The 3year old was building Lego with Grandad earlier. I walked in and said ‘that’s lovely, is it a big castle?’ ‘No,’ says the 3year old, ‘it’s a big block of flats!!’
Growing up!
Me telling 3year old about his holidays: you can ride a horse, like I did when I was a little girl.. 3yo: you like horsies, mummy?!
Me: yes, I used to ride horses every weekend when I was little like you. 3yo: did you leave me at home, when you was riding horsies, mummy?
Me: no, you were not born yet then, you were not even in mummy’s tummy back then.
3yo: oh! It was when you was a little girl and you had small boobies…but now you are getting big like daddy!

Bellybutton
Little Sam came running in to me naked shouting ‘mummy, mummy I have a hole in my belly button!’
What am I?
Sam (3) pipes up from the back of the car
"Look me, look me – I’m not wrapped up in a bundle, but I’m still a bundle of joy"

A brief guide to baby-talk
Just stumbled on this in a book today and thought it was worth sharing:
A brief guide to baby-talk:
Takes after his father: Snores and suffers from wind;
No trouble at all: We have a nanny;
Loves books: Sucks them;
Advanced for his age: Likes a drop of gin in his milk;
Loveable: Fat.

Berries
Driving to the library with 3yo the other day…
Him: Mummy,Mummy I have something to tell you.
Me: What is it?
Him: Liberry is not the same as blueberry!
Yeah but…..
Son almost 3.
Told him I read today of a girl who at 3 can read/write/count to 50.
He looked back and said :"Yea, but can she bounce on a trampoline"

Dirty company….
Driving through Sandyford industrial estate, my true geekiness came out when I pointed out the Microsoft building to Sam.
"There’s Microsoft, Sam – they make software"
"Microsoft? I don’t like Microsoft".
"Oh, why don’t you like Microsoft"
"Microsoft is dirty"
From the mouths of babes !
Priorities
Finding receipts on the table having overheard parents talking about VAT returns.
Son (4): Daddy will these go to the government.
Dad: What? oh, yes they will.
Son: So you can keep more money?
Dad: yes so we can hold on to more of our money.
Son: Great so you can bring me to the amusement park.
