Oh I always say there's no such thing as the terrible two's....it's three for sure!

Big One was the sweetest two year old you'd ever come across...but three was another story altogether...I wasn't even sure I LIKED her at that stage. It was a miserable time. But alas, she turned 4 and all was right with the world again (mostly)

Catching up....been taking a break from the bloggy world...nice to be back...forgot how much I love your blog and others too....it's a great part of the day

I totally hear ya! I didn't really have terrible two's here, but holy crap were the three's bad. Some days. Then they snap back to nice for a day or two.. All I can say is good luck!!!

It's not the terrible twos...at least it never was here...but 3's?!! Lookout!!!

So, yea, I know where you are coming from. Just keep in mind...it will pass!!

I think I'd like to go back to 3 with my now teen son. Yes, I'm pretty sure I do. lol

3 was my hardest age as a mommy. Terrible 2's are nothing compared to 3.

Good thing is that they will turn 4! Good luck until then. ;)

I love your blog - Left blogging for awhile and have recently returned... Anyway, I love this post! Both of my boys were like different children when they were three. Two was nothing compared to three and you are so right - It is like they are "out of body" at times. My little guy turns four next week and I just pray that the out of body experiences die down a bit!

2009-11-14T11:38:14.649-08:00

IPods work wonders at times like that. And I'm not kidding. I put mine on when I'm cleaning and I barely hear my children...it makes them SO mad...and I don't care. :)

B had terrible 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 year old phase. He started early :-) and I thought I was just spoiled with the easiest baby, who was happy and slept wonderfully. If I only knew what was coming.

Wyn was definitely a terrible 3 year old!

FiFi didn't have a "terrible" stage but she is really shy, and passive. She mainly went through a "crying" phase, where no matter what you asked her to do she cried and acted sad. I guess that sounds like a tantrum without the screaming. She has done this for the past 4 years so some of it is her personality.

2009-11-13T12:21:44.420-08:00

mine's actually gotten over that bad phase so there's hope for you... however, my 5yr old neice told me yesterday, in her best insult voice, "You are NOT the prom Queen!"

Amazing... I just left my current three yearl old ...

2009-11-13T11:23:00.780-08:00

Amazing... I just left my current three yearl old exhausted in his bed after I had to chase him down, attempt to maintain some composure as I hauled his squirmy, surprisingly strong little body to his room all the while he tried to kick me in the face. There's still a ringing in my ears... all because I said: Ok buddy, nap time!

Then I sat down, picked up my computer and read your post.

Seriously. And, uh yeah. No one believes he acts this way. I need a good cry and a drink!

Don't you just love it when you're kids save their 'best' just for you??

2009-11-13T07:50:38.793-08:00

Whoever took her over, got Isabelle, too! She keeps telling me "you hurt my feelings!" Huh? I told you to clean up your mess.

Fun.

She's your friend til the end. Hidey Ho! LOL Well...

2009-11-13T07:14:36.088-08:00

She's your friend til the end. Hidey Ho! LOL

Well when my 6 year old gets in trouble he says "You probably don't like me anymore" oh and "You're MEAN!". Yea I feel great right about then. LOL

2009-11-13T05:21:11.804-08:00

I hear ya! I feel like my daughter is constantly bribing me against my will some days! Do this Mommy OR....and sometimes, it's easier to just DO what she wants then to deal with the aftermath. She is turning 3....guess it really is teh age.

2009-11-12T21:43:38.112-08:00

That's the reason I dread early November. They still remember about the candy, and turn in to "The Bride of Chuckie" when they can't have candy for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack!

My 3 year old daughter does the same thing. When I...

2009-11-12T21:43:06.079-08:00

My 3 year old daughter does the same thing. When I tell her "no", she'll say "fine, I don't love you then or what the one that really tugs at my heart strings "i'm not gonna your daughta' anymore".

Totally sounds like my house with Kendall right no...

2009-11-12T20:28:41.654-08:00

Totally sounds like my house with Kendall right now! At least we are in good company, well if we were with each other and not with our CRAZY toddlers!! ;) I say that with all the love possible!

Oh and he ate liver with fava beans! But heart sounds better in a non-cannibal, gross way! I'm just sayin'!
