All of the things that makes 3 year olds awful also makes them pretty cool
Upon hearing he couldn’t have any more iPad time today, little guy decides to pick it up over his head and throw it at his mom. That’s new... but we were able to have a pretty rational conversation about it and the consequences.
An hour later I ask him if it’s cool being a big brother. He says, “yea, it is. I’m amazing!”
The personality development has pros and cons. At least there is some humor in it.

Gulp! I have a 3 year old daughter who’s about to become a big sister next month. This week her newest and most frequently uttered phrase is “it’s just going to be mummy and daddy and me” over and over again hahaha. Hopefully she’ll decide she’s an amazing big sister eventually
When the baby first came he was a little hesitant but eventually just pretty much ignored him. Now that the baby is getting mobile and grabby, the big one is starting to get a little more sensitive about sharing mommy, daddy, and the toys. We try to maintain a balance of sharing and allowing him to claim certain things as his own for a while.
Good luck!
Thanks! I need it, unfortunately she has my fiery temperment and stubborn nature!
