I had fogotten how hard it is To have a 3yr old running round the house,
To have a family meal all sitting together,
To cope with the endless questions,
To take to the cinema!!!!!

I have 3Dc lucky for me the youngest one will be 7yrs next month, I can honestly say I dont remember when suddenly life got easier- I thought it was getting harder but after today give me the the older ones any day.

Truthfully I enjoyed this little person-He is rather gorgeous- Its a good reminder and all you parents out there you deserve a medal!

Please dont get me wrong I thoroughly enjoyed this 3 yr old but was absolutely amazed at how grown up my 6yr old had become! Its awful when little ones are not well- whats up with her?

I love my 3 yo to bits but she is tiring!!! Such a sweetie but such a little devil too! Can't wait to go through it all again with DD2!

It's such a lovely age...would love to freeze time though not sure how long I could keep up!

breadgirl · 18/02/2007 22:29

I think it's the start of a cold. She had a croaky voice last night (but she still wanted to sing) and woke up with a stuffy nose .. now she has a temperature, but is asleep now. Woke up briefly to tell me she wanted to go to the toilet as i gave her water to sip earlier with her calpol.

I think when she is 6-7 yrs old .. i will have fogotten what it was like when she was a toddler though

Just think of the grown up meals you can have,I honestly have to say and I never told the poor old Mum, its the most and best my DC have eaten, they cleared their plates,even with things they dont normally eat and give me and DH a hard time on, So please can we borrow a DC of 3 every Sunday lunch

DS was fab at 3 ... now at 7 he is lippy and full of back chat ...
DD, just 3 is hard work but scrumptious ...

Absolutely , we forget so easily so if you have a video camera now is the time to video- we dont own one only the one on the digital camera, they are great fun record it as you forget how funny they are!

I don't have a video camera, only my digital camera too. I filmed her dancing last year, but lost it when my pc got fixed (didn't have a copy).
Actually, my db filmed them singing yesterday and he sent it to me today .. so i have that

He's a total nightmare isn't he, Bubble?!!
I think we completely exhausted him today, as he went to sleep very quickly tonight!
I have just been up to check on him & he looks all angelic!!

pinkchampagne · 18/02/2007 22:52

Not taking him inside a cinema again until he is at least 7 though!!

I have DD3 not feeling very well at the mo, she has a sore throat and DD1 says that DD3 has been moving around alot and talking to herself and thats its been worrying her- maybe Im in for along night!

OP posts:
pinkchampagne · 18/02/2007 22:58

Oh dear, what was he doing to DS1?
He is a beast & it's always DS1 that comes out worse in a squabble!
Don't know if it's 3 year olds in general, or just that mine is an especially naughty 3 year old!!

Twiglett · 18/02/2007 22:58

DD is 2.8 but can I have a medal too .. she's very advanced

pinkchampagne · 18/02/2007 22:58

Oh dear - hope they're ok.

Aefondkiss · 18/02/2007 23:00

thanks for the recognition, they are totally gorgeous but yes I agree, my dd is much more grown up, and sadly I think I can be quite hard on her sometimes because I find it hard to balalnce the attention etc,

still the welcome home I get from ds (nearly 3) is just so utterly unique I think to wee ones,

pinkchampagne · 18/02/2007 23:02

LOL! Parents of 2 year olds deserve big medals too! I was hoping DS2 would suddenly transform at 3, but a month short of his 4th birthday & I am still waiting!!

Actually anyone that has a child I think needs 1000 medals each for each child they have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Won't be taking her to the cinema anytime soon though!
