I was sitting on my bed when Alyssa came up to me and asked
"Mama, what does the number three look like?"
Well, I though that was great! She's getting more interested in her numbers- yeay! So I grab a piece of paper and pen and excitedly draw a perfect little 3 for her to see. She says,
"Mom, is that really what a three looks like?"
"Yep" I say...then I show her what a 4 looks like, maybe a 5, and a random 7.
She looks at me with tears welling, then she just starts to
SOB, and SOB, & SOB!
"I don't like 3. I want to be 7. I want to be 7."
For 20 minutes she SOBs and SOBs because she is 3!
I thought I could consol her by telling her she was like me, that my age is a double 3!
NOPE...sobs even more!
Now, how do you think I felt? ;0)
HEAVEN FORBID!

life's ROUGH when you're THREE!
funny story...cute little thing!
Wow--if she's crying about being 3 now, what's her reaction going to be when she turns 40, 50, or 60? I'm sure others have shed a few tears over those milestones. Poor girl!
Too funny. I think 3 is pretty great number myself.
Oh that is cute...just wait until there is a 1 in front of that 3 and hopefully you won't be sobbing!
That gave me a good laugh today - thanks!! good luck with her in about 10 years when hormones start kicking in!!!
