Is Caleb going to turn out to be a little brat??? He's a tempermental mofo right now...has been for a while now...and I just wonder...does that signal future tantrums, breakdowns, stubborn behaviors, and insubordination??

Here are some examples of his "tantrums"
  • yell
  • scream
  • arch his back
  • kick his legs
  • throw stuff
  • hit
  • scratch
We don't know if this is normal behavior for his age, him exerting more independence, or him being a spoiled brat. He's rough...he likes to push things over, fling things around, throw things...is that just being a boy, or is that being a little butt?

I really wonder what life is going to be like with a little girl...will she be polar opposites of Caleb, will they like each other, will he show a gentle side with his little sister? If he treats her anything like he treats us, we're going to have to keep him away because he'll scratch and slap the heck out of her! 4 months and she'll be here...nutts...

Eh, our 3 year old is a girl. She was our angel baby. lol Never broke anything, however.... she whines... omg does she whine! haha The teachers adore her though. She listens, is polite, and is alwys trying to work out everybodies issues in class. Wyatt... that kid is rough. He can break anything, he loves to rough house... has attempted hitting us... I hit back. lol They are jsut so different. If you told Ella no at his age, she'd break down into tears and NEVER touch it again.. Wyatt laughs at you. You have to assert your authority over him big time. Not so much with Ella. A little goes a long way. however, Wyat and Ella are very close. Wyatt is very gently with babies too. Try not to worry too much. I bet most of it is your son just being a boy. ;)
