I was complaining to my mother (while Aid was still 2) about something that he was doing that was ridiculous. She said, "Just wait until 3. 3 is way worse. I don't know why they call them the terrible two's...." Thanks mom, I thought.
Wow. Was she ever right. If we all make it through the age of three in one piece it will be amazing. I spent the entire day today getting yelled at. I used every form of discipline I could think of and at some point put myself into time out so as not to do any serious bodily harm to the evil little thing.
There was crying. Slamming of doors. Pushing our brother. Hitting our mother (gasp!!!!) Terrorizing poor Leo. You name it, it happened.
Three is going to be a very long year I think.
Hey, here is part of a blog post I wrote last March about the kids at their current age. Noone had warned me of three's. Four has been better. Just hang in there!
ReplyDelete"Taxing three year old. Ryan, oh Ryan, if only you knew. I knew about the terrible twos, but no one had really warned me about the threes. I think they are just as difficult, if not more difficult than the twos. With the threes, they are smarter, more vocal, more stubborn, louder, more opinionated, just more of everything."
I still am in denial. It gets worse????!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sarah, it gets worse.
ReplyDeleteKelly. IT'S ALL SO TRUE!
