No but I like them! Hub's cousins & daughter's friends have them so I am around them from time to time. Sweet little darlings they are!

I have two Yorkies. The male will be four years old in October. My female turned four in July. I am currently mommy to my father-in-law's Chihuahua. He is younger than my two; he just turned 3 years old. They are like having toddlers!

My tweener was the same way at that age. My little guy is a totally different kettle of fish. He relishes who & where he is at the moment.

There is a 8 & 10 year age difference between our baby girl and her 2 brothers. It's a lot like starting over. And my now middle child, who used to be the baby for 8 yrs, is having difficulty moving into the "middle" child status. Aaaah, the joys of baby syndrome and compromise. He quibbles over the smallest unfair-itys in regards to her. Sometimes, I'm not sure how to help him find the rewards that might come with stepping up to the big brother plate. Are there any? LMAO!! I KNOW, I drove my brothers bonkers ... still do. I have 2 exact temperaments butting heads...

They are like having kids.. well, maybe like having some form of "mute" kids. *snickers I've recently lost 2 dogs this year. One was our 9 yrs. old Lab and the other, ran off when the kids and I went on vacation. Hector was 8. We still have our shih tzu who turned 11 on Aug. 1st. I baked a cake and everything for the old man! Party hats and all -- hee hee! Although, at this point in his tired little life...he would probably of preferred a ..hot little bitch. *teasing

We have potty training and puberty going on at our place. Add in my peri-menopause & my DH's male menopause, well, I'm just grateful to live through some days without throwing someone through a wall!

Yes.. the age gap. It's somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one dealing with the gap thingy. It does get nerve racking. How many children do you have Copperhead? BTW Sugar, I couldn't imagine having 2 -- three year olds running around. But I guess it does help out with the play-mate/company thing. I'm the playmate. Barbie, polly pockets -- coloring. She refuses to play by herself. And when I do play with her, shes always telling me what to do and how to play. I imagine, I was a lot like that. *snickers OoooH, but then again... 2 little brains put together can lead to some really good mischief. *muwhahaa Either way, I bet you have your hands full!! *giggles

My granddaughter is 2, and has just entered the "NO!" phase. Hooray.
On the plus sides, promised rewards for later for good behavior now has just started to work.
She's adorable, of course, and can't get enough kisses and hugs.
I just got the little one her first Harley nightgown/beach coverup, and sunglasses. She looks just like her Mama T (that's me).
