* have a propensity for hiding things and then forgetting where they are
* are old enough to say "I love you" and mean it
* sometimes say "I love you" at random times, like in the middle of dinner. Sigh.
* are really, really noisy
* tend towards bossy
* have the most amazing imaginations
* are waaaay more independent than two year-olds
* don't take naps
* don't participate in "quiet time" anymore
* can sometimes be amazingly generous with toys and treats
* can sometimes be amazingly stingy with toys and treats
* love to sing
* will crumble into an absolute puddle when they drop their cookie on the ground. Like, shoulders heaving, wailing, and big fat tears dripping down her cheeks
* will smile from ear-to-ear when another cookie appears
* won't say hello to a guest in your home, but will chat ad nauseum with the clerk at the grocery store, or the orthopedic surgeon during their brother's appointment
* like to "help," but lose interest after about 3.7 seconds
* are really, really messy. It's like living with a whirling derbish
All in all, three year-olds are a species unto themselves.
