Wot So Funee

We're going through that terrible threes phase (yes 3 not 2!!!) where little one can be defiant, disobedient, determined, deaf when it suits him, and downright annoying!  It is a challenging phase, mixed with alternate highs and lows.  The highs are very very high as at this age they do and say wonderful things, but I find myself shouting more and more often and I don't like it.

Anyway WOT SO FUNEE?

Well..... the other day, at the dining table, Aaron said something very clever cloggs to me (can't even remember what it was as the adrenaline rush that the terrible 3s are giving me are also giving me brain mush) and as I was at the end of my tether, I found myself saying:

"Smart arse!"

I instantly regretted it.  Wished I could take it back.  Predicted the 2 months it would take me to get HIM to now stop saying it.  3 year olds are parrots, but he looked at me, and said:

"s'matoes" [followed by an intense quizzical look as he wondered if he'd got it right]

I laughed for about 10 minutes as it sounded like tomatoes with an S in the front.  It just tickled me, and I guess I was relieved (big style)!

He couldn't understand why I was laughing but he joined in anyway.  As my laugh eventually started to subside, he tried to say it again to get the same reaction, but I was spent.

What have you said that gets repeated?  Are you also going through the terrible (which is sometimes awesome) 3s?

Wot So Funee

So I am joining in with Wot So Funee for the second week in a row.  This may just become a habit...

I have photos AND video to go with what I am going to describe but alas, messy me, has misplaced the USB cable OR Aaron has flung it somewhere, as is his way :-(

So Friday, we were in the pool (we went swimming for two hours) and as Aaron often wathches Jake and the Neverland Pirates, he held his fist up to his eye (like a telescope - which he has never done before) and said:

"harrr harrr
I am cap'ain hook!
Can I have my treasure back!
Please!"

Yes, he really does drop the "t" in Captain.

The please at the end had me laughing till I cried, so so so cute, and I have since managed to capture him doing it on video a few times - will upload when I can find that DAMN cable!

Also, in the same pool, on the same day, the same boy was also funny for a second time.  Remember last week when he decisively told me that I am NOT a Princess? Well this is similarly funny at Mummy's expense.

He was hanging off the railing, that accompanies the steps that go into the Learning Pool, and something about the way he was doing it triggered a memory... (because I can't remember anything before the age of four and Aaron is only two this doesn't often happen)

and I said to him

"ahhhh you are swinging in the water on those railings the way Mummy did when she was little!"

To which he said:

"Mummy was little?"

To which I said

"yes, 40 years ago"

To which he said

"oh dear" 

and just to make certain I understood the sentiment it was followed with

"that's not good".

For some reason, his little wisdom made me howl with laughter.

My little man is far too wise, far too clever, and at least once a day, far too FUNNY.

That's why I love this linky as it is forcing me to record these moments.

Moments I would love to share with him when he is older.
