katilac Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Wait a minute, lol. I just left the library w/ a 3yo complaining that she couldn't carry the 40lbs of books my 9yo was complaining he had to carry & running away from big sis trying to hold her hand across the parking lot. That was the easy part. 2yo was SCREAMING & LAUGHING & RUNNING AWAY & ANNOUNCING "There's poopoos in my diaper," which is only sometimes true but always embarrassing. As he wriggles & slips away one way, 3yo runs up, grabs my arm, & starts hanging upside down from me on the other side. I offer food, & they don't want it. They complain about naps & they complain about not getting naps. They cry on their way to bed & scream when they get up. (3yo cried the other day when I suggested a "little nap." Why? She's a *big* girl & wants a *big* nap!) Don't get me wrong. They're incredibly cute. 5% of the time, lol. The rest of the time, they lay on the ground & scream, & when you ask why, you get, "iuknow." Ok, then. Could ya stop crying? NO! :lol: Kisses? Sometimes they make things better. Other times, they get, "NO KISSES! NO KISSES!" :001_huh: oh, honey, you are SO done, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassenach Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I've come to believe that the years between 4 and 10 are the golden ones. Once dd hit 11, things started getting challenging again. Twelve and thirteen have sucked. I so appreciate my 6 and 8 year old right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
