Threenager was like a rollercoaster of changes from baby to big boy. He was learning to talk and figure out preschool, etc. I remember his first day of preschool he was snuggled in the teacher's arms sucking his thumb when I picked him up.
Now he's jumping off chairs and throwing toys....
Maybe it's the confidence that comes with that huge learning year? And, 'how far can I push it?'
J comes up with some things that make me shake my head. The other night he piled all his stuffed animals in front of the bathroom door while DH was showering. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "Daddy's going to see this and he's going to FREAK OUT!" I couldn't help but laugh but that he intentionally came up with this little scenario to "freak out" DH definitely made me think!

We struggled with 3, and I was afraid that the stage would never end. Luckily once he turned 4, life has been much better for all of us. It's like he flipped a switch, and he is pleasant for the most part. We have our issues, but it usually resolves itself.

4 was the easiest yet for us. There were definitely some sassy moments when he thought he knew it all, but overall 4 was great!

I'm so hoping that 4 is better than 3 years old. This morning, we had whining over cupcakes outside that don't exist. He woke up talking about cupcakes outside. I texted my husband asking about it. He didn't have a clue. I feel like the worst parent these days because all he does is whine and push, push, push boundaries. I can't wait for him to relax about the basic life stuff like getting dressed and getting food instead of near constant whining.
