Somebody tell me ds aged 3(who thinks he is 33) is normal. He knows everything, and is all of a sudden getting sassy. He is NOT listening....and did I mention he knows EVERYTHING!

Yeah, but then they turn 5 and won't stop talking. Four was golden.

My fingers are now firmly in my ears...lalalalalalalala. I can't hear any of you.

I know how Luanne feels about 4, but I didn't think it was too bad. I think I got it all at once with 2.

I remember that with 3 -- the authority! They can talk and verbalize so much more and have increased staying power over 2. I think that is what is hard about 3 and 4 -- the committment to cause.

I adored 4. If I could pick an age to have frozen my son at forever, it would have been 4. Perfect age, in my opinion.

I thought 3 was really hard, and 2 wasn't that bad. My daughter is putting the terrible in twos, however.

3 is worse than 2. 3 is 2 with vocabulary, perserverance & attitude.

5 seems to be a little better ....

7 and 10 are great! As long as you keep them away from each other...

Three was a struggle, four has been better in some ways and worse in others. I hope five evens out!

We have a know-it-all, sass in our house, too. She is too smart for her own good. There is no point in trying to argue with her with her persistance.

I couldn't agree more. Four is the best age ever. They are still so cute and young and little (and somewhat compliant). They don't give a rip what their peers think.

Two gets a bad wrap. Three is much harder.
