Three

No one ever talks about three. We hear about two all the time. They have entire articles about the "terrible two's" but not much about three. Oh three how I loathe you. We rang in three with promises of potty training and the end of tantrums. Three was sold as the age of independence. Three claimed better eating, better sleeping, better BEHAVING. Why three...WHY? A.J. has been three for 2 months and so far three has made two look like the "terrific two's". Three has NOT helped with potty training, or should I say complete lack of potty training. Three has not helped the tantrums, in fact not the tantrums are just louder and last longer. This age of independence myth, has resulted in arguments over shoes, bath time, bed time, car seat usage, teeth brushing, playing/sharing, and just about everything else. In-fact the only thing he doesn't want to be independent in is potty training.
