Terrible....Threes?

So I've always heard of the terrible twos, but we lucked out and really weren't affected by them. Well....let me tell you. We have entered into the terrible threes. It is not pretty. There is a lot of crying, a lot of time outs, a few swats on the bottom, and every once in a while, it is off to bed early. It is like a switch has flipped in my sweet little boy, and it makes me so sad. We went overnight from this....


To this....

I would never wish this precious time away, but I do hope that the temper and mood swings pass quickly.
