Part 35- Rules For Littles Without Caregivers

Now i know that i covered rules in another chapter but these are MY rules for littles without caregivers.

1.) Don't hurt yourself or others: You are wonderful and precious, you're special and there's no one else like you in this world. Please don't hurt yourself. There's only one of you. You're a special celebration. Don't give yourself ouchies. I can't be there to give them kisses to feel better. Don't hurt others, You're a good little aren't you? Only meanies hurt others on purpose.

2.) Sweets no more than 3 times a day: Sweets are good, but too many are bad for littles. You could get an upset tummy, and crash hard after having too much, Remember you can have other sweet things like dried fruits, yogurt and juices, cookies, and ice cream should be eaten sparingly.

3.) Brush your teeth every morning and night: This one might be hard to remember, but it's important to keep your bright happy smile as pretty as possible. Because i love it when you smile, and you should feel proud to show me how well you cleaned your little teethies.

4.) Bathing every other night: This one may be hard to do. I know it feels like hard work to drag yourself into the shower, but remember how good and clean and nice you feel afterwards . Make it fun with lots of bubbles and bath crayons, or take it when you have trouble sleeping. You won't get punished too much if you miss this one, but try to reward yourself instead.Save one of your sweets for after your bath so you can have something to look forward to!

5.) Take your medicines!: Pills, vitamins,insulin shots, whatever you need to stay safe and healthy make sure you do it. I love you very much, and i would be sad if my precious little got hurt from not remembering to take their medicines. Try and keep a sticker chart to help you remember, or flip your bottle upside down once you've taken it, in case you forget if you have or not.

6.) Tell your plushies good morning and good night: You know while your waiting for someone to take care of you, you take care of your plushies. Having someone to tell good morning and good night to can make you feel warmer and happier. It helps start your day off happy, and winds you down for sleepy times. Plus your plushies are always happy to hear you talk to them. Give them lots of kisses too.

7.) Bed time is no later than 11:00: No whining or talking back. Bedtime is bedtime. Sleep is very important for a growing little like you. Bedtime is a safe time. Get warm and cozy with all your blankies, make a nest of pillows and plushies. If you need me to, i will read you a bedtime story. But you need to make sure you get your sleep little one, understand?

8.) Talk to someone if you feel sad or unsafe: If you start yo feel more sad than usual, if little space on your own doesn't help make those loud bad thoughts go away, talk to someone. Talk to other littles, talk to a sitter or foster, talk to me, i will be here for you to blow those thoughts far away an assure you how much your loved, and how your space is a good safe place. If anyone makes you feel bad or uncomfortable block them. You don't owe a single explanation, your safety comes first. Always.

9.) Remember i love you to the moon and back: I love you, little one, i love you more than there are stars and space multiplied by the grains of sand on every beach. I love your sleepy yawns, and grumpy pouts. I love you wrapped up in blankets and splashing in the bath. I love you when you worry that you're being clingy or needy, because you're not. It makes me so happy to feel needed by you. I love you, little one. I love you so much. Follow the rules and take care of yourself. Understood?
