It’s the odd numbers all the way! Just take a deep breath, and enjoy.

My brother and his wife seem like people who haven’t slept in a thousand years. My nephew has mood swings galore and I think that they’re just hoping that they’ll still like him by the time that it’s all done. : )

My wee one is 2 1/2. I do think it’s a growth spurt thing too. She’s been extra fidgety and can’t sit still worth a darn. And wouldn’t you know that she’s also recently become obsessed with the Disney princesses (much to my dismay). If her level of entitlement goes any higher, I’m calling another family meeting…!!! Hang in there, mama. 😉

Mood swings galore! One minute we are best friends, the next minute she’s screaming and in tears. Level 0-100 in a blink of an eye. There’s no in-between right now. I really like Lishy’s quote above. It makes sense and I try to remember this when things are difficult. My one strategy that seems to help, is the louder she gets, the quieter I get. I wait it out before trying to impart any wisdom on her. 3 is challenging, but also such a amazing time!
