I seriously had that with my son, at two he was seraphic(all hail the chorus of angel song), napped when I wanted him to, was quiet at the grocery, stayed clean, played nice, smiled all the time, but as soon as the last bite of cake was finished on his third birthday, out it came…the spawn from deep within the darkened corners.
His new best friend was the Scream(and since his speech had stopped shortly after one, and did not begin until later that year, all I got were grunts and screams), and his playmate was Meltdown. He lined up his toys in a certain order, and Lord save you if you fell over even one and knocked it out of order.
He didn’t hit or bite(thank goodness), but screamed and flailed about like nobody’s business.
Later that year when I enrolled him in a special school to help him, they taught him(and I) how to expand on our limited ASL, and then he learned to talk again, which meant that now I got to carry him around screaming, “Help,” with folks not understanding that that was ALL HE WAS GOING TO SAY THAT DAY.
Imagine going past the pickles in grocery, and instead of saying even, “I want,” he says, “HELP! HELP MEEEEEEEEE!” Too bad ‘Funniest Home Movies’ wasn’t following me that day.

He’s nine now(*wipes away tears, wondering where the time has gone*), and while no picnic, it makes me giggle to remember myself back then dealing with his three year self.

Thank you for sharing and sending me back on a trip down memory lane.

  What a divine comment! Thank you for taking me on that trip down memory lane – nothing like time to soften the edges and make even out worst days seem almost funny.

    How very true, and you are very welcome. You share so much with us, and for what I perceive as so very little in return. I enjoy reading(even if I have too much going in my life to always reply). So thank you for letting us glimpse into your wonderful life with your truly glorious family.
    
    BTW, one of my friends has printed out your post regarding the now infamous “Strawberry ********* Shortcake” commentary about travel, and reads it before taking her younger children out on any long car trips. Says it keeps her grounded.
