Drew....Almost 3

He's almost three and the treacherous threes have begun. He's dramatic, throwing more tantrums, becoming quite opinionated, bossy, mouthy...yep...that about sums it up. I had forgotten how much I dislike this stage. It was hard age for Ian, but, I think it's going to be worse with Drew. He's such a smart little guy and he knows what pushes my buttons and when he's in one of his little moods....he pushes away.

OK...as I'm posting this he came in with a book and proceeded to sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star to me. How sweet.

How can he be so sweet one moment and then a terror the next? Ah...we will survive.

Ha! Oh, those precocious three-year-olds. I totally remember that stage! Everyone had warned about the "terrible two's" so when we breezed through that year, I thought we had it in the bag. Oh no. How come no one warns you about the "terrible three's"? :)

Wow, you summed up our house as well. Nice one minute and a total terror the next. Good luck!!!

"You always hear watch out for the terrible two's" But I have found with both of my older children 3 was the worst. Oh and 10! That should give you something to look forward too. :-) But mixed with the terrible is always the sweet! Lots of wet kisses and hugs!! I cherish those!!

I totally agree w/ Valerie.... it was the terrible, no good, threes that nearly put my in a looney bin. They can be so cute yet so maddening. The good news is that you will make it through....with flying colors. I just feel it in my bones. Hugs!
