At least once a day, there is a situation like this, where he starts going and nothing seems to calm him down. Depending on our mood we get frustrated or look at him and laugh. Redirection works, but that's not always possible. It will end eventually. Right? H_ has been really going at it (2.5 y.o.).

Every mom I have ever met who has lived with a three year old or is currently in possession of one is always; "terrible twos? More like terrible threes!" I got off pretty easy with both of mine and two. But they lost any shred of humanity and sanity when they hit three.

I can't wait until the morning of her fourth birthday when she magically goes back to being awesome and normal. I see you already are aware three is worse.
