Add me to the 4 year old with attitude...where does she get it. She can't actually do anything I tell her to do. If I say to put something on the table, she will say, "I'll put it on the counter"...it may seem minor, but it's for everything. And the, "ok, ok, I know" with eye roll. I am making her respond to me with, "yes, Mommy" which she does usually after an ok or two... She is very frustrating right now. Plus she blames her little sister for absolutely everything.

I guess I must be crazy. I teach 4 year olds and for the most part I love it. I think it's different when they are your own for sure though. DS is only 18 months so we will see in a few years how I feel about my own 4 year old.
nitecheese , totally out of control sweet tooth here too. Easter candy was both a blessing and a curse. I've had brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts about every other day the past few months. Now I want cinnamon buns soon.
Omg my sweet tooth is beyond out of control. Fruit does not even taste sweet to me any more. All I want is all the sugar all the time. Last night DH and I were eating chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and I was enjoying how sweet the cookie dough was. It made me realize I have a serious problem. I have to control myself at the grocery store things like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Cookie Crisp are screaming my name. I have never enjoyed that extreme sweetness before. Hi my name is 2dogs2kids and I am addicted to anything sickenly sweet.
My realization that I might have a problem came when I actually kind of enjoyed the glucose drink :/

vlinder seriously, you're not alone! The 1 hour one was like drinking orange soda. The 3 hour one I didn't enjoy quite so much so I guess I do have a limit.
You guys are killing me with this sweet tooth talk! I have such a sweet tooth (before pregnancy too) but since I have GD (sort of) I have to have some level of control!
My parents are currently on their way to our house. I'm am beyond excited! My mom's birthday was Monday and my dad's birthday is tomorrow (60th) so we have fun plans for dinner. This morning DD said "Nannie and Papa here yet?" I said no not yet, but they are in the car. She said "I want them here right now". Me too kid, me too!

4 is by far my favorite age so far, but I've always enjoyed 4 year olds.....I can deal with the attitude.
Oh gosh, I have the worst sweet tooth not pregnant so it has only gotten worse being pregnant. When someone says something is too sweet or too rich, I can usually eat a full serving then want more. I want something sweet after every meal at this point.

My sweet tooth is why I gained 50 pounds with my first pregnancy... IDK what my excuse is this time?!
sandandsea, I agree - I do love 4! She's funny, capable, and like interacting with a real human (you know what I mean)... but the level of cocky sass sometimes just knocks me right off my feet!
txmommy14, 2 is no joke you - you are so right! I am just surprised by the unique challenges of each age... I guess i just assumed there'd come a time when kids were just compliant and easy. HA!
2dogs2kids, I think when you are teaching, there is always someone who thinks you are crazy for loving your age group. I teach 8th grade, and people are constantly asking me how I can stand 13/14 year olds. I enjoy them so much! The kindergarten teachers and I always say we could never ever do each other's jobs.
Add me to the newly acquired sweet tooth group. I was purely a salt lover. I could have a gallon of ice cream in my freezer for months without even thinking about it (but put leftover pasta in the fridge or a plate of fries in front of me, forget it). I knew something weird was happening when I went to brunch with a friend and ordered the "special" french toast. They take a big cinnamon roll (frosting and all), dip it in egg and cook it, then smother it in butter and syrup. I would normally be totally disgusted by even the idea of that, but I ate the entire thing. So good. So weird.
