Hyperbole

I've been a parent for three years now, and it's been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. It's hard to believe now that he's three, but here we are. He is truly a light – loving to his parents and his little sister, polite, well-behaved in public, articulate, and most surprisingly of all reasonable. He can be reasoned out of almost any misbehavior or meltdown. What's more, he's able to articulate clearly to us what he's trying to do when he "misbehaves" and why he's troubled when he "melts down." I never knew this could happen by three (really, by two-and-one-half for him) but I thank God every day that my son is this kind of kid. I hope things turn out as well with my daughter – I guess the chances are good since she has the same parents...
