    I am hating this 2-3 years phase - Is it just me?

    @paloma22 There were nice moments of 4 but mine just turned 5 and is going through a terrible stubborn and not listening phase that is driving me nuts. Solidarity. 2 thru 5 is hard.

    I am hating this 2-3 years phase - Is it just me?

    @reporter94 Yes! Agreed. Wiping their own butt is a HUGE GAMECHANGER but I have to pay attention because mine has this gross tendency to "forget" to wash her hands. Also, F norovirus

    @roseforchrist In the small group of parents that I got to know through a birth class while pregnant, the only 2 people who want more (one has had another, another is actively trying and battling infertility issues) are the two women in that group who have a HUGE social network of family...

Communicative, independent, wiping her own butt was a huge burden lifted from each day. Getting her own water, snacks if...

    Will i ever not be tired again?

    @charlie319 At that age when I tried to go to the zoo or a museum, my kid would find the one grassy spot in the picnic area or the like and just start twirling and being her silly self as if it were a park, with no heed or interest to the other aspects of the experience.
