Today in the car...

Parker: Mommy? When can I be thwee?

Madelyn: Parker you are four.

Parker: No! (getting irritated) When will I be THWEE?

Me: Parker, honey, you were three last year, this year you are four.

Madelyn: Yeah, you can never be three again.

Parker: NO NO NO! Not thwee...fah fah fah fah fah fah....!!!!!

Me: Free?

Parker: Yes, when will I be fwee (suddenly thwee sounds like fwee!)?

Me: You are free.

Parker: No I am NOT fwee!

Me: Well, what keeps you from being free? (no beat is skipped for his response, it comes immediately....with anguish and despair)

Parker: YOU ARE!!!!! (there is a long pause as his breathing slows down) You ALWAYS tell me what to do!!!! I'm not fwee!


What is he learning at school!?!?!?! This is definitely premature rebellion. Let the games begin!!!!! This is going to be a fun one.

Hilarious! When are you going to stop opressing that poor kid?!

I am not sure what is worse, thinking he is regressing in age or displaying defiant behavior. You need to set that boy fwee. Are you sure he didn't just want to get out of his carseat? That'll get any kid going.
