1. NEVER give options for mealtime.
i.e. MOM: would you like mac 'n cheese?
TODDLER: NOOOOOOO!!!!! AGGGGHHHH!!!!! WAAAAAA!!! (toddler falls on the floor writhing)
2. NEVER cut, touch or handle toddlers food in front of them (this must be done secretly before setting the plate in front of them)
i.e. MOM: here, let me cut your sandwich
TODDLER: NOOOOOOO!!!!! AGGGGHHHH!!!!! WAAAAAA!!! (toddler acts as if he's just been impaled)
3. NEVER inform toddler of "nap time"
i.e. MOM: okay buddy, we're going to have "quiet time" in 5 minutes
TODDLER: NOOOOOOO!!!!! AGGGGHHHH!!!!! WAAAAAA!!! (toddler screams with huge tears streaming down face - confirmation that nap time should've begun 10 minutes earlier)

I love these kinds of photos. Love 'em!
Oh man, feels so good to know I'm not the only one. I'd like to add one-- don't ever, ever DO something for said toddler that he would rather do for himself. WAHAAAAA ZACHY DO IT!!!! AHHHHH WAAAAAAA!
(and, are you telling me this doesn't end with the 2's?)
I wonder where he got the drama from.???
