Picking Battles

You have to learn to pick your battles with toddlers:

1. "Mom can I have chocolate milk?"

2. "Mom can we go outside in the rain?"

3. "Mom I will get the muffins out of the oven".... NO

4. "Mom I want cookie for dinner"

5. "Mom I no wear shoes to school"

Luckily if I get it wrong the first time I am usually have a chance to battle it out again the next day!
