Really! what do you think? Terrible 2s or terrible 3s? I am split with my choice... I always thought the language barrier with a 2 year old was incredibly frustrating (for both mum and baby). I found an amazing glimpse of hope when I saw the first signs of being able to reason with Master 3. Then that reason started to work against me. Now i have the same strong willed child who may or may not listen to my requests, who makes up his own mind, mainly in line with what would be expected but sometimes making decisions that come from somewhere I've never been... and then the heels dig in and the emotions take over. At this point I think this is so much harder than the terrible 2s... and then Miss 2 starts demanding (and demanding, and demanding...) I have never known a child who knows what she wants so well... down to which bowl she wants to use, which spoon, how full she wants her bowl filled, what pair of socks she wants to wear, what colour jumper she wants to wear (regardless of whether she owns that jumper) and all with her wonderful little words that all kind of sound alike unless you know exactly what she means before she says it.
So if these 'terrible 2s' and 'terrible 3s' end up hitting you at the same time.... well, i guess it can only get better from here!
