Whew! What a great bunch of comments over at my LJ (http://carrieb.livejournal.com) regarding the lovely transformation of my son into a hellion three year old. Honestly, he’s not a hellion. He’s just not as tractable as he used to be. Even at his worst, he is better than many children I [...]

I need to go to the library and get some child development books specifically for three year olds. I’ve heard over and over that three is the worst age, but it was hard to believe. His terrible twos tantrums lasted all of a month and then he was suddenly a mostly pleasant little [...]

Why was it cold the last week of pool season and now it is so hot I am going to die? Yet, there can be no swimming unless I want to pay $10 for the over chlorinated pool that’s a 15 minute drive away. Bah humbug!
