\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

1. When you put on a pretty dress – twirl.<\/p>\n

2. A hug and a kiss really can make you feel better.<\/p>\n

3. Be upfront with people. Ask for what you want (remember to say please), and name your feelings. “I want some ice cream,” and “I’m sad” are a lot easier to deal with than non-specific pouting. Even if Mommy already ate all the ice cream.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0There is almost always enough time for a snuggle.<\/p>\n

5. Spend a little time coloring, drawing, or otherwise being creative every day.<\/p>\n

6. Sing out loud when you are happy – it multiplies your joy, and it makes other people smile too. Even if it’s just in amusement.<\/p>\n

7. Dance in the living room – who cares if the windows are open.<\/p>\n

8. Playing is serious business.<\/p>\n

9. Naptime is like hitting the RESET button on the day.<\/p>\n

10. Everything is Amazing!<\/p>\n
