The Toddler's Creed
If I want it,
IT'S MINE!
If I give it to you and change my mind later,
IT'S MINE!
If I can take it away from you,
IT'S MINE!
If it's mine it will never belong to anybody else,
No matter what.
If we are building something together,
All the pieces are mine!
If it looks just like mine,
IT'S MINE!
If it breaks or needs putting away,
IT'S YOURS!
by Dr. Burton L. White
Do these rules sound familiar to any of you?
This seems to be the new mantra that we are desparately trying to break!!
Sarah's expression in this picture speaks volumes! We had just confiscated her squirt gun....obviously she was not happy about it.....Life With A Toddler....it's not always easy!

Great shot of her pouty face. The Toddler Creed is SO SO TRUE!!! Aren't they fun?
And yet... you love every minute of it I am sure...
We are definitely in the same boat! Some days can be quite challenging!
I love this picture of Sarah. Her expression is so funny!
At this moment in time, Sarah's expression looks very much like my niece M&M. They are very close in age and - it seems - in stages of development. :)
Ah yes...the toddler's creed. They used to give this out every fall aat Lia's school....so hoping I don't get a copy now that she is in the pre-school room!!!
(because that would mean she is out of that stage, right???)
Classic photo of Sarah....she will have fun looking back and laughing at it one day...you all will....probably just not TODAY!!!
Keep the faith, sista....keep the faith...

Oh Lisa...I can honestly say, we never hit that stage, but the stage she is in now...is pushing my to the edge...ugh
Not just for toddler's anymore, LOL!!!!
Oh, I can relate!!!
Sarah is the cutest!!
Funny . . . but so true! Love the photo! Have a fun weekend!

Hee, hee! I feel your pain! :)
LOL A picture od a thousand words!
Too funny!
So true! Ha!!!! I love the expression on Sarah's face, too cute!
So true by friend, so true.
Happy Sunday!!

You got that right Lisa!!!! So true. As you know- hang in there. (Although I have heard that the teenage and tween stages are strikingly similar).
My 16 month old is just now saying that things are "Mad deee's". Anytime her sister touches anything the baby wants it and wants it NOW!
UGG- at least we can commiserate.
easy????
i agree, no way is it easy,i so so needed a wee break from X X today.
Hubby took her off for an outing and i read home deco mags, that my Best Friend Juls had passed my way :)

OH yes....I remember those days well!!! Hee-hee! Now...try life with a "tween-ager"! ~sigh!
Oh my goodness, this is a RIOT and by gosh it's so TRUE, isn't it?!? Sadly, Caroline has seemingly started this phase early. Oh boy, I need to buckle in now for the long road ahead!!! ;) What a cute pic of Sarah. Her expression is so stinkin' cute! Hugs~ Les
So, so true! I love the picture of Sarah!
