Stop freaking out about the mess! There's always time to clean--but how often do we get to make mud pies?
Love me, even when I'm naughty. I'll only be this age once.
Be patient. I do everything for a reason, but I don't know enough words yet to give you an explanation.
Let me do it. I know you can do it faster and better, but experience is how you got so fast.
Don't expect too much of me. I want to do what you ask and make you happy, but I'm still little.
Don't try to reason with me when I'm having a tantrum. Trust me--I can't hear you over my own screaming.
Keep your promises. It's all about trust. When I'm a teenager, you'll understand why it's so important.
Don't keep asking me if I've been good. I'm not even sure what that means, but if I was bad I'd never admit it!
Don't let me think that you're perfect. I feel a lot better knowing I'm not the only one who makes mistakes sometimes.
Set limits. I can't actually eat a whole box of cookies--I just want to see if I'd get away with it.
