When will this irritating behaviour end?

[Ozziegirly]

My DS is 3 and a bit, lovely fun boy. But recently he's started just doing so many irritating things and it's driving me round the bend. He is always saying "poo", making irritating noises, talking constantly, singing tunelessly and constantly.

I am trying to ignore it or praise the nice bits "I love talking to you but it's hard to hear what you say with all the other noise" or "we can't hear you when you talk when other people are talking, so wait til I've finished and then I can hear you"

I don't want to be nagging on at him but FUCK the endless noise is driving me batty.

Also, he is playing so badly with a boy who used to be a good friend. It seems to go: DS does something irritating at him, boy screams no and goes to hit DS, DS hits him back, boy cries for ages. I've talked for what seems like 2 years about why we don't hit and I despair of him ever stopping.

I've also started trying to explain about "things that are annoying" that people don't like, but it doesn't seem to sink in at all.
He starts pre school in Jan and I'm hoping that the extra stimulation will help as the irritating noises etc are definitely more present when he's bored.

Does anyone have any advice?

No advice, but a boy will usually stop the irritating behaviour at about the age of 23.

Oh dear

Well I'm marking my place with interest OP. My 3yr old boy, who is also lovely, has developed a range of "annoying behaviours that are driving me potty including constant loud yelling, persistent loud interrupting, whining, emotional dramatics over everything, grabbing toys off his brother no matter how many cues.....tonnes of "but I dooooon't wasn't toooo!!!!", "Nooooooo!!!!!", waaaaaah! pout, pout, cry hysterically, pout.

I hope someone with some insight comes along

"Wasn't" too? "Want" to obviously bloody IPAD

I have a two year old boy and the irritating things he does are still just about cute (most of the time) I'm dreading this happening it sounds very trying!!! Is it possible to just ignore as much of it as you can?? Even though I know that's REALLY hard, if he's getting attention from it he is achieving his objective, it's attention seeking behaviour really. Also it sounds as if some of this behaviour could be dealt with by disciplining? Especially when playing with or the kids? What do you do when he doesn't okay nicely?
