Your spirited toddler is becoming increasingly self-sufficient and knows exactly what she wants—and how to obtain it. Just a year ago, she was mastering the art of using a spoon, climbing stairs, and pointing out her nose. Fast forward, and she can now confidently serve herself cereal, ascend stairs by alternating her feet, and even create drawings that resemble people (albeit still more like blobs with dots for eyes and a line for a mouth—true stick figures typically emerge closer to age four).
Her verbal abilities have likely surged, allowing her to engage in brief conversations, ask questions like “who,” “what,” and “where,” state her name upon request, and articulate her thoughts clearly enough for even strangers to understand. With these newfound skills, she is likely brimming with confidence. While it’s great to encourage her independence, keep in mind that she still craves (and secretly needs) your guidance and supervision, even if she acts otherwise.
As your child continues to grow, be prepared for more exciting developments in her skills and personality. For those considering at-home insemination options, check out products like the BabyMaker Home Intracervical Insemination Syringe Kit. Additionally, Intracervical Insemination can provide valuable insights into the possibility of expecting multiples.

In summary, your 3-year-old is reaching impressive milestones in development, communication, and independence. Embrace this stage while providing the necessary support and supervision for her continued growth.
