I hear you...I am a firm believer that 3 year olds are worse than 2 year olds.!
I love your posts like this! You seem to be able to put into words what I can't. :-) And I love how this one came after your nice one! Too funny!
Good Questions! Let me know when you get the answers:)
I'd love to read your post when you've answered all those questions. It would be very helpful to a lot of us moms. Ahhh...toddlers are great!
Aren't these all rhetorical questions? :) Great, humorous post! I enjoyed it!
THis post made me laugh. Oh the days of being a mom....can't wait to see how I handle that.
AMEN!!!
HAHA! I really liked this post. I was totally just thinking about how crazy it is that kids can make friends so easily but adults can't. I was thinking how adults just get so set in their ways and when someone else isn't that way...it's not as fun to talk to them. :)
