The Joys of Age 3

Since G turned 3 in March, its been a flow of interesting tidbits coming from him. For the first couple of months, he was very mouthy and fresh. Then it calmed down for a while. Now it seems to be picking back up again. The other day while riding in the car, I was telling him not to do something (who knows what, it all blends together these days) and he very dramatically told me "Mommy, your voice hurts my ears."

Damn is he lucky I was DRIVING and could really react much. I have also bee told to leave him alone and not to "Make that face" (My angry face). Its a constant struggle lately of battles of the wills and arguments. The other day he got mad at Daddy for trying to get him to eat dinner and he promptly peed in his pants on purpose (even though he has been in underwear for a while now. I shall not discuss it for I may jinx the whole thing).

The moral of the story and my senseless, late night blabbering? When your child turns 3, have plenty of wine on hand!
