I have two I see on the regular. One is 3 and the other is 6.

The 3 year old wound up with some sort of delay in developing his speech - he understands everything. Just can't respond fully, and gets frustrated. He talks like he's in his early twos, but his vocabulary is much bigger in terms of what he understands.

My sister is a bit concerned, but I told her that something similar happened to me - hell I was reading before I could put together a reasonable sounding sentence - in order. She wouldn't know as she is 14 years my junior and we weren't raised together - I was adopted out at 2.

Anyway - oh man, the terrible threes are something else. He really doesn't like wearing pants! I mean, I've had those days too, but I can't recall needing to be in timeout over it. Laugh | :laugh:

The 6 year old is now a first grader. That's a rough age IMO, because it's all toilet jokes. At least my hubby got him into Captain Underpants stories. That will distract him. Shucks | :-\

hours of play dough flinging and making "slime" later and here we are. I thank the FSM my hubby is so good with kids, because I barely know what to do with myself around them at that age. I'm little-kid-stupid. I was a weird kid myself and didn't relate to most other kids even back when I was one.

I can't wait until they're teenagers. Teenagers I can handle and relate to pretty readily. I worked at a shelter for homeless teens for awhile. Couldn't afford to keep doing it, but I figured out that teenagers are my sweet spot, as far as kids go. I understand them. They're kids, but they're not mercurial. Basically anyone 15-25 - boys at least - I put in that same rough age category. Aspiring adults.

And no, a 22 year old guy isn't an adult. Have you ever dated one? Laugh | :laugh: That's why I stuck with older guys when I was younger.

Anyway, regarding nephews. Y'all should get yourselves some. They're fun to spoil and jack up on sugar. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:
