Dinosaurs Don't Go in the Dishwasher, Frying Pans Don't Go in the Dryer.

I love my toddler. Oh, yes! He's a toddler. He had the dishwasher full of dirty dinosaurs and the dryer full of the dishes that were previously in the dishwasher all while I was cooking dinner at the stove. Mylo finds his way to the cookie jar and demands cookies for both hands and then walks through the house chewing off legs and arms.
At 7:30pm, he looked at me and pointed upstairs and said "Ba", which means bath in my translation. I know I have a special education degree but I don't know anything about gifted. If I wrote his IEP today, the goal would be, "By April 2010, given plenty of cookies and noodles, Mylo will eat without throwing his food to the floor on 4 out of 5 attempts with 99% accuracy on mommy-made tests."
When he falls down, he can get up using his hands on the floor instead of crawling to a wall or looking for close by flesh to sink his talons into and hoist himself up with. Personally, I don't know how one goes through the day without 2 Pacies, Mylo sleeps with two and one in his mouth. He rotates through them at night, different flavs, what?
I am still struggling with how to respond to his fits. Like this afternoon, it was raining so we walked quickly from the car to the porch. We walked past the dump truck without playing with it and Mylo started screaming, pushing me and kicking.I've got a 24lb 5 oz kid on my right, school bag and purse on my right and car keys and phone in my hands. Strategically, I got inside and set him on the floor, his body went limp and slinki-like. I explained to my 12 month old that it was raining and we weren't going to play outside today and he could play with his inside dump truck. He continues to scream and the tears are just rolling. I push the inside dump truck to his side, he smiles, stops crying, gets up and pushes the dump truck down the hallway collecting any loose articles anyone left behind unsuspectingly. I am trying. I don't want him to be irrational and not handle not getting his way but he's one, I know he understands more than I think he does, but his grasp on logical and rational thought, the English language and communication is not fully developed. So, rationalizing with a 1 yr 14 day old is quite the feat.
