Twenty Strong Reasons 3-Year-Olds Are The Very Best & The Absolute Worst




Why they’re The Best Ever
Have you seen a three-year-old open a present? It’s epic. You could wrap up an apple from the kitchen and they will act like you just bought them a diamond necklace. It makes Christmas morning spectacular.
They are full of new words that you had no idea they knew. Your oatmeal is tolerable, you say?
They say things that are so hysterical you feel they could have their own stand-up comedy show.
Their belly laugh is the best sound in the world.
They have their own names for things. My daughter calls Target, Red Walmart. I almost don’t want her to learn the right versions of things.
They dance and sing without fear of humiliation or shame.
They think farting is the funniest thing ever.
They say things that are meant to be mean but come out entirely hilarious. My daughter told her dad randomly last week, “You’re really pushing my buttons, dad!” But it was so funny, we couldn’t help but laugh.
They say they love you in the sweetest ways. My little one tells everyone, “I like you so much!”
They are like little tiny people and it’s just the cutest damn thing ever.





Why They’re The Worst
They have incredibly strong opinions about everything. What they wear, where you are going, who is sitting next to them, which cup they are drinking from…
They know too little and too much at the same time. Like that big bellies on a woman mean there is a baby in there, but they don’t know that big bellies on a woman often DON’T mean there’s a baby in there.
They always have to pee.
They never help pick up.
They can’t let anything go. Whatever they are mad about will last all day, with small breaks of forgetfulness in between.


They have things they need but can’t properly explain it. They say things like, “It’s the yellow thing with the straight line!” You have a 15-minute, impossible conversation until you realize they’re asking for GoGurt.
They stop napping even though they desperately need one.
They are always taking their clothes off.
They stomp their foot a lot.
And put their hands on their hips
