Dearest silly J,
I am so happy that you are developing quite the personality. But let's get a few things straight, shall we?
1. I am the mommy. This means YOU cannot send L to time-out. Sorry. That's just how parenting works.
2. If you can tell anyone "NO TOUCH ME!", don't be surprised when L says this to you. And listen to him (that little one can be violent).
3. Sometimes L doesn't want your help. He likes to do things on his own, like you. So don't force assistance.
4. I call Dada "Babes". You should just stick with "Dada". Trust me.
5. Don't repeat everything I say. We'll leave it at that...
6. If you insist on "close it, flush it" after Mommy uses the potty, Mommy insists on YOU using the potty. No more "wipes, diapers". Thanks.
7. Roosters do not say "cock-do doo-doo". Might want to work on a better pronunciation of "cock-a-doodle-do"...
8. Once your snacks are gone, they're GONE. Do not chase L around while chomping your teeth. I wont feel too bad when he turns around and bites you.
9. You are a little boy. So when you walk around on your tip toes wearing a princess tiara and a sparkly necklace, people WILL look at you funny.
10. Mommy and Dada only have to share when they want to. You ALWAYS have to share. I know; double standards.
If you follow these few pieces of advice, we will all get along THAT much better. On the flip side, you are a wonderful kid. Smart, creative, and obedient. Stay that way because I love you to pieces.
Love,
Mommy
