This toddler rules

If you have a toddler than you must know the rules that need to be followed. Not your rules, their rules. Everything belongs to them. Everyone must do their bidding. And in case you forgot, everything belongs to them.

Nathan newest thing right now is to say "mine" about everything. And you better give it to him too, or he will keep saying mine, mine, mine, MINE until you do hand it over. And if you don't hand it over, and Nathan does get it back. You can be guaranteed you're getting smacked in the head with said object.

Just to refresh everyone's memories, I will share with you The Toddler Rules. Oh and I must share that Nathan does use his own toothbrush to brush his teeth with, but everyone else's toothbrush is fair game to play with. And usually it goes into the toilet. It's always better to throw someone else's toothbrush in the toilet, right? At least Nathan thinks so. And I have a lovely drawing in pen on my kitchen table if anyone is interested, LOL!
