Children say the funniest things.
They are so honest and literal, it’s wonderful. Mr Moo is what one might describe as a ‘chatty’ little man, he always has something to say and he has been keeping us entertained with his discourse ever since he first found his voice. Some of the things he says are hilarious, some are poignant, some are just bizarre and I have been looking for a way to record these special utterances. For example, one of my favourite quotes followed a viewing of the film Kung Fu Panda when Mr Moo turned around to Mr McSpendy, took a long look at him and sighed “You will never be the Dragon Warrior Daddy”. Having his limitations so accurately assessed by a two and a half year old will perhaps not be one of Mr McSpendy’s most treasured memories but the rest of us loved this moment.
I recently came across a book called My Quotable Kid which is just what I have been looking for. This book is a journal in which you can record all of the wonderful things that your baba says.
The journal is made up of specially formatted pages with spaces to insert each quote together with the details of when and where it was uttered and your baba’s age when they said it.
There is also a special page at the front into which you can insert a photo of your baba. The journal has lots of pages and plenty of space so you can create a really special record for your child as they grow up. It will be one of those keepsakes which you can pull out at all your baba’s major milestones (21st birthday, wedding etc) for embarrassment purposes!
This book isn’t that easy to find but you can get it from Amazon for approximately £9.
