Jack has taken to asking me questions which he demands I answer, but when I do he gives me a very untrusting side-long glance and says "I go ask Mummy.". @Ina - People who teach other people's children to do things like stomp their feet should be put up against a wall and shot. Well, maybe not shot, but something like that. @Will – I also feel your pain.

My child also tells me that "Start your engines" is a bad word. Where she got it i'll probably have one good guess (her mother). But if I correct her and say its not a bad word she gets mad and doesn't believe me. I feel your pain Good Luck and pass the wine :) @naomi – I definitely know the feeling!

Jack does that too! He knows what all the letters sound like and we'll be doing a word like, say, "PET". Me: What does that say? Jack: P. Me: And what does "P" sound like? Jack: Puh. Me: Very good! And what's this letter? Jack: E. Like the E in Ed! Me: That's right! Now what's this letter? Jack: <em>I</em> know. Me: Good! What is it? Jack: Mummy knows, too. Me: I do know. So what does it say? Jack: I'm thinking. Me: You know it! Jack: No. I don't know what T says. Me: You just said it! Jack: No, I didn't. Me: Sweetie, can you hand me that box of wine over there? @ Will — Oh my God!

I have twin 3-year-old grandsons. They have different personalities so there we are in the "I'm gonna kick your butt because I what that" phase. It is a love/hate relationship but they do eventually sleep. Okay – quitcha (is that one word or two) bitchin’. I have twin 3-year-old grandsons.

Even though she is the light of my life, she tends the be the pain in my ass as most kids can be. She thinks it is funny to say I'm not saying this number or that letter and drives me up the wall. How can you say NO to including the number 7. lol! All I can say is come September Pre-School will see the wrath that she has to give.

Yes, it is. I've got 3 teens of my own, and we all survived. But it was always the "fucking fours"! So cute, and so painful at the same time. And yet, you'll forget about it later, by the time your child leaves a scathing letter to the tooth fairy for NOT FOLLOWING THE TOOTH FAIRY RULES! Yes. The tooth fairy has rules. But you will not know what they are UNTIL AFTER YOU BREAK THEM! :-o Enjoy! Hi Naomi,

Three SUCKS. Our pediatrician thought our kid was having "problems" because he wasn't talking when he turned two. Now we can't get him to shut up. Especially with the "No! I won't!" I swear if he says, "No I won't!" with the foot stamp (who TAUGHT him that???) one more time, I'm deporting myself. To Antarctica.
