We have all heard of the terrible two's, and maybe even experienced the drama of new found independence of toddlers. But for some, including us, we have been dealing with a completly new kettle of fish... the threenager. When Darcie blew those candles out on her third birthday cake, we thought we had escaped those bad toddler behavior moments, but for us it seem like it was the beginning! We have been, slightly flummoxed by her behavior since, literally, her third birthday. There is something in her eyes that tells me she know's that she is being a cheeky little madame and I think that is what is testing me even more. We all know that toddlers test the boundaries, spreading their wings, seeing what they can get away with. If I'm really honest, Darcie is not a naughty child. Not even close. But their has been some testing moments. Perhaps because I'm pregnant, and my tolerance levels are pretty low - I do often find myself raising my voice when really there is just no need. A frazzled hormonal mommy vs the threenager is never going to be pretty - but I'm hoping we all come out winners and this is a little faze which will soon fade out... preferably before baby arrives if your reading Darcie.
