The Rules of Me

The other night as Joseph was playing with his Cars coloring book and mess free markers, he said "Mommy, these are the rules of me. I am in charge." (clearly he is repeating things that Jay, his teachers and I have said....but he's using quirkier language that sounds quite laughable coming out of a three year old's mouth) After some discussion we concluded that Joseph could be in charge of coloring, but that I was in charge of everything else. The next night, Joseph reminded Jay that he was in charge of coloring, and I reminded them both that I am still in charge of the 10,000 other things going on. :)
