It is all about how it sounds to the child when explained to them. When they would argue over who got to be first, I started saying something like: "ha ha, I got it last!" The cookie issue was the same way. Soon it became a joke and they have been fighting over who is last... hmm, maybe I took it too far, but I was experimenting on a new idea and was never told how it would work. Regardless, I found it easier to teach them that jokes can easily be taken too far than to get them to stop fighting over a perceived need to have the biggest and best. The toilet situation was created by making it fun. We got a can of cleaning scrub that foams up really well when sprayed on. Then proceeded to make a huge deal about how cool it looked. Yea, it works better for boys yet that is all I have.

I have worked with negative people and positive people and I would rather work with a postive person that knows nothing than a negative person who is an expert. So I will love for my daughter to be positive. Red towels for blood...I don't own a red towel and I am sure a child is going to realize the blood is coming from them and will cry from the pain! Thanks for the post it was hilarious. My daughter is 19 months so I don't have a wealth of advice. I loved Happiest Baby on the Block and that got me through the first stressful months. I also have taught my little one some signs and it is awesome! Also I would say if you are breast feeding give the baby some formula early on...I didn't know this and had this bright idea to wean and my daughter REFUSED to drink formula. She didn't eat for an entire day! So I was frantically working on increasing my breast milk after not pumping all day. :) Hello...what was I thinking??! I love the advice to focus on the postive.
