So I have been thinking about my resolutions for the year. For the toddler side of my life I’ve come up with the following. Be sure to add yours in the comments!

1.

I resolve to not go to the store with food smashed into my shirt (even if it happens to be on my back where I can’t see it) or my pants or my skirt, ok, or even in my hair.

2.

I resolve to eat one meal a week where I am not coughed on, spit on, drooled on, or sneezed on while eating.

3.

I resolve to read a book that does not begin with “Once upon a time” or where every other word rhymes or can’t be found in the dictionary.

4.

I resolved to poop alone at least once a week.

5.

I further resolve that no children may be on my lap while I am pooping if I cannot have the luxury of pooping alone.

6.

I resolve to have a phone conversation that does not involve me having to move the phone to the side so I don’t hurt my friend’s ear while yelling, “Oh no you don’t! Get out of that! I mean it! NO!”

7.

I resolve to not hide in my bedroom while snacking on hidden chocolate when the noise of my house just gets too loud.

On second thought, these resolutions seem like I might be setting myself up for failure. I may need to reevaluate these! Do you have any great resolutions?
