you better get up here (thank goodness they live right behind us). He was running through the house (after he was told not to) tripped & did a header into their stone fireplace. HUGE goose egg on his forehead.

2 weeks later he was running through our house (again after he was told not to) & jumped from the kitchen to the family room (we have a small step down into the family room). Hit the rug which of course slipped out from under him & cracked his chin open on the hardwood floor.

All this in 1 month. Boys!!!

The afternoon before kindergarten began, my dd and ds were playing Mariocart Wii. She was getting upset with him for not "racing" the way she wanted him too. She flung her steering wheel at his face and broke his front tooth. We got to make an emergency visit to the pedodontist for repair. Fortunately, she was upset about it as I was. $50 later, tooth repaired. She still isn't allowed to play wii!

Olivia was my little artist and loved to use crayons on the wall or markers on herself. One of my fave times was when I was sitting on the couch with her, overtired from work and she was next to me. I was zoning out watching t.v. and the entire time, she was drawing on the wall behind us with her crayon, following the shape of the couch. Yup, we had to repaint.

Thank the good Lord above that neither of my children have been interested in poop, investigating it or smearing it. It did take Daniel until 4 years old to be completely potty trained, and that drove me nuts, since Olivia was potty trained at age 2.

My favorite story of Daniel's is from earlier this year. He had a mini scrapbook kit that I had a mini chipboard alpha. He was into spelling things and would ask me what they said . . . he wasn't spelling anything but nonsense and both of us were getting frustrated. I started trying to explain to him the letters have to go in a particular order and spelled CAT MAT BAT and then I spelled FAT. He started jumping up and down shouting, I KNOW! I KNOW! And I said what? He said, "Fat means you're wearing the wrong dress!" Now I don't know about any of the rest of you, but I believe he's gonna make some lovely young woman a FINE husband with that perspective! :giggle:

[gavins mom]

That is to funny Cheryl!!!!
He's going to fine!!!

[Pamela Donnis]

That is TOOO funny! I love these stories. Makes me feel like my mommy days are not so abnormal afterall!

Cheryl, that's fantastic! And Laura, I laughed out loud reading yours too!

not enjoying the potty thing right now. Between having to carry Jasmine in every time (until her cast is off...11 days) and Bekah's determination that it's fun to have 4 dirty diapers a day...I'm thankful that Hudson's gotten easier with his diapers. Yuck.

[Pamela Donnis]

Oh, Charla! You need this kit!

[Charla]

There it is. I knew there was a fantastic kit to use for her break, but I couldn't remember when I'd seen it. Thank you!!!

Off to scrap... :dance:

[Laura M]

This thread is amazing and so funny!

[RebeccaH]

LMBO!!! These stories are freakin' hillarious!!

I have too many "mommy" moments!! like the time my son tackled myt daughter and then drug her down the center aisle of wal-mart by the foot, both of them screaming at each other at the top of their lungs... that was embarrassing! Let's just say we shocked the everlivin' out of an older lady in one of the intersecting side aisles! lol!

[jaye2all]

well...........Braeden was 2 I believe and it had gotten way too quiet. I walked in the back room to find him with black marker all across his belly and proudly announced that he was a zebra.

Toilet training.............well he was tree trained before toilet I'm afraid. He went through a stage where he decided he wanted to pee like the dogs and he ran outside and peed off the deck. We tried explaining that little boys didn't do that and he very innocently looked at me and said 'I know mommy, when I get bigger I'll pee behind the tree like daddy and his friends do at baseball'

WalMart; he decided to drop a bomb if you know what I mean and then took off leaving me, the odour and then a man with his son came down that aisle.........I'm telling you the air was green. I could hear Braeden snickering as these folks rounded the corner and just looked at me.

Mine are things that my 3 year old daughter has said.
Last week we were in the car and she said from the back of the car, "Oh Mummy my fourth head is really warm". I wondered what she was talking about and expecting a 4 headed alien, I looked around and she was touching her forehead. I did laugh.

Yesterday her favourite carer, Kerry, left the nursery she attends and she has been really upset about it saying how much she loves Kerry and how much she will miss her. She gets really attached to these girls and this is the third one that has been her favourite. So I was trying to explain to her that although Kerry was leaving, someone else will come and work there instead and that there are plenty more fish in the sea - she wailed "Kerry is not a fish mummy, she is my best friend".

[photocowgirl]

LMBO! These are too funny!

My dd yelled "fart" in church...in her defense I did ask her if she made a stinky...

[JanHosford]

These are fun stories :giggle:
When DS was 4 he decided to try a little experiment - he packed both ears full of sand to see if he could still hear - he could!

[SunshineTK]

Oh my goodness, everyone, what FANTASTIC stories!!! I am LOL here.....:lolcry:
