For our final week of the month long Mother's Day celebration, we are giving away the most traditional of all Mother's Day gifts, perfume. But not the cheapo stuff you get at the drugstore, no way, this is Tot Snob. We are giving you the exclusive limited edition Armani Prive Bois D’encens Eau de Parfum worth $185 (you can't get this anywhere!) AND the Chanel #5 worth $80, for a total value of $265. How is that for love ? =)
We have been sharing our stories and experiences and it is only appropriate to end on a high note to celebrate the joys of motherhood. Enter this contest by sharing with us the sweetest / funniest thing your tot has said. Put it in the comments and make sure to include your email address. Like the other day, I buckled and gave my daughter a glazed donut. She devoured it in seconds and I asked her how she liked it and she said, "Donut is crack!". OK, so it is a little disturbing (she is only 3!), but hilarious and priceless. Now I just have to track down where she learned to use that word in that context!! Please, only one entry per person. Contest ends Friday May 9th at 11:59pm EST. Good luck and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

One day my son came up to me and started kissing me on the lips. I said "Thank you for the kisses!" and he said "Mmm..I love the taste of chocolate on your lips!" I had just had some chocolate cake!!!

My 3-yr-old comes up with so many gems, can't pick just one. A few recently...
Sweetest: "Mommy, you are the best mom I never had." (Hope he means "ever had!")
Some funny ones as he is learning about expressing his emotions right now: "You are pissing me!" (instead of pissing me off), and "Mom, you're making me serious."
Funniest: "Look, Mom! I'm doing the pee-pee dance!" Just out of the bath and completely naked, this involves jumping up and down and shaking his hips and "pee-pee" as wildly as he can. He was so proud he insisted that I get video of this - should be good for threatening to show his girlfriends when he is older!

I asked my 5yr old if she would help me clean up in the living room. She rolled her eyes and said only if we put music on. So, I chose my type and she sat on the couch with her arms crossed. I asked her what was wrong and she said "That music is not motivational."
Popped my eyes out on that one!

We had a thunderstorm one night and the force of the wind/rain blew some bark onto our walkway. My daughter got quite agitated and said, "The landscaping has migrated!" I had to ask twice to be sure of what I heard. She kept saying it, so I guess she knew what she meant. Not sure how she knew those terms because she is only 3.

My son (he's 3) tells us to "Drive Safely!" (or sometimes "Don't Crash into anything!") every time we tell him goodbye at daycare or grandma's house.

When my son was 4 we were riding home at night. The moon was very huge-my son points at it and said" look how big the moon is!" I told him that the moon was full. A few minutes later he looked at me and asked "but mommy, what did it eat?"

Our 3 year old was so excited about having a new brother and sister coming into the family. We thought we had done a good job explaining what twins meant and could not wait until the day came. A month later both his brother and sister were born and two days later my husband brought us home. My 3 year ran to me and his new siblings and just kept looking from one to another and back again. "What's wrong sweetie?, I asked as tears filled his eyes". Mommy, he said, they are both so cute but which one do we have to give back?

When our daughter was about two years old, we were trying to teach her manners. We had already been through the usual, covering your mouth when you sneeze or cough, no elbows on the table, don't talk with your mouth full. One day our baby let out a large burp. We asked her "What do you say?", expecting to hear excuse me. She replied, "Excuse me! I am a piggy and a cow!"

My son and I were driving home one day and he was playing 20 questions as usual, he asked me what the flashers were, I explained to him that you pushed it to let others know when you are in trouble, he thought for a minute and said Mommy I need one of those, I'm in trouble all the time.

last week, my 2 year old pressed the speed dial on the phone and dialed my boss. She then proceeded to have a converstion with my boss that consisted of " mommy's in the potty doing pee-pee". Thank goodness my boss is a good a sport and was laughing.

When my toddler started to learn to walk, he'd walk with his hands on the floor. It was a step up from a crawl.

My son is five and he comes up with the craziest things. He recently came to me and asked: "Mom, when you swallow an apple seed, do you poop out apples or seeds? And I couldn't resist when I answered "Why apples of course!"

My young son asked me where dogs came from. So I told him they came from God. I told him if you spell dog backwards it spells God. He then said that something must be wrong, because if he spells dad or mom backwards, he still gets the same boring word. Gotta love it. Happy Mother's Day to all.

I remember at the drugstore I picked up a box of Tylenol Cold and my little one asked me what it was. I told her it was cold medicine. She picked up the box next to it and asked me if that was hot medicine. It was so cute and innocent. I've never forgotten about it.

When my son was 3, we went to visit my mom. She had a pet bird, and the kids loved it. My three-year-old invited his grandma over to see our birds. I said "Tim, we don't have any birds". He said "yes we do. They live outside".

I am a single mom and have 2 beautiful daughters money is always tight so sometimes I cannot give them everything I would like to and always felt guilty. One day my 3 yr old wanted a pair of sparkly shoes and I just did not have the extra and she could tell I felt bad. She said mommy thats ok you makes me sparkly inside which is better then having sparkly feet. She then opened her mouth as wide as she could and told me to look inside at her sparkles.

My youngest daughter was so afraid of the sight of Chuck E Cheese at said establishment that she ran to hide under the table, pushing her sister's chair back and her sister fell on the floor and the slice of pizza she was eating flew out of her hand.

My daughter was a great little one, never got into much trouble. So when she was quiet one day for a fairly long time, I wondered what in the world she was up to. I yelled down hallway - "Sadie... babe what are you doing back there?". Silence. Then a little 3 year old voice "I'm not coloring on the wall".
Right.

3 yr old Ben to Mommy:
"Why is that doggy black & white?"
I reply.."That's how God made him."
Ben ponders..and then asks.."Does God MAKE people?"
I answer.."Yes, God makes people."
Then he inquires, "Who saves people?"
Automatically I respond. "God does."
Ben quickly throws one at me. "NO MOM! Superman saves people!"
