I'm not sure where the term "terrible twos'" came from. Steven was an absolute angel right up until about mid-way into his threes. Now that he's two months away from his fours, we are in a full-blown attitude meltdown. Who is this kid? I haven't received any concerning reports from daycare, or even grandma, so it appears he's found my buttons and mine alone. And he pushes them often. With glee. He's discovered the power of saying the word "no," the adrenaline high of standing on chairs in restaurants, the pure joy of throwing (anything), and the freedom that is derived from pretending to be deaf.
Imagine my surprise, and envy, to spend time with four-year-old Mia, the adorable daughter of forum member Travis (travis-g) and Melody, who made the trek from Kentucky to join us at this year's Pilgrimage. Mia was not only perfectly behaved, but perfectly behaved around 70 or so complete adult strangers with not another child in sight, discussing not Disney Princesses, nor Polly Pockets, nor Dora the Explorer, but AUDIO! Compelling stuff for a preschooler, let me tell you. Kudos to you, mom and dad.
Steven would've been crawling under tables trying to pull down linens after about 10 minutes.
