Parenting 202

So, all the rules I finally had a grip on after 4 years of Ian (aka: Parenting 101) have gone completely out the window - apparently that's the lesson plan for Parenting 202 (aka: Jesse).

Things I never thought I would do:
1) Allow my 22 month old to have a lollipop
2) Allow my 22 month old to play with Hot Wheels cars
3) Allow my 22 month old to drink soda (nearly every time I have some he drinks some)
4) Allow my 22 month old to eat in the car (raisins as a snack on the way to the doctor's office)
5) Allow my 4 years old to "watch" my 22 months old, while I'm in the shower

Because:
1) Ian didn't have lollipops until he was 3 years old
2) Ian didn't play with Hot Wheels until he was 3 years old
3) Ian hardly ever drank from my soda and only recently (after his 4th birthday) has be been allowed to order Sprite, Fruit Punch, or Orange on any sort of regular basis
4) Ian NEVER eats in the car - except during our most recent car trip
5) Ian stayed in his crib while I showered until he was 2.5 years old
