My toddler is proud because...

[bcandlm]

Going along with the "reasons my toddler is crying," it seems like toddlers are often proud of themselves for the most random, silly things. Why is your toddler proud of him/herself?

[bcandlm]

...because he straddled his little wooden piano like it is a horse
...because he sent one of his Little People down the fireman's chute in his LP Fire station
...because he finished his puzzle (and clapped for himself because he was so proud)
...because he managed to steal something that belongs to mommy or daddy

Because his sister smiled at him.
Because he was able to shove most a nutrigrain bar in his mouth at one time.
Because he ripped the entire label off a crayon.
Because he got his magnetic letters to stick to the garbage can

[doodletwins]

Because she sat on top of their lawnmower and tried to ride it.
Because he moved his cozy coupe next to the couch, stood on it's door and tried to climb over the couch from behind.
Because they threw their diapers away.
Because they ate part of their dinner.
(We cheer a lot for positive reinforcement at our house apparently.)

I don't know if this is a boy thing or just a toddler thing, but my LO always seems proud when he stuffs his face too!

bcandlm I swear he is in some sort of competition to see how much food he can get in his mouth at one time.

I used to have to dole out cheese cubes one at a time because he would chipmunk like five little cubes. Now, it's how many animal crackers can I fit in my mouth at one time? ;-)

Because he fist bumped his dad and I at the same time

Because he farted, loudly

Because he went down the slide by himself

Because he popped the pea or corn kernel between his fingers and sent it flying

[sctiger]

She helped me put clothes in the dryer.
She handed me something and I said thank you.

She loves to clap for herself

[vitafelix]

He unbuckled his chest clip in the car.
He thinks he's jumping. He isn't.
He showed his sister how to use her pacifier.
He wiggled his eyebrows.
He cut his banana with his spoon.

Because he has a penis.
Because he can say penis.

[mommycoffee]

Because she finally got her shoes on all by herself. She literally cried because she was so proud of herself!

I literally laughed out loud at this one! ;-)

[madlizmom]

She did a somersault
She drank milk
She climbed onto the couch
She stacked her blocks

The girls claps at everything though, so I'm not sure if these are being proud or just her ransom clapping!

[catalinapink]

He grabbed his butt cheek before getting in the bath.

[cl8badb]

Because he stacked his blocks.

Because after the potty he has no pants or diaper on and likes when we say hes nude!

Because he finally made it onto the couch.

Because one of us made a basket. (Basketball)

Because he scored a goal in his little floor hockey game.
(Sometimes he just puts it in with his hand and yells GOAL then claps and runs with his arms in the air. Hahahaha)

Because he wipes his own penis after hes on the potty and flushes.
