Usually, thankfully, it isn't coming out until I scurry him off to the potty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-things-your-toddler-says-1#post-2797819 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 19:52:06 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2797819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is potty training and holding in pee and poop so we are trying anything to get him to go. Yesterday I said ‘you gotta free the poop!’ So now it’s ‘free da poop! Free da pee! Free da toots!’ All the time :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-things-your-toddler-says-1#post-2797808 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 19:06:12 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2797808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are on day 2 of potty training and we are watching My Neighbor Totoro and my toddler calls it “toh-toh-toh”. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769948 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 06:41:58 +0000 Shree1990 2769948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my nephews had developed a fascination for anything with a hole big enough to stuff his fingers through. He would pull out clothes and look for the tiniest hold and then ram his finger through it to make the hole bigger. He made a hole so big in one of my sweaters, I had to discard it. Kids do have weird fascinations. I wish they could tell us exactly why they do it. They look really intent while doing so. It is a pity they can't explain themselves. What wonderful things we may discover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769924 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 22:22:05 +0000 macintosh 2769924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night my kid was eating a breadstick when he started to go poop in his pull up. I got him on the potty, breadstick still in hand. He must have dropped his breadstick cause I caught him reaching in to pick it up out of the poop-filled potty! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769914 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 20:04:05 +0000 SweetCaroline 2769914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has a sensory bin full of dried pinto beans. The bin is one of those Rubbermaid underbed boxes. When I get the beans out, the second I turn my back, she gets buck naked and sits inside the box to play :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769697 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 20:10:21 +0000 wrkbrk 2769697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@codeitall: Here's one. My 21 month old DS insists on touching the coffee grinds each morning when we grind beans. Then he shrieks and laughs hysterically until we wipe his hands off. Every.single.day. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769696 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 20:05:55 +0000 tinyperson 2769696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1, who's 4.5, says "I'm as silly as a jimmy jimmy girl" or "I'm fast like a jimmy jimmy girl" and other variations on that. No idea what that means. </p> <p>DD2, who's 15 months, was walking around holding things in her mouth (toy dog, tiny cabbage patch kid, toy car). Poor thing has 3 or 4 teeth coming in all at once, but it just looks so funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769692 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 19:48:52 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2769692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: hahah adorable </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769686 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 19:28:24 +0000 erinbaderin 2769686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skinnycow: @Mrs. Champagne: </p> [attach=6329/17/ov7tbc.450x600.IMG_0677.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769650 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 15:59:34 +0000 LindsayLou 2769650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought 2 pairs of clearance sunglasses for my not quite two year old. She had a pair in the beginning of the summer, but they got broken and I didn't bother replacing them sooner because she had refused to wear them. But she's obsessed with the two new pairs. She's napping with them right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769642 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 15:28:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2769642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids (4 and 20 months) found an old pack of dried up wipes and spent ten minutes pretending to change each other's diaper and standing up and "wiping" themselves. The 4 year old (who is not in diapers) actually put the wipe down her pants and then the 20 month old tried to copy. Super. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769640 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 15:16:47 +0000 bubblegum 2769640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: buddy, I promise they're not! lol</p> <p>DS takes my breast pumps and lifts it to his nips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769623 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 14:29:04 +0000 skinnycow 2769623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sauerkraut: Glad I don't have the only shoe fanatic! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769620 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:55:45 +0000 periwinklebee 2769620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: omg, that's amazing, love it :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769614 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:30:29 +0000 Shantuck 2769614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 year old son found my bra and held it up to his body and announced "I wish I was a girl because these things are so comfortable!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769607 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:19:24 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2769607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is currently napping in his new shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769604 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:17:40 +0000 sauerkraut 2769604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skinnycow: the obsession with shoes is real! My daughter does all these things. This week, she's also been really into wearing one shoe only. She'll insist on putting one on, refuse the other, and walk around the house like that all day, pleased as punch. She's like 14 month old Punky Brewster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769602 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 13:12:43 +0000 littlebug 2769602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Did he recently watch the original Ghostbusters?

Like you said, I didn't read it. But I DID read the article and here are some real quotes from her:</p> <p>"those who end up on the “other” path, that socially mandated time and space for self-reflection may never come."</p> <p>"It seemed that parenthood was the only path that provided a modicum of flexibility."</p> <p>"There’s something about saying “I need to go pick up my child” as a reason to leave the office on time that has far more gravitas than, say, “My best friend just got ghosted by her OkCupid date and needs a margarita” — but both sides are valid."</p> <p>"Bottom line: Women are bad at putting ourselves first. But when you have a child, you learn how to self-advocate to put the needs of your family first."</p> <p>Unless you, and/or that Redbook article, are implying that she did NOT say these things in the NY Post article?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-you-want-maternity-leave-without-kids-ok-heres-how-that-should-go#post-2541641 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:29:36 +0000 Rocker2014 2541641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laughed so hard I cried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-you-want-maternity-leave-without-kids-ok-heres-how-that-should-go#post-2541579 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:27:56 +0000 Happygal 2541579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh jeez. I know it's meant to be light hearted. I think that was the intent of both posts. But I hate the "us against them" type of thing with women...."you just don't understand." Or that everyone experiences maternity leave as some hellish martyrdom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-you-want-maternity-leave-without-kids-ok-heres-how-that-should-go#post-2541451 Wed, 04 May 2016 18:30:22 +0000 katsupgirl 2541451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was so good!

Wonderful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-you-want-maternity-leave-without-kids-ok-heres-how-that-should-go#post-2541285 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:23:10 +0000 Maysprout 2541285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed121: it was a bad analogy though. The article wasn't just about her book of fiction but a sort of justification. </p> <p>Maternity leave is often seen as a burden to companies that women have to fight back from to be taken seriously. If someone wants to trivialize maternity leave to sell books I'm not going to be a fan. </p>
