Haha, this made me laugh! I also have to be careful with what I say (like that) around my 2 1/2 year old . . . I never know what she is going to say next.
-
LOL!!!!! that’s GREAT!

HAHA! I have to tell you I can relate….........my daughter recently while I was getting dressed pointed up at me and said “Big belly!!!“
Oh the things they say!

My toddler sometimes falls asleep naked. Amazingly, he never goes on the bed (I mean for naps - I’m sure night would be a different story). He goes everywhere else if he gets half a chance (which he often does), but he has to wake up to go, and I put him on the potty right when he wakes up. Your mileage may vary!
This is hilarious though. My kid’s current favorite thing to do is pull up my shirt and yell BELLY! BELLY! He did it in church the other day. Yeah I don’t really want everyone to see my stretch marks, kid, glad you appreciate them though!

Lately my 3 year old has been obsessed with my boobs, which weren’t much to speak of prior to bf’ing, and certainly not after. A few weeks ago at my mom & step-dad’s house, in front of company, she reached into my shirt and asked if I had big boobies. I said sadly, no baby; mama doesn’t have big boobies. Her response was, oh, you just have little boobies?....accompanied by a look that could only be described as pity.
Much laughter ensued from the grown-ups.

This is one of the best things I have ever read. Y’know it’s all comparitive :)

Hi I love your blog!! I have a 7 month old little girl and I relate to your stories. I laughed so much during this blog post thank you for sharing :)
-
I just laughed out loud! So funny!
Hadley said to me the other day “Mama, do you smell that? It’s your who-hah!“ (female parts, in case you were wondering). Not sure how she determined I was stinky as she wasn’t near me, but I hauled my ass to the shower just for safety.
-
hilarious…as i was reading, i was wondering where the story was going. and what, exactly, was your reaction?!
-
Well… compared to her’s, it’s big(ger). But seriously. All things to a kidlet have got to be huge. I just know to never wear a bathing suit around your child, lest she slaps my behind and yells “PLANET!!!“
-
OMG I love her!
-
Hilarious!
We love naked time too, around here it’s known as free-ranging :) -
This made me laugh out loud! Thank you!

That is HILARIOUS. Sadie is in a similar phase. “I’m just wittle.“ “You big.“ Two things I’ve picked up on that might be worth sharing (unless Charlotte insists that she is “big”). 1. When there’s something she can’t have because it’s truly too dangerous, I tell Sadie, “That’s for people who are big. Are you big?“ to which she replies, “No, I just wittle,“ and magically (and, I’m sure, for a limited time only) drops the issue. 2. When Sadie asks for more of something, but she’s really had enough, I’ve had to retrain myself out of saying, “You can have just a little bit,“ because her reply is ALWAYS, “I wanna BIG one.“ So, now I tell her, “Here, you can have a big one,“ while giving her a little bit. Of course, that will wear out before too long, too. Gotta use that childhood ignorance while it lasts!

Yeah, well, at least she didn’t grab your belly chub after a steak dinner and ask, “Momma, how come your belly is getting fat again and my baby sister was already born?“ *pout*
-
Big Bottom!! LOL….
I remember when Zack hated showers. We finally figured out it was because he was afraid of getting soap in his eyes so we modified how we bathed him and all was well in his world again. But for awhile… oh the tears…..
-
Taryn - FREE RANGING?! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Best name EVER!
Brooke - So far we haven’t run into either of those issues. For one, I don’t ever really tell her that she’s a big girl. It’s very rare. So I don’t think she’s made that connection yet, but since she hears it from others I’m sure she will soon! And with food, she usually just eats what I give her or less and is fine with it. When she wants more, it’s usually peas, berries, or cheese. I don’t mind giving her more of those and just telling her we’re out the following day. But I like the way you handle it because I think Charlotte’s right around the corner from starting to ask for big helpings of what she likes or wants more of.
-
Heidi - I said “Big bottom? What? That’s silly! Momma has a momma-sized bottom! You have a baby-sized bottom, huh?“ Then she was successfully busied examining her own butt.
-
awesome. purely awesome!
-
THIS STORY is the BEST!
-
Great reaction, Sarah, divert their attention - and ya know, it works for Years !~!
-
Hilarious! Reminds me of the time my daughter told me she likes how my belly is fat now [so she can slap and pinch it while she’s nursing.]
-
Ooops, its all relative. I’m sure she was just comparing it to hers!
