More strange behaviour from Yx

Attributing these peculiarities to the "3.5 year old toddler syndrome":

- Climbing onto the top of our sofa

- Refusing to nap, refusing to sleep, refusing to wake up

- Acting like a baby - Crawls on the floor and makes baby noises for 15-20 mins

- Loses interest in reading; more excited to mimic teaching and marking

- Insists on carrying funny items outside, for example:

A swimming float

.... and a paintbrush

The reason behind Yx's recent strange behaviour

For many weeks now, we observed that Yx has been acting and behaving rather strangely from her old self:

- Asked to play in an indoor playground, and to add she didn't ask for us to join her and was perfectly comfortable in our absence!
- Suddenly disliked going to sch to the extent she'd wail and refuse to change into her uniform... (but she's ok once she's in class)
- Would intentionally make a mess to test our reaction
- Drinks half the milk she used to
- More physically active and enjoys playing with other children.

Upon some learning, the bizarre changes in a 3 and a half year old toddler could be attributed to a Disequilibrium Stage.

This article also explains what changes the toddler could go through:
