      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.

      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.
