I want to hear that laugh!! YEsterday DD turned on the iPad and said in just the right dramatic tone, Time to put on my game face!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767242 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 23:14:53 +0000 macintosh 2767242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took DS to a festival last weekend and they had a ton of carnival rides. He was just tall enough to go on the kiddie rides, even though he's only 2. I was afraid he might get scared but he was so brave! He rode the race cars, train, helicopters, and motorcycles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767241 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 22:56:17 +0000 gingerbebe 2767241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: omg the joking is the best! DS1 has developed this hysterical cackle that is just for when he thinks he's hilarious. It's like a Rick James cackle. He pointed at his friend Matteo and was like "das potato!" And I was like "no that's Matteo, not potato." And he goes "noooo das POTATO!" (Insert maniacal cackle). Just super corny things like that all. Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767240 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 22:51:10 +0000 808love 2767240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is so good at making up her own jokes as she has a keen sense of humor and a contagious laugh. I LOVE comedy and she is great at word play. OK this is a corny joke but it is my baby and she is being creative so I love it! What is a sheep's favorite fruit? A baaaaanana! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767235 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 22:10:17 +0000 gingerbebe 2767235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1's favorite book the last few weeks is his kid's Bible. He asks for it constantly and brings it over to read together several times a day. He has hundreds of books in his bookshelf and he decided he just loves it. He's gotten really adept at knowing the characters and points them out to us - even obscure ones like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendego or Judah. We are just so impressed!</p> <p>DS2 has gotten really verbal at 15 months, which is so surprising and wonderful since DS1 had a speech delay. He says hi, bye bye, mama, dada, muh (milk), nack (snack), all done, outside, no, yeah, this, that, baw (for ball and block, dah (for sock), doh (shoes), nigh nigh, and thank you. It's amazing (to us)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767121 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 14:04:48 +0000 yerpie110 2767121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am proud of how adaptable Dd1 is. She has never struggled with joining new classes, starting new schools, separating for the children's ministry at church, etc., even when she was younger. This week, I sent her to a new half day camp because it was free, her school's summer session is done, and I wanted to occupy her time. I was worried she would have trouble adjusting since she didn't know any children there, but she had a blast and impressed all the counselors as a result! When I said bye to her on the first day, I was about to give her my usual reminder. She cut me off and said "I know, I know, mama always comes back! Don't worry, I think I'll have fun." And off she went! Proud mama :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767118 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 14:00:51 +0000 catlady 2767118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so silly, but I'm proud that my 8 month old is finally opening his mouth and allowing us to feed him. He has been rejecting food for 3 straight months, which was so stressful, and we are finally seeing progress.</p> <p>I'm proud of my 3 year old for being so sweet to her little brother. When he's upset, she always tries so hard to cheer him up. She is so loving and it melts my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767116 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:54:22 +0000 BadgerMom 2767116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This actually happened in the beginning of the summer, but it still makes me smile when I think about it.</p> <p>We were on the playground and there was a little girl with an ice cream cone in one hand and a small box of dots candy in the other. Her mom asked her if she'd like her to hold her dots while she ate her ice cream cone and the girl said, "YES!" but she was so enthusiastic about it she shook the box of dots and they all fell out on the ground. She then tried to bend down to pick them up but didn't have a free hand. DS ran over to the girl. I thought for sure he was going to pick up the dots and eat them, but before I could say anything he picked up the dots one by one and put them back in her box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767115 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:50:52 +0000 lady baltimore 2767115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 20-month-old held up two blocks at the library yesterday and correctly labeled them "yewwow" and "gween". We haven't really been working on colors, so I was very impressed that she'd picked that up.</p> <p>She also just made it through a ten-day road trip, including several drives between 4 and 7 hours, and I only had to actively entertain/distract her for maybe 2-3 hours of the entire trip. She looked at books, played with small toys, napped, chatted, and amused herself the rest of the time. I am so proud of what a good traveler she is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767110 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:32:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2767110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 15 months. He makes me proud because he enjoys books so much. He would rather pull books off the shelves and have us read to him than play with his toys most of the time. He is also is good at helping to clean up and put away his toys and messes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767109 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:29:51 +0000 bubblegum 2767109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: @MamaG: Thank you ladies!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767099 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:15:47 +0000 justjules 2767099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The YMCA childcare director pulled me aside and said E brought so much joy to the class. She shared a story of when a girl was too shy to join their game so E went over and took her hand and invited her to join. oh my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767095 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 13:06:34 +0000 Ajsmommy 2767095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am proud every day of my DD who is the sweetest, most caring big sister. She is simply amazing. She rolls with the punches and will occupy herself if needed and if her baby brother is fussing she tries to make him happy every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767082 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:35:24 +0000 jennlin821 2767082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 8 months old, and has been on 7 flights in the past 3 months, due to a family emergency and subsequent death. She only cried once for under a minute on the last flight, because she was so tired. </p> <p>Additionally, throughout the whole process, she was everyone's light - she handled unpredictable naps, lots of people holding her, and lots of traveling around (houses, restaurants, funeral home, church, etc.), without fuss.<br /> She was a great comfort to everyone, and not an added stress. </p> <p>I'm the luckiest and proudest Mama on earth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767078 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:34:33 +0000 MamaG 2767078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: Woot! Potty training is stressful to me, good one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767077 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:34:03 +0000 MamaG 2767077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a daycare teacher tell me that my girls are happy, friendly, life loving kids. That they are just living "the life". </p> <p>The same teacher also gave me the comment of it's a shame your kids don't have cute clothes to wear, *wink*. </p> <p>My daycare is good for my parenting ego. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767072 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:21:47 +0000 wrkbrk 2767072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: Hey congratulations! That's huge!</p> <p>Small thing, but I'm proud of my son for always being labeled "happy" or "the happy kid" or "happiest toddler." I think that's even better than cutest or smartest etc etc!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/proud-parents#post-2767069 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:16:24 +0000 bubblegum 2767069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Come one, come all!
