Top 10

The medication has left the building!! Thank god! I think Sloane consumed 7 peanut butter cups, 4 Hersey kisses and one cotton candy lollipop in the past 10 days. We decided to take the bribery approach after the med administration began to look like it needed a straight jacket!!!

Dr. Reibman called yesterday to discuss the the pneumonia event. Her hopes are that Sloane's pneumonia was not cleft related. She, too, was thrilled that Sloane will be resuming thin liquids within the next week or so.  As per usual with Dr. Reibman, she gave me a talking about general toddler health. I'll assume that she thinks I get caught up in laryngeal cleft issues and forget that Sloane is a normal toddler.

So here is the top 10 list of toddler issues we are dealing with in our home:

1. When a time out or visit to the thinking chair is necessary
2. When to leave the house with big girl undies on
3. Which battle to pick in regards to nutrition
4. When to move your toddler into a toddler bed
5. How much and which TV is acceptable
6. Which behaviors are "she's two" and which behaviors are "she's a brat"
7. How much sleep is enough sleep
8. Should there be fashion battles at 2 1/2 years old
9. Which kind of independence does my toddler need
10. To leave your toddler or not to leave your toddler for an extended time

Number 10 is a hot topic in our home this week as I am getting ready to leave Sloane for 48 full hours!! OMG! The longest I have ever left her in almost 2 1/2 years!
