    Oh sure, when a 3 year old does it it’s cute, but when WE do it, it’s “dissociative identity disorder.”

    My <2 year old scared the shit out of me when he started doing voices for his stuffed animals. Nothing gets you out of bed faster than hearing your kid say over the baby monitor, “night night,” and then a different voice say, “night night baby.”

      Or yourself! You are the worst offender at stealing your own personalities!

    I was at the convenient care clinic this morning, and a girl who couldn’t have been more than 18 months old, saw a boy who was about her age and said, “a baby! Hi, baby!”

      Not really. By 3 most kids have a solid fluent vocabulary of a thousand words or so. And most importantly, they never, ever, ever shut up.

      My 3 yo told me tonight when I had her pacifier that it wasn’t for me, only for her and her little brother not mommy and daddy. Then I said what about the dog? And she told me the dog doesn’t like a paci because she doesn’t have big lips.

      WTF kid. True but wtf.

      Aww. Bless your innocent heart. They never shut up.

      Also there’s such a huge difference between 3 years and zero days versus 3 years and 10 months for example. They’re just vastly different humans from a cognitive and vocabulary perspective.

      By 3, my daughter was having full conversations. She made plenty of minor mistakes, but was using full adult like sentences. She was often more quiet around other people, but in private, she wouldn’t shut up.

      I think my daughter even used similar sentences, she still has a tendency to chatter to herself, when alone.

      When my daughter was this age, she would talk to herself like this. Not these exact words, but very similar.
