Summary
EP15. As parents we want our kids to love their toys and be excited when we buy them new ones. It's all fun and games until your toddler wants to have a bath with their stuffed Toy Story dolls and then sleep with them... while they're soaking wet. We can't win as parents. You want to buy them everything you know they are going to love. But, if they love it TOO much, you're f*cked.
In this episode Renee discusses her son's obsession with Toy Story. Of course it's cute to watch him love his toys, but "toddler love" often turns ugly and ends in a full blown meltdown. Can you say unhealthy attachment?? She also shares toys and tantrums stories from listeners.
Get ready for a laugh. And, if you're coming up to the toddler age, let this episode be a warning.

| 0:21.4 | How can we prevent this from happening? Well, I have just the thing, and it is called name bubbles. It is a mom |

| 0:32.2 | waterproof name labels for kids stuff, including lunch boxes, water bottles, backpacks, clothing, you name it. |
| 0:39.1 | They have something to put your child's name on it. So it comes back home. These will be staying on |
| 0:44.2 | long term because they are dishwasher safe and laundry safe. They're not only for school. They're |
| 0:49.6 | also great for daycare, sports, camps, anywhere where things tend to go missing. With children, that's most |

| 1:34.9 | you have always wanted. I am recording this from the comfort of my living room. It is Friday |
| 1:41.5 | morning, I guess. It's 1130. I am sitting on the couch with my two dogs and I just |

| 1:56.2 | irritating tales about your toddlers and toys. This is a completely random subject. We had a little bit of a |
| 2:04.6 | meltdown last night after bath time and I woke up this morning and I was like, well, there you go. |
| 2:09.8 | There's a perfect topic for this week's solo podcast episode. I mean, it's nothing groundbreaking, |
| 2:15.9 | but I'm sure it's something that we all |
| 2:17.9 | struggle with and go through with our lovely little toddlers. I'll get into what happened last |
