What I Learned (so far) from My Toddler

-->Anything will be done without complaint if chocolate is promised at the end.

-->Having a short attention span is wonderful when it goes from a skinned knee and tears to watching Dora.

-->No matter how small the task, independence and confidence grows after doing anything alone and quickly followed by "I did it!"

--> The beach is indeed a sandbox first and not a place to play in the ocean.

-->Water is most fun when on the outside of the body and not inside.

-->Making a suggestion of something fun to do or eat better happen Right Now or you're just lying; there is no future time.

-->The funniest things to toddlers are usually giving them the unexpected - singing the wrong lyrics to a tune they know, walking funny or just being silly in general.

-->Saying my name once is not as effective as "Mama, Mama, Mama, MAMA!" to get my attention.
