What do you wish your toddler would unlearn?

[Deleted]

Any new words or accomplishments that you wish would go away?

[Deleted]

The word MINE. Omg.. everything belongs to him you know. And taking away something he wants....loud yells of "mine, mine, mine"

[peachesncream]

She recently learned how to say applesauce and whenever we open the pantry (where we keep the applesauce pouches) she comes running and screaming "APPLESAUCE APPLESAUCE APPLESAUCE!!" So now she's eating about 5 pouches a day haha. Whoops.

Spitting.

Yes to the non stop "MINE"

And I have no idea where she got it, but she says "shoo" and waves her hand at the cat to make him get away from me. Neither of us do anything like that, so weird.

She stands there looking at us, points her finger at us, moves her arm down (with finger still pointing at us) and says "NO!"

She likes to be in charge

This. Yesterday we were grocery shopping and anytime someone would pick something off the shelf she'd yell "my yogurt!!!!!!!", "my apples!!!!!" Stop it, kid.

The chair moving to get what he wants. He learned from his older brother than he can pick up and carry the kid chairs we have and he uses it to get into everything.

[bobloblaw]

Pouches all day, every day allll of a sudden. His whole class is pouch-obsessed.

Spitting in the car seat

[khopec]

He always wants to do ring around the rosies (sp?) , he spins around and says "ashes, ashes" then he jumps up and throws his legs out and just drops to floor. I am waiting for him to give himself a concussion. I can only assume he learned this at DC.

[aaemommy]

Throwing huge fits getting out of the car at home because apparently the seats in the car are the most fun jungle gym ever. Don't even know how he figured that one out.

Climbing into the bar stools onto the counter and across to the kitchen where he helps himself to the fridge.

[swim]

Pointing to my pump, saying "milk. Ewww"..

I blame MIL for that. When DS was first born, DD would run around with the bottle and put it to her mouth. MIL would take it away from her and say ew, or say a word in French that means ew.

Ditto the constant use of the word mine and pulling a chair over to reach things that he is not supposed to have.

Also, he is obsessed with brushing his teeth aka standing on the bathroom step stool, chewing on his toothbrush while the water runs. I'm all for dental hygiene, but I am not for wasting water and he gets super angry when the water gets turned off. Sorry kid, we live in the desert!

Replace applesauce with cheese and pantry with fridge and you have my child.

Yep, mine has the same tooth brushing obsession...though she just sucks water off of her toothbrush.

+1. Though she rarely eats much of the cheese, she just likes unwrapping the Babybel cheeses.

Running away when I say "come here".

This is why my kid has to ride in the stroller or cart when out in public.

[ice61313]

Using my fingers to do something. Like press calculator buttons or read books.

[shevacc]

Planking when it's time to get in his car seat.

I was going to say the exact same thing. She also rolls over and clings to the top of the seat. And... She seems to be stronger than I am!

So much this!!! She thinks it's a game to run away from me.

Thirded.

[arraberra]

Going all floppy fish when I try to pick her up and then leaning WAY back when I actually am holding her.
And the whining...dear god the whining

Yes! It's nuts how strong they are!

How to unlock and open the back door. Gave me a heart attack! (We have since changed the door handle and lock.)

Where I store things like snacks and her dishes. If I forget to close the pantry door she brings me a pouch and a cup every time

Yes! Even if it's shut he stands at the door and whines
