A Toddler’s New Year’s Resolutions

Happy New Year, Happy Home Friends!

I’ll be taking a vacation from blogging for a few days so that I can prepare for a speaking engagement this Friday (and get stocked up with lots of Happy Home ideas for you for the month of January!).  In the meantime, I thought I’d share this funny article I found on the Internet last year…

I hope it makes you smile. 🙂

A Toddler’s Resolutions

1. Gain more weight.  My size 5 Pull-Ups are a little saggy and I need a little bit more of a belly to keep them up.
2. Ask for a glass of water at bedtime at least 3 times – to get the water, delay bedtime, and maybe, just maybe, get an exasperated look from Mom.
3. Come up with new ways to refuse my parents’ bidding.  “No” is classic.  “I can’t” is a little more forceful, but I feel it’s time to be creative.
4. Insist on wearing completely mismatched outfits as often as possible.
5. Figure out which kid’s show or music is really annoying to watch/listen to and then beg for it.
6. Refuse food – even if it has been a favorite – once a week.
7. Or, even better, I resolve to ask for a food that I know is not in the house.
8. Have a meltdown for no apparent reason at least once a day.  It’s good to keep in touch with my emotions.
9. Be naked more often – especially when company is coming over or when Mom and Dad are trying to get ready to go out.
10. Give Mom and Dad a hug without being asked for one. 🙂

Did this speak to anyone else as it did to me???  I am literally giggling out loud as I type this up because the Happy Buddy is SO this kid.  Especially the part about refusing foods that were once a favorite.

I’d love to hear your “Toddler’s Resolutions” if you have them!  Just leave a comment below with your funniest thought!

Happy Toddler Resolution-ing! 🙂
