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? Because that dog thing from that movie is immediately what came to my mind. </p> <p>My son (4.5yo) told his teacher that when I die, he wants to put me in a clear plastic box so he can always see me. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769589 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 12:23:52 +0000 erinbaderin 2769589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out of the blue the other day, my 3.5 year old said to me "Mommy, if I was a dog I would be the kind of dog who climbs houses and eats people." What kind of dogs have you been around, buddy?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769588 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 12:17:29 +0000 skinnycow 2769588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (17 months) has a weird obsession with shoes lately. She always needs to be wearing some and if she sees another pair she’ll demand us to change into the other pair by sitting down, lifting her foot, and saying “shoes.”</p> <p>She’ll also bring me my shoes and make me put them on/change them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-do-weird-things#post-2769578 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:41:09 +0000 codeitall 2769578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twice this last week when I picked my 2.5 yo DS up from daycare, the daycare ladies hand me his socks with the edges of their fingers... because they're WET! He tugs them off during naptime and CHEWS on them! :shocked: </p> <p>GROSSSSSS</p> <p>What weird things have your kids said/done lately? </p>
