Let the record reflect...

...that I think whoever came up with the "terrible twos" had never met a three year old.
That is all.

I think "terrible twos" was invented for the mother of twin 2 year old boys....although terrible 16's was harder !

Oh my. Sounds like you're having the kind of week we're having.

Josh is on a tear this week. It's nuts.

It's an awful saying...they can be terrible at any age!

i agree, three is much worse!

Shelly said...

oh my word jess-that's like the funniest thing ever--HA!

Julie said...

I can totally agree - 3 IS worse. It should be "tolerable twos" and "terrible threes"

You are so right. A couple of my friends have daughters the same age as my daughter, and all through the twos we would say, "Wow. Terrible twos? This is fantastic!" And then each of them turned three, and none of us was prepared.

There is a good book that's helping us, called "1-2-3 Magic". It is fantabulous.

Good luck.

I think they hit the Terrible Twos way before they turn two--more like when they become more mobile and even more so when they start to walk-- but the threes are worse by far--I think because they can talk back along with what they do!!
How about the Tenacious Threes??
