You always hear the expression Terrible Two's, but I honestly never thought that age two was that bad. It is when they are three, or more specifically, about three and a half that they can claim the title 'Terrible.' Justin, who is 3 1/2, has been horrible lately. Openly defying everything we say, talking back, sticking his tongue out, hitting people and acting like the rules do not apply to him.
We catch him throwing his trash on the ground and when we make him pick it up, he throws a major tantrum or runs into the other room to hide. Despite us telling him three-four times a day not to climb up on the bar, he does it anyway. When I tell him to do something, I get an angry 'No' yelled at me. When I punish him for something, he sticks his tongue out at me. And he does it in the dumbest way possible. I will already have my back turned away from him and I hear him making a humming sound and so I turn around and see him sticking his tongue out. Really? Don't make the humming noise and you will never get caught!
I know for the most part this is just a phase as he tests how far he can push us, but I really want my sweet Justin back.

Oh jeez... I've heard about this, and it's the one thing I'm looking forward to the least as a future parent. All I can recommend is stay strong and be firm, stick it out. Your sweet Justin will return, I'm sure. Just give it time and patience :-)
