New and Amazing
My twelve-month-old stood on the lounge next to me and looked out the window into the night sky.
He pointed upwards and said, 'Ball ... Sky ... Mummy.'
​
And I saw through his eyes what it was like to see the moon for the first time.
'I'm Not a... '
My two-and-a-half year old son and I were sitting in the park together, watching the traffic pass us by.
​
My son pointed at one vehicle and said, 'Look mummy. It's a car truck!'
'It's called a u-tility. I emphasized the first sound so it might help him to remember it.
​
He frowned and looked me straight in the eye. 'But I'm not a tillity,' he said.
Oh Wonder...
​
​I left my toddler on the potty near rolls of toilet paper.
He unrolled three or four rolls completely and then proceeded to rip them into tiny pieces.
​
What I saw looked something like this ...
Pre School News Time
​
Shakeela: 'Good morning children.'
Class: 'Good morning Shakeela.'
Shakeela: 'My mummy got a new bed.'
Teacher: 'That's nice.'
Shakeela:' Yeh, cause she got a new boyfriend.'
...But what he saw, was this.
Nothing But the Truth
​
I'd always prided myself on explaining things fully to my kids, according to their level of understanding.
​
And on this particular day my three-year-old and I got to discussing how babies were made.
​
After about twenty minutes and answering every question honestly, even to where mummy's eggs were stored in my tummy, it progressed even further.
I explained conception by saying 'Daddy fertilizes mummy's eggs with a special part of his body and that makes the egg grow into a baby.'
​
'Oh.' he said. 'But what's daddy's special part?'
​
I pictured him, at three years of age, explaining exactly how babies are conceived at preschool news and I choked.
'Awwwh... you'll have to ask Daddy,' I replied. " He'll be home in an hour."
​
And it must have been one of the few days I prayed that my husband went for a surf on the way home rather than coming home to help me in the hope my son would forget all about daddy's 'special' part.
Hello Sam
​
Our car had broken down in Goondiwindi and the only place we could find to stay was next to the highway. Every time yet another semi-trailer roared through, dust swirled up and all around us.
​
So I took our kids, Sam and Nick, to our caravan to escape. I tried to amuse them, while my husband went for a walk to see if he could possibly find us some takeaway.
​
But while checking the place out, he came across a cockatoo.
'Hello Sam... Hello Sam,' it went.
​
My husband laughed and rushed back to get us all.
​
And when we saw the cockatoo it started up again. 'Hello Sam... Hello Sam,' it said over and over again.
​
My four-year-old gasped. His jaw dropped. He clasped his hands to his face in wonder.
'But how does he know my name mummy?' he said.
Clever Mr Fox
​
I'd been trying to get my three-and-a-half-year-old son to pick up his toys by using a number of different strategies from: 'I wonder how long it'll take you to pick up your toys. You start and I'll count,' through to 'I'll see if I can pack away faster than you...'
​
After my many failed attempts he turned and just looked at me. He tipped his head to the side and said, 'You're just trying to manipulate me Mum!'
​
After I picked my jaw up off the floor, (he was only three after all,) I said, 'Yes, I am trying to manipulate you. I'm trying to manipulate you to be good.'
​
He frowned, pursing his lips in consideration. 'Oh!' he said, and nodded. Then went to pick up his toys.
​
Go figure, I thought.
But as I was congratulating myself on finally achieving some success, a thought gripped my heart with icy fingers, and squeezed.
Awwwh... What's parenting him going to be like when he's a teenager.
