Everytime I’ve thought about the title of this post, my head immediately goes to the standard dating break up line, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Which, strangely enough, is appropriate here as well.
What I’m talking about is toddlers. Yes, those fantastically cute cherubic little people wandering around with the squishy cheeks being oh-so-adorable who can immediately morph into the screechingest, whiniest, most unpleasable humans to every grace the face of the earth.
Ah, so you’ve seen one or two of these specimen, have you? 
Okay, so, the point of this post is to let you all in on a little secret. In my experience, the two year olds get the bad wrap here. Everyone has heard the term the terrible twos, yes? Well, let me just say, if you have one child and he or she is two and you’re thinking “whew, we’ve made it through the twos quite easily and I don’t have a clue what those other parents are talking about and we must just be the BEST PARENTS EVER”……..hold on to your seat.
Really, I think every 3 year old should have to walk around with a sign that says, “It’s not you, it’s me…”, at least, every 3 year old I’ve ever met.
Tomorrow, I may tell you why.
I remember telling you a long time ago that in my vast childcare experience, 3 was way worse than 2. they have too many words to use and too little patience. and they are getting too smart.
Jack: I do remember you saying that when you worked in the 2 yr old room. Still don’t think I could take a significant number of either of the ages at one time!
I beg to differ. I believe 4 is really the new 2.
Hsien: Ha! I hope not. I still have 2 to get through their 4 yr old stage. Only one and a half to get through the 3s!!!
