Childrens most memorable moments

[HappyLawyer]

Now we have all seen kids do some things, but there are those few that stay with us.. I have 2

When i adopted my daughter and i brought her home, she was around 2 1/2. I took her to her room, her eyes lit up, she looked at me and said " wow, is this my room, is this my bed all for me"

The next was while we were driving in the car. for months she would never say i love you, i would tell her all the time, mommy loves you and i got nothing, okay fine, one day we are driving down the road out of the back of the car she calls " mommy", then i say "yes baby" then she says Mommy, i love you. OMG could life get any better, well yes, here is the kicker her planned conversation went like this

Mommy, i love you, I reply i love you too baby, i love you so much, she replies, can we go to Mcdonalds. Hey, i'll take the i love you anyway i could get it.

So in our life and these years together, these two are the most memorable i have of her.

There are so many, I have three boys, now 30, 27, and 23.
When my 30 year old was young he said "can we go to O'nonnies (his way of saying Mc'Donalds) I'm being haav". I had no idea what he was talking about and when I asked him he said "you told me to be haav and I am being haav" I still tell him to haav now.
My middle son was sitting on the ground outside looking into the hose when he was almost 1. I would step on it and it would spray him in the face a little. He would laugh and I would do it again. I have some great photos of that day when my 280 lb 6'3" son was little.
My youngest son's favorite food was gorilla cheese sandwiches. He thought that was what we called grilled cheese. We still eat gorilla cheese sandwiches and soup on those cold winter nights.

I am now a grandmother and when Nicholas calls me Oo-Ma I just melt. I have new memories to make. Peggie

Last month, my son tells my wife, "Mom, I love you more than a chicken!"

She was kind of scratching her head about this proclamation and asked him what he meant (he was 5 at the time).

"Well, I like brownies a lot. Brownies take eggs to make. Chickens lay eggs. I love you more than brownies, which wouldn't be possible without eggs. So, I love you more than a chicken."

Look do not post things like this again, you are going to get me fired, i read that and i started cracking up, chicken is a big deal to kids, when they are little each meat is chicken, chicken chicken.

Last year when my DS was in kindergarten, he came home one day and proudly showed me a paper, which had various letters written on it. I told him he did a wonderful job writing the letters, and he said, "Mama, did you read it?"

So I stopped and focused on the paper. I could make out the following: "HLVUVOOMVMV" but couldn't make heads or tails of it, so I started reading each individual letter out loud, and he would stop and correct me when I had one wrong. When we had read them all, I was able to read it 'properly': I LUV (Y)OO, MUMU

Awwwww, a love note from my baby! I just about cried, it was so sweet. And yes, I did save it.

My DS (10) is disabled. He has a rare neurologic condition. When he was entering elementary from a special education preschool, he had IQ testing. Our district requires it. The diagnostician who evaluated him said he may never read or write. She said that if he ever did write that he would require a computer in order to be able to type out what he needed to say. And, reading would be very difficult for him, if he were to learn to read at all.

In 2nd grade, he had a wonderful sped teacher who worked very hard with him...as did I. He brought home one of those generic rhyming books..."The fat cat sat on the mat...." He sat in my lap, facing away from me, and read me this book. I sat behind him and cried.

His whole life people have said..."He probably will never...."

If I listened to them, where would he be today?

I'm so glad you didn't. What a beautiful story.

Not quite a children's moment but close enough: I was exhausted after my labor and c-section and when I woke up the next mornng my beautiful first born was sleeping peacefully in his bassinette at the foot of my bed. It had taken us 9 years to get pregnant and I was thrilled with my baby boy but I could not move my "stitched" body far enough out of bed to reach over, pick him up and hold him in my arms for the first time.

Then my roommate's doctor, a burly, brusque man dashed into the room, rushed over to speak with her for a moment and hurried to exit the room. I got up my nerve and caught his eye as he passed my bed by the door and asked him to get my son out of the bassinette and hand him to me if he could. For a second, I thought he was going to refuse but instead, he stopped and his face turned into this soft smile and he picked up my 8 lb. 14 oz. son with the most gentle hands and carefully placed him in my arms, making sure we both were comfortable. I don't think he noticed that I was crying....

This took place when my oldest daughter was around 5 years old. She is now 22, and for some reason, it has always stuck with me.

I was teaching first grade at the time, and at the end of the school day my daughter would join me in my classroom and hang out until it was time to leave. We had just gotten in my car when my daughter looked at me with a serious expression on her face and asked, "Will I go to college some day?", or something to that effect.

I told her that I hoped she would and that we were certainly planning on her doing so. She continued to look intently at me and she seemed so interested in hearing about college that I continued to blabber on and on about the importance of school, education, college, etc., etc. I couldn't believe how long I was holding her attention with this college talk. I was so proud of my little girl, and I was so impressed with myself!

My daughter continued to stare at me, and just as I was pausing to search for new and wonderful educational topics to discuss, she asked, "Do you know you have something shiny in your hair?"

I reached up and pulled out a piece of shiny, silver paper that had somehow gotten stuck up there. That's when I realized that my darling daughter had been held captive by the shiny paper in my hair, and not by my speech about college. She probably hadn't listened to a word I said beyond my first sentence.

To this day, when she seems to be intently listening to me, (which is rare), I always ask her if there is something shiny in my hair.

The cute food names reminds me that when DB16 was 3, his favorite food in the world was "piano cheese" (pimiento cheese) sandwiches, and that when he finished with the "piano cheese" he would put it in the "refrigerlater".

I got choked up reading this!

As a teacher, I've taught hundreds of kids how to read, but they pale in comparison to the first time I heard my own boys read.

That's so cute. My DD7 does that out of the blue "Mommy, I love you". My answer always includes "I love you too sweetie pie but mommy isn't buying XYZ" .

dd was coming out of the anethisia from surgery-whe was hooked up to a morphene drip, nurse asks her 'honey, does it hurt? do you want something for the pain?'-dd groggily replies 'yeah-my mom and dad'

ds snuggled up in bed with me 'spoon style'-says 'mom even when i grow up and get married i'll still want to snuggle with you'- i say 'do you think that will be o.k. with your wife?' he replies 'sure, once she climbs in with us and tries it, she'll be 'hooked on it' too'

This was a classic.

You guys have some really sweet stories. The first one that came to mind for me was with my dd. We had been out Christmas shopping all day. I don't remember how old she was, maybe 7 or 8. When we walked into the mall the Salvation army lady was there ringing her bell, just like all the other stores we had been in that day. She said mommy if you give her some money will she shut up? I guess she had heard those bells enough that day. Every time I hear those bells I think of that day.
