What fond memories do you have of your kids when they were small???

Besides the tea parties and scavenger hunts I used to have with my daughter, I recall her having a blast when we would both put on thick white socks and fill a couple of squirt bottle with mild soapy water then squirt the kitchen floor down and sock skate....this was fun for her and got my kitchen floor clean at same time

my daughter just turned 7months old so all my memories of her so far are awesome....but as for the sock skating im so going to do that when she gets older. thanks for the idea lilangel

my daughter and i kept a diary together. if either us had something on our minds we would write it in the diary and keep it under the towels in the linen closet. it was a fun way share something special between us.

Oohhhhh that is a sweet age You have alot of memories to make yet...my daughter will be 16 in Aug...guess I'm feeling a bit sad about her growing up...

Your little girl will love sock skating

yes im sure she will she already seems enthralled with bubbles :)

the things they said and the way they said them...and the petting zoo time

I remember when my daughter was about 2 years old when she had to do....ummm....number 2....she would hide behind the recliner.

I also remember my son crawling under the Christmas Tree and taking all the bows off of the pretty packages. KIDS!

That's a nice idea tooo...my daughter would send me notes...I rember getting one that she was running away...to her bedroom LOL

The cycle of keeping them happy and in return being rejuvenated by their smiles and giddiness when picking them up from school.
-my daughter running across the classroom, jumping from 3 feet out into my arms for our daily spinaround!

watching them make sense of the world based on what you taught and they saw . . .
-my son came to me one day because he heard a noise. "where?" I asked giving him my full undivided attention. He thought about it . . .
"at the bye-bye door"

none because I do not have kids

You got to be careful what kids watch on tv...I used to love the show COPS and would watch it while my daughter played with another child I babysat. I never even thought she watched any of that show...until one day I went upstairs to the play room and saw all perfectly laid out in a row.....6 dollies and stuffed animals laying on their fronts, hogtied with hairbands!!! I was SHOCKED!!! And soooooo very glad I hadn't walked in their with a neighbor or someone! I aksed my daughter what she was doing with the dolls...she started singnin' 'Bad Boys Bad Boys whatcha gonna doooo" LMAO...I had to stop watching Cops

OMG that's awesome...

My daughter is 6 now, and boy is she her mothers child...aye de mi'.

I think the best is when I had started dinner one night, and she wanted Ravioli instead and she kept asking, (I instill the questioning of authority) and I finally said "do not ask me one more time, we are having pork chops, you can have ravioli another night, not one more word about it." and my angel said "Please just one more word" Ya, that's my daughter...

I took my son to Hooters when he was about 8. After we ate I bought him a tee shirt. All the Hooter girls signed it. A few weeks later we were at Hooters again and I bought him another tee shirt. The waitress asked my son if he wanted the Hootergirls to sign his shirt. He said "No mamm, yall ruined my last shirt like that"

When they didn't seem to be paying any attention to the TV, then a commecrial comes on then they are glued. Remember the rolaids commercial, how do you spell relief, if you asked my four old the question she spelled rolaids. The other one at 4 came home from a christian school and asked if Father Turk ever took a bath? I asked, how did you come up with that question and she said, because he never changes his clothes.lol I always encouraged my girls to do the girly and boyish things, so we took ballet together and we played in the mud and caught bugs.So many things we did together since there weren't many children in the neighborhood in their generation. So, I relived my childhood with them and they had so much fun, they were my little buddies and they still have fun when they are with me, we have no age barriar, but they know who's the Mom.

A group of us went to dinner and my roommate took my g-baby next door to hooters and she came back and announced very loudy, Nana I saw boobies!

they are still small (twin boys)every minute they are with me is a joy
when I was growing up my grandmother had an apron she always wore. It had a pocket that was a treasure trove.She could find anything there including sweets for me when I asked, or when came back from school.

I passed the tradition down to mine by having sweets in my briefcase for my sons, when every day I came home from work they will gather to see what was there in the brief case.It is called memory building and you will see the results few years down the line.

I remember pillow fights

My daughter being normal.

droopy wet training pants and sticky hands and slobbery kisses....
