Kids Are funny!
My 16 year old granddaughter was entertaining her twin four year old sisters last week.
She was playing a game where they got one point each for each game task completed.
As they each won, she put a mark on their hand.
Their Mom came in and saw the marks on their hands and jokingly said to my granddaughter "don't draw on my kids!
The younger of the twins came back in the room, very serious, finger extended to issue a stern warning to her older sister.
"Lola, I told you not to draw on mummies kids"!
I cracked up! I can see her delivery in my mind. Head tilted looking up through her glasses, she is a riot!
They are all adorable! You are in for a lot of fun as she learns more!
They are unpredictable, so your day changes to suit the fun they make!
Yeh well adults should know, good ideas take a while to sort out!
Wow! Great stories!
How do they know how get the delivery so dramatic at age three?hee hee!!!!that is beyond adorable!
when my son was a toddler, he always wanted to do things his parents did...if his father wore a blue shirt, he wanted to wear one too then he would pat his chest and say 'i am same-same like you, Daddy!'. he loved to go around the cocktail table and drink from your glass...one time i had a glass of Coca-Cola, which he had never had before, and before i could stop him, he picked it up and took a long drink then went "ahhh!", which was followed by the loudest burp you ever heard. i guess it stung his nose because he went from smiling to a look of pure fear and started crying
poor little guy. when he first learned to flush the toilet, things started disappearing around the house, including two watches. one night i thought hmm who's flushing that toilet so much and i opened the door and there he was holding one of my pink foam curlers poised over the toilet so i knew he was flushing stuff down it. i asked if he had flushed mommy's watch down the toilet and he just put his lips together really firmly and didn't say a word. ater explaining why it wasn't a good idea to flush things like watches and stuff down the toilet, that was the end of thatHe sounds so much like Angus my 5 year old grandson! He has destroyed or lost every thing that he could gain access to up until recently!
He is naughty, mischievous, very smart and adorable!
Last month he got new glasses, though a tantrum and destroyed them an hour after getting them. He is the most loving older brother to the twins, and calls them "his girls."
You know I reckon all kids are different. Some are "naughty" and some not so much. It does not seem to vary with sex so much as just child to child.
I have this theory that they should be allowed to behave like Narcissus until they are about seven. They get to grow up to really be themselves!i agree with your theory!
yes my son was a little explorer, always getting into something and he would always give you that innocent 'who, me?' look...he has no siblings but has always been very respectful and kind to others kids, especially ones younger than him. you sound like a wonderful grandpa and i know you were a great daddy!Your little boy sounds wonderful!
I have many stories, as it goes with having many kids! lol Now don't get me started tonight...it's a little too late at night (er, morning now...)
Please Beth, a nightcap!
Okay, a quick one just for you Earnest! When my youngest was 13 months old, I dressed him up with antlers and a red striped outfit. I sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to him for a total of 3 times. Before I could begin the fourth time, he stopped me by putting up his hand in the air, and said "ssshhh". He then stood up on the bed, started singing the song and began prancing like a reindeer. It was one of the few times I actually caught him on video performing. I wonder what his performance will be this year!
Have a good day Earnest!I have wondered the same thing! They are just terribly smart these days is my guess.They don't miss much!
That is such a lovely experience. They are priceless!

She sounds like a real New York kid to me. Smart town. Smart kids!
Wow! The posts here are great. Make me wish I have my own kid. What we have right now is our niece and she's really something. She's just 3 and she's learning her alphabet. Her most funny letter is 'W', she says "bayoyo"
.
One time we were watching this kid show (a funny one) and the joke was that this little kid cried because he knows he'll get his way when he cries. My niece just looked at me and smiled like saying "hehehe, that's what I'll do Mommy, to get my own way" (she calls me mommy). Fat chance!Fat chance you reckon! Some advice from a grandfather of six.
She will soon have you trained!Not if we can help it!
Some people are already telling me I make her cry all the time. Jeezz, they just do not know that is her strategy. Kids, one minute you love them, another, you want to strangle them I have trouble being serious with them, they always crack me up!
Actually, me too. And then my husband (who's more strict than I am) just look at me as if saying "don't just stand there laughing! give her a reprimand for what she did." But it's really difficult when she looks at me wide-eyed as if saying she didn't do anything wrong. And then she'll suddenly hug me and tell me she loves me. These just melt my heart.
That is so sweet!
The more patient and calm you are, the better they grow up in my view! Hope so.
It's kind of frightening to be taking care of a kid not your own. Don't know which is more scary, caring for your own kid or caring for another person's kid.I would suggest both are scary. It is such a big job to care for a child, and it never ends!
I am a fully trained grandfather. I do exactly as I am told!
I am totally convinced they are smarter.
you didn't mean it!
Three is a lot to look after though!
I often looked after 3 under 3 years old for my daughter. They are 4 (twin girls) and a boy 5 now Much easier without the nappies!
They do take it out of you.
