This is what I heard the other night coming from the kids bathroom. It seems that my 3 year old did not like something my 5 year old did and this was the worst thing she could think of to say. It amazes me everyday as I watch my 3 daughters grow up the milestones they make. Two months ago I would never have heard name calling from my 3 year old. It amazes me morethat she would be so mad as to string together this sentence.
Let me break it down if you will. Being called a baby has become a very huge insult among the kids at their school. Being called a butt is the next step up. However, for her to string the words together as an insult was both a huge proud moment for her development, and a horrific moment as I realized that this was just the first of many arguments between them. They love each other, but several times a day there is a fight.
Before the name calling incident there was another where the 3 year old tackled the 5 year old and proceeded to hammer fist her in the face. Again there is the dilemma. With my background in martial arts and MMA I was amazed at the raw talent and instinct she showed and utterly horrified at the viciousness of the attack.
I guess I know what the teen years are going to be like.
