This post is long over-due as ever since I arrived here last month I have been in stitches whenever I hang round with my wee cousin (‘once removed’ whatever the hell that means!) Findlay!   It helps that he’s honestly the cutest thing since things started being cute but some of the stuff that comes out of his wee mouth are just classic! Here’s a few examples…

1. Bamburgh Castle… Findlay gets a plastic sword at the gift shop that is damn near bigger than him and goes running down the path waving his sword yelling “Kill, Kill, Kill!!”. Coming from a wee fella it sounded hilarious plus the fact that his short wee legs can’t carry him that fast with the running hehe.

2. Bamburgh Castle – Homebound… Cousin Neil decides to make me almost wee my pants and ruin my mascara by getting Findlay to say “Truck me, Truck off and Truck you”… HILARIOUS when you realize that his TR’s come out as F’s hehehe. And the combination of his cute wee voice saying this with the look on his innocent face was ultimately something that had us giggling for ages!

3. His house... Grandma and I were babysitting all three of the younguns at their place one night and once we get inside from wherever the hell we had been he proudly announces he’s wee’d his pants… not unusual for a 2 year old I guess so Grandma pulls his pants down and sits him on her lap to put some new pants on – only to find he’s actually poo’d his pants and her jeans get covered! He thought it was hilarious! (Grandma did not…)

4. His house again… Grandma is getting the wee ratbag ready for bed so pulls his pants down to put his PJ’s on and he wastes no time in piddling on the floor! Then proudly announces “Look at me Grandma… I peeing!” hehehe. So Grandma rushes off to get a towel and he then decides to step in it! so I grab him up before he does but he’s given the puppy the idea and she tries to do the same thing! So Grandma comes back with the towel to find me standing there holding a wriggling Findlay and wriggling puppy!

5. Ellen’s dance show… Don’t ask me how but somehow Grandma, Auntie Lynn and Auntie Amanda get roped into taking the two boys, Matthew and Findlay, to their big sis’s afternoon dance show. All is going well in the packed theater until about half an hour before the end when Findlay waits for the quietest possible moment and announces “I WANT TO GO NOW” in his LOUDEST voice…. not once…. not twice…. but about 5 times! until Auntie Lynn tries to stop him by putting her hand over his mouth. Alas this does not stop the rant so Auntie Lynn and Amanda are forced to hoist the wee loudspeaker up and make haste out to the foyer before exploding into giggles. Findlay’s dead proud of course!

6. Nickname... Findlay affectionately refers to me as Poohead on most occasions – well actually it’s not just limited to me haha anybody can be called it!
