A few conversations with our toddler (Speech development is my fave topic ever! )

This week I have been mostly updating my status every 30 seconds after my toddler says something that I just NEVER want to forget.


My biggest son is fast approaching 3, and after I brought my littlest Son home when biggest was 22months old, he stopped speaking!!! This carried on for months! Now however he has caught up, and literally will not shut up. He is even talking in his sleep... just luckily, it isn't continually... more like starting a random conversation or shouting Mummy or Daddy... usually just as we are nodding off!


Here are a couple:


As he was playing in his room and I was sat on his bed writing, he stopped and turned to me...


Finn: me like chicken butties... Mmmm... With mayonaise. (no food in sight... 


Just letting me know)


Proof that children DO NOT understand sarcasm!!! Ben will not learn! 


Finn: i want nanas jamas (bananas in pyjamas) on.


Ben: its not on until later.


 Finn: cries i want jamas nanas on.


 Ben: get me the phone i will tell cartoonito to stop messing you about. 


Finn: (starts looking for the phone)


Everything is 'Anyway' 


Finn: Me 'avin' a bath now Daddy


Ben: No Finn you are not having a bath now, Daddy is getting ready to go out.


Finn: (Turns the sink tap on FULL and covers him self in water)


Ben: What have you done that for?


Finn: Oh well, need a bath now anyway


The boy can eat like his Father can!!!


Finn: i will have a yogurt with some cream on. 


Me: we dont have any cream today monkey. 


Finn: well i will get some from town i am going to the shop for cream anyway.


Talking about Christmas with Finn while explaining how the advent calendar works


Finn: santa and him donkey...


 Me: that is a reindeer. 


Finn: t'isn't


Explaining the above to Ben




Me: finn thinks i have been lied to for years... He thinks someone has told me 


santas flying donkeys are bloody reindeer. 


Finn: them donkeys mummy


Watching the film 'Santa Clause'... (It has not dated well!!! but still a wonderful film!)


 Finn: donkeys. 


Me: reindeer. 


Finn: donkeys. 


Me: reindeer. 


Finn: cow??? 


Me: no!


Finn: hahaha monkey!!!


One of my favourites of the last couple of days, Finn woke up after talking in his sleep, Ben 


went to console him while I was feeding Alfie, at about 2am!


Ben:are you ok Finn? (to a wide awake finn) have you had a bad dream?


Finn: oh yes Daddy a big bad dream. I don't like my bed any more... I sleep in 


Mummy and Daddy's big bed?


Ben: Mummy Finn said-


Me: Get him a hot chocolate... anything... just keep him in his own bloody bed!!


Finn started playing, noisily while Ben made him a very milky, warm, 'hot' chocolate, then 


when Ben came back up...


Ben: here is a hot chocolate


Finn: put it over there!


Ben: oi you cheeky get! What did your last slave die of


Finn: no sleep!
