Oh, the Wonderful Things
A Toddler Can Do!
My daughter, just past her
18-month birthday, is already
actively demonstrating her inde
pendent streak!
She has a Dr. Seuss book that
she loves, Mr. Brown Can Moo,
r.an You. It starts, “Oh, the
wonderful sounds Mr. Brown
can do. He can sound like a cow.

He can go Moo, Moo.” These
days I find myself saying under
my breath with some sarcasm,
“Oh, the wonderful things a tod
dler can do, she can ...”
This wfeek, the list sounds
like this: She can put her foot on
the table and giggle. She can ask
to sit on the potty and as soon as
I get her there, she can scream
“no” and say “diaper.” She can

her water, shove it away and ask

SIT!” Of course, that usually
means she wants to sit on the
chair that someone else is
already on or she wants a chair
of her own, not sitting on an
adult’s lap.
Oh the wonderful things a
toddler can do! I am working
hard to tell myself that these
acts of independence and
demonstrations of power are not
deliberate attacks on me. Of
course, convincing myself of this
at the end of a hard day is diffi
cult. I am also reminding myself
that children need limits and
after the second or third time of
trying to meet a wish, it’s okay
to simply say no and allow her to
pout, throw a temper tantrum or
whatever.
Tip the Scales With
Heavyweight Mixers
That Are
Soft on Feed
Pound for pound, you wont find a more powerful or gentle
mixer than the Sarias IV by Roto-Mix*. its extra heft easily
blends batch after batch of feed while Its patented rotor design
and tumbling action mix aH ingredients without damage.
Plus, a special hay pan keeps chunks of hay out of the chamber
until they're cut by the auger knives. Transmission, PTO and
drive line loads are reduced so the Series IV needs less
horsepower and maintenance.

What have I found out about
dealing with tantrums? When at
all possible, simply ignore them.
Walk away (to give yourself a
break) as long as your child is
safe. Remove the child from a
public setting (like a grocery
store, playground, etc.) if neces
sary. You may also want to
remove the child from the situa
tion if she wants to strike out
(by throwing something or hit
ting, etc.). Sometimes holding a
child closely and talking softly
will help the child get back
under control. Try to avoid “giv
ing in to” the tantrum or whin
ing in order to regain some
peace and quiet.
All this “wanting things the
way they aren’t currently”
reminds me of a family story
that my mother tells of a young
ster not wanting to take a bath.
At first the water was too hot.
After cool water was added, then

it was too cold. Finally, in exas
peration, the child proclaimed
that the water was too wet.
That’s the life of a toddler.
They want to choose, and when
they can’t control everything
around them, the best thing
they know how to do is to refuse
what the parent suggests.
Fortunately, I have found
within a few minutes she comes
over looking for a kiss. And it’s
at these times that I’m reminded
of all the other wonderful things
a toddler can do—like stare
wide-eyed in amazement at a
sky full of clouds at sunset, or
dance with abandon to music, or
give hugs freely to anyone, or
walk between your legs a hun
dred times saying, “Mommy,
tunnel” and giggle.
With toddlers, as with all
children, it’s a matter of taking
time to appreciate them as they
are.
