Volume One.
Don't let her get a snack out of the diaper bag and say "wooooaahhh!!!" as she watches dinosaurs roaring, running and eating human beings off of toilets.
Don't let her practice new clawing skills on daddy's face when he volunteers to feed her.
Volume Two.
Don't let your toddler take a late nap. Don't forget to change her diaper before the nap. Don't let her sleep so late that she wakes up within minutes of when you need to leave the house for a birthday party. Don't even think about cursing under your breath as you realize you need to change her entire outfit because you forgot to do the diaper thing before the nap thing. Don't rush her through dinner because you spent so much time getting her dressed and then promise that she can "fill up on cupcakes at the birthday party to make up for this."
Don't let her attack her cupcake with the direct force equal to a jackhammer. Don't encourage the bad behavior so she goes on to steal her cousin's cupcake. And definitely don't laugh when she does something naughty (like pilfering cupcakes).
Got it?
OK but really, don't judge the awkward mom laugh and bad filming in this video.

uh, i'm new at this parenting thing but i'm pretty sure that doesn't qualify as really bad parenting. at least i hope not, or else i'm in big trouble. although, you did raise a thief, so maybe i'm wrong.
Got it. Well, I don't have kids, but its a good heads up! :) she's just so cute, Becca. You guys made one helluva baby! ps - I dreamed about you and Jesse last night. We went to dinner. WIth a bunch of random people. It was a funny dream. Promise. Anyway - just thinking of you today!
I think that is top notch parenting. You raised a girl that knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go for it.
