my friend posted a vid of her little one (who is 5) and he's an old soul. and he's talkin passionately about paddleboarding and he says, excitedly "every single day....every single day that you will let me paddle board, well I'M GOIN FOR IT!" as his face changes to that of determined intensity and he pumps his fist.
it was the most adorable thing ever.

Just to add to the list of frightening crap kids say, over the weekend my 4 year old told me out of nowhere that "someday the sun is gonna burn up the earth."

Ivy has said her fourth word! Weirdly, it is "treasure." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean it is not a total mystery. She was watching The Backyardigans with Jeff and digging a song about treasure and she said treasure. Then she repeated it tonight to me at Jeff's prompting. But still. Not book, bath, cup, shoe, bus, dance, "Slow down, asshole!" or any of the words she hears a million times a day. No. She said "treasure."

That's great. I miss our Backyardigans days. I'm hoping for a revival someday before she's too old to enjoy it.
― how's life, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 14:43 (nine years ago) link
I love that show. Jeff and I would sometimes watch it during a brief time in about 2005 when we had cable, and we even bought a CD (lol) of the music. I realized last night that my desire to have a kid pretty much coincided with those initial Backyardigans viewings. So thanks Pablo, Tyrone, Uniqua, Tasha, and Austin!

I now live in a flat above a bridal shop.
Ava: "These dresses are disgusting."Lulu: "Yeah, I'm getting married dressed as a ninja! Well, when I have my friendship ceremony with Daisy, we'll both be dressed as ninjas."Ava: "I'd want to wear a suit."Lulu: "A BLACK SUIT!"Ava: "Not everything has to be black, Lulu."

Backyardigans one of the few shows I tried to force them to watch and they just never went for it.
Maybe because Nick Jr showed that pirate episode 248 times in a row.

It's streaming on Amazon Prime now so we can be free of Nick Jr.'s rerun tyranny.

This morning, K: "We went in the snow, and we made snowballs, and the big house fell down, and the dog was sad"
It took me a few minutes to realize she was actually reciting the plot of "The Dog Who Stopped the War," which had been playing on the TV over the bar in the restaurant we ate in on Sunday. FWIW, *spoiler alert* the "sad" dog was actually dead.

So much joy in this thread.
On Sunday morning, trying to coach Ava through some probability questions for homework.
Me: Ok, so you have a bowl of ten M&Ms. Four are red, four are blue, two are brown. What are the chances you'll get a brown one?Ava: Two in ten!Me: Yes! And now you take an M&M and it's brown. What are the chances of getting another brown one? Ava: Er, still the same.Me: No, you have fewer brown M&Ms, and fewer M&Ms in total.Ava: I still have the brown one in my hand.Me: Well, just eat it.(Ava theatrically mimes scoffing a single M&M)Lulu: We have M&Ms?Me: No, it's just an example.Ava: I don't want any more brown ones.Me: Yes, but for the purposes of this...Lulu: We have Jaffa Cakes. Do it for real with Jaffa Cakes.Me: They're not different colours.Ava: They are when you eat all the chocolate off.(Lulu heads to cupboard)NO, NO, NO.
It's only at a distance that it sounds like a neat little sitcom scene rather than the HOURS OF TORTURE that it seemed at the time.
