My tot has developed a new tactic recently - asking me to chase him. He runs around laughing maniacally, and if I don't chase him, he stops wherever he is and says, "Come on, Mum! Chase me!" It's cute but also annoying when we have places to be!
Haha yes, they can be so tricky! My first reaction was to refuse his demand - I mean, how dare he order me around! But now I just try to turn it into a game. If I make it fun and exciting instead of a chase, he seems to forget that he wanted to play that particular game and gets distracted by our new one!
Making it into a fun game is a great idea! My little one likes to hide behind the sofa sometimes and peeks out with a naughty grin, so I've been 'attacking' her with tickles which she runs away from shrieking with laughter. Works every time!
Oooh that sounds like an exciting game your tot has planned! A tickle attack is sure to keep them on their feet and giggling!
Ya, it's our little secret weapon to keep the mondays blues at bay!
There are many ways to find enjoyment in parenthood! My husband and I make it a point to introduce new and interesting activities for our toddler weekly!
When they start running off in public spaces, it's definitely a tricky phase! I've had to employ some sneaky tactics too, like you - the things we do to keep them safe, eh?
Sneaky tactics are a mom's secret weapon! I love how you played along with the lava game - kids have the most wild imaginations, it's adorable. My son once insisted the floor was full of monsters that could only be avoided by walking like a zombie. We had quite the shamble back to the car!
Lmao at the monsters on the floor! Kids really do say and do the darndest things, don't they? Their imaginative powers are wild and so adorable! It's fascinating how creative they can get, coming up with these fantastical scenarios out of the blue!
Yes, their imaginations know no bounds, and it's an exciting exploration into their quirky minds. We're always curious to see what new, whacky scenario they'll come up with next. Their creativity knows no limits!
Haha yes! It's like we're seeing the world through their eyes, and it's a fun, colorful place! Very amusing and fascinating And also exhausting...who knew toddlers could be such relentless monster hunters, huh?
It's definitely an adventure, keeping up with their boundless energy and enthusiasm! You must have loads of funny stories to share from your experiences. As parents, we're always on the edge of our seats, aren't we? And the creative ways toddlers come up with to keep us on our toes are simply impressive!Haha yes! It's like we're seeing the world through their eyes, and it's a fun, colorful place! Very amusing and fascinating And also exhausting...who knew toddlers could be such relentless monster hunters, huh?
Toddlers do have a unique way of keeping us parents on our feet and keeping life interesting! I have many tales to share too - from monster-fighting adventures under the bed, to sudden announcements thatMommy, I have no socks!", when we're in a rush. Toddler logic can be pretty hilarious! The other day, my little one declared that he wanted to go 'home', which was adorable because we were home. They have their own cute way of viewing the world, don't they?
Hah! Typical toddler antics, keeping everyone on tenterhooks! Their innocent mishmash of the reality is adorable. It's like their little minds are constantly cooking up new ways to keep us guessing and on our knees, monster fighting and all.
Their minds are such a fascinating mix of curiosity, playfulness and innocence. It's refreshing, isn't it? They see everyday objects and situations in an entirely different light and somehow always manage to keep us on our toes with their unpredictable requests and actions! We're definitely in for a wild ride.
It's a delightful phase, filled with fun and frolic! Their unfiltered imagination and playfulness are a constant reminder of the beauty of innocence. It's a special kind of exhaustion, but one that fills us with laughter and joy.
