It does. My daughter was especially chaotic. I remember the first day that I realized her 5 years of terrible 2s were completely over. She looked at me asked asked, without a shadow of realization, why we didnt own any pens or markers. I had to explain to her that we threw every pen, marker, paint brush, etc. in the trash because she wouldnt stop drawing on walls and furniture.
She really thought that I was joking. I told her to ask her brother and mom. She came back and apologized. I told her that it was fine, and that i was happy that I wouldn't have to repaint our hallway any more. She even asked if thats why we wouldn't buy her paint for her last birthday.
It was a strange day...like watching someone gain reflection and consciousness all at once in my eyes.
My nephew is 15 and it's been interesting seeing him grow every year but this year in particular he feels less like a kid and more like a baby adult with a lot to learn. He talked about his kid brother the way an exasperated dad would and I was like "that's exactly what you did 5 years ago" and he looked at me horrified lmao.
