That pesky toddler that I love so dearly has been at it again, my little comedian never let’s me down. This week he has been obsessed with saying “just“. Like everything should be on hold while he just finishes what he is doing. At first, it was cute with his pointer finger held up in the air, “just wait Mommy”. But as the week went on it got sassier and with a little more attitude.
Here are a few of those just to give you an idea.
“I just need to do this first,” pointer in my face.
I asked if he wanted to go outside, he answered, “Not just yet, do you mind?”
Told him to get off the stairs, he replied, “I just want to put my bum here, ok?”
Instead of I’m hungry, I heard, “My mouth just needs some food, Mommy!”
“Can you just move my sister.”
“I just don’t think I am tired.”
“Just leave me alone.”
“No, just do this, not that.”
“I think I just need more for my belly.” regarding birthday cake. *don’t we all.
I don’t know where the just is coming from, but it’s popping up everywhere for everything. And if you could hear his sarcasm with it, it would be a whole lot funnier.
And of course with every toddler, especially boys, I get plenty of the poo funnies too. The potty training is going really well now but he has become his own cheerleader to my disgust.
“Get out of my bum”
“My poo isn’t listening, Mommy.”
“Bye, bye poo,” as it went down the toilet.
“I dirty my potty, you clean it Mommy.”
“My poo stinks, huh?”
“Hee hee I just need to toot, then poo.”
“My bum talks.”
“Can I show my poo to Granny?”
“I a good boy, poo came from my belly.”
Isn’t it nice to get so many narratives while he does his business. Daddy is impressed, Mommy not so much. It’s bad enough he makes me sit right next to him and experience the whole thing with him and I have to clean it up too. I don’t need him to tell me how it smells, and what it looks like I am right there! I know! Just go on the big toilet already!!!
These are the ramblings of my toddler, our ordinary moments, written down to laugh, cherish, and look back to in years to come. It’s a stage in life that is highly entertaining, misunderstood and most the time embarrassing but I wouldn’t surpass this stage if you paid me to. I love these ordinary moments of ours.
Are your toddlers saying anything funny this week? Comment below, we love a good laugh in this house. Stay tuned for more next week!
Haha, I bet granny was pleased to see the poo. “Not great’ as my 4 year old would say!
Ah Jenny, hilarious post! Right from the first line, great opener! Really funny and love all the little things he says, so cute and this will be so much fun to show him when he’s older! Xx
Hehe that’s so funny. He sounds so cute and almost grown up too. The potty training must make you chuckle a lot!! Z always says “one minute mummy”, little monkey 🙂
Too cute, what is it they say, “kids say the darnest things”?
So true Emma they really do!
Ahh bless them they are such little entertainers.
They certainly do Emma. So funny.
Thank you. At first I kept forgetting them all. So now I run and write it down. I love to look back over the week and see what he says. Hilarious. Definitely good for when he is older.
This is so cute and funny, love the poo talk lol my son does a lot of that too, he likes to have a full on conversation with his poo before he flushes it away haha! #ordinarymoments
Yes those poo conversations will be great for his 18th birthday or meeting his first girlfriend. hahahaa
Haha what is it about poo!? Mads is the same, constantly jabbering on about it! I love the ‘Can I show my poo to Granny?’ Ha ha so funny, I am sure Granny would have loved that. :0)
I know I told her and she laughed her head off. I wish there was more privacy to it all. Hahahaha
I bet Granny would love to see his poo 😀
Ah my 3 yr old’s favourite word is ‘just’. He uses it all the time, it feels like it anyway! Kids are hilarious 🙂
Aw that is really funny! I love the poo talk, hilarious and the ‘just’ is just the beginning, mine use it a lot and it drives me crazy. He sounds like such a cute little character. Thank you for linking up
Well come on over, we have plenty of poo talk going on here and just when it’s about to stop I will have Missy Moo talking poo!
That is JUST too cute! 🙂
Thanks so much. It’s highly amusing in our house at the moment.
Thanks Ruth. I know I don’t know where they get the just… from but it is highly entertaining.
hahahah I know I couldn’t believe he wanted me to save it for her. hahaha Boys will be boys.
Oh grim. Isn’t it just revolting the way children deal with toilet matters. N always asks ‘is it a dirty one’, then peers down the toilet!
I know. I wish I didn’t have to hear, smell and experience it all with them! lol I have all this to come again soon with Missy Moo. Hopefully she is more ladylike but something tells me that’s not an option. lol
