Dear Aiden

I know that you are a boy and you are totally into adventure, however there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

If you can not see over it, you should not climb on it. The arm of the sofa is further off the ground than you realize. Honestly.

If you want to walk up a set of stairs (or even just a step for that matter) by yourself, you have to learn balance. Concrete is more stubborn than you are. Your head will not crack the concrete.

Mommy's glasses are for Mommy's viewing necessity. Please leave them on her face. You will be getting your own soon enough and you will realize the importance of vision and the joy of seeing things in front of your face.

Poop is meant for the toilet, not the walls, carpet or furniture. Please stop finger painting. I believe we have covered this topic before.

Trash cans are necessary; they are not for your entertainment. The contents do not belong scattered over the living room.

The same rule applies to Mommy's purse.

Pens are meant to write on paper. If you want to colour or draw, Mommy will get you crayons and paper. Your face is not a canvas.

When Mommy is on the computer, it is because she is doing something. Please do not take it upon yourself to shut the computer down by unplugging it. Mommy is aware of how to properly shut down the system without crashing it.

Worms are meant to live outside, they require dirt. Mommy's carpet does not. Please do not pick them up and bring them in the house.

When we are going bye-bye, please wait for someone to assist you to the car. It is not safe to go out there yourself. However Mommy is proud that you do realize you must be in your recliner car seat with the seat belt harness in place and that you are trying so hard to put the seat belt on by yourself.

Love Always,

Mommy
