New Year's Resolutions I would like to gently suggest to my toddler for her consideration
1. I will sleep ALL NIGHT in my own bed. Maybe once a week, as a compromise? Once a month??
2. I will eat things other than peanut butter.
3. I will at least maybe TRY foods I have enjoyed very much in the past when they have actually passed my lips, instead of just comedy shaking my head like I'm trying to make it fall off when SCARY FOOD like anything not made of peanut butter is offered to me.
4. I will stop sticking my fingers up Mummy's nose while we're snuggling.
5. I will hold hands when walking on the pavement rather than throwing myself dramatically to the ground because the act of my hand being taken means ALL MY BONES DISSOLVE.
6. I will accept that having stroked the bunny very nicely several times does NOT mean that I have now earned the right to grab her fur and try and pin her in place for cuddles.
7. I will stop feeding the bunny things she is not allowed, like biscuits. Or building bricks.
8. I will wear a hat outside. For more than 30 seconds at a time. Occasionally.
9. I will turn off the magnetic attraction I have towards scissors, knives, fragile objects, open cans, cleaning products, basically everything that could kill me and is therefore obviously GREAT.
10. I will stop playing the game where I climb onto the sofa and then throw myself off (with a little run-up first) regardless of whether either of my mummies are actually prepared for IMMINENT FLYING BABY, even though obviously they should always be prepared for IMMINENT FLYING BABY.
