This is sweet! It described my 3 yr old to a T actually - except the part about turning the house upside down when you have a shower. ;) I am loving this age, except (and sometimes including) the power struggles.

DD's birthday is in January--so how many days until four??? 'Cause three is a rough ride!!!

that article is about MY child!!! of course, it was a rough start to four- and he DID NOT sleep all night. but the moment we went gluten free (i have celiac, so he likely does) he turned into the very marshmellow that the author described.

mommy, i love you.

dylan, i love YOU.

no mommy, i love YOU!

no dylan, i love YOU.

i love YOU, mommy.

and so on and so forth.

somedays, i swear i could just take a bite of him.

I know--at 4, they're so accomplished, but still babies at heart. :)
