Things I really hoped I wouldn't still be dealing with at 3
Nappies
Food and cutlery on the floor every meal time
Screaming fits about hair washing, dressing, changing, toothbrushing, nail cutting, hair cutting, face washing, getting in and out of carseat or stroller,
Screaming fits over absolutely trivial little things like "gasp" "horror" I gave him the green spoon by the handle instead of holding it by the bowl which he has never requested before but is some sort of child abuse
Waking up 2-3 times a night most nights, able to settle self but everyone else wakes up in meantime
"Mummy?......."followed by "Yes, DS?" followed by "Mummy?..." "Yes, DS?" Mummy? etc ad nauseum
Complete inability to cope with changes, waking up for days after sheet changes "I want the blue sheets, I want the blue sheets" then when has blue sheets back "I want the red sheets, I want the red sheets"
