XP: toddler books you would recommend

Not for a toddler, for me about toddlers

Discipline and good tips type stuff.  I know Tania suggested one a while back and of course I wrote it somewhere and now don't know where!! So i'm looking for some suggestions of things you've read or heard of and liked.

I've heard good things about The Happiest Toddler On the Block - but haven't personally read it.   But I did enjoy Happiest Baby on the Block and think the author may have some wisdom to offer.

Hey there Leanna!  The book I always point to is:

Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline by Becky Bailey:

https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Love-Difficult-Discipline-Cooperation/dp/0060007753 

I swear I use choices all the time now, even down to: "You can put that back with your right hand or your left hand: which hand are you going to use to put that back where it belongs?"  And I am always amazed when he falls for it, I mean, when it works!  I admit that it does not always work and it's not always easy, but it's a lot easier than it used to be.  The idea is "loving guidance" or "conscious discipline."
