Oh Gosh! Can they just skip 3?

I was never a strong believer in the “terrible two’s” saying. Two, I think, is a nice age, a curious age, a playful and loving age, an age where they can have fun with us, when they really enjoy pleasing us and when they can easily be tricked!

Three, I think, is an age I can skip. I can really skip the defiance, the angst, the general craziness associated with a kid who wants to be a big boy and a small baby all at once!

Especially my 3 year old people! He is sometimes beyond ridiculous with his arguments and his insomniac-ness! Oh! Kids! They’re a blessing right?

So my “not 2 anymore!” year old kid has turned into an amplified version of his former self. Where before he would cry not to nap, but would get tired enough in about 10 minutes to fall asleep, now he is telling me he “won’t” and walking out of the room! If only he were ugly, I would be able to look him in the eyes and demand that he take a beauty nap, but alas, I look at him and instead feel the urge to kiss his mischievous, little, smirking face!
