My ds was this way at 3, especially the 'take charge' part; I rarely met a kid on the playground who was as dynamic. I distinctly remember meeting a 3 y.old girl who stood her ground around him. Her parents were so amazed there was another toddler who could deal with her - and vice versa. It was a one-time playground encounter, but stands out in my memory.
Dd almost 3 seems to be this way too - ballet is her major thing, but also wants to be in the thick of things no matter what we are doing: cooking, legos, games (which she needs help with but still wants to play). I had to talk her down from 'needing' a violin around 18 months after seeing her cousins play - it took days to get her to stop mentioning it. I just figured no way was that going to work out at that age, but maybe at 4 or 5. I think of her as being about like a 4 or 5 year old; people comment the same or guess her age as around 4. She is big so that her behavior/vocab. doesn't stand out too much until someone asks her age.
Sings at the top of her lungs, starts with regular songs and just takes them to a new level with funny jokes and ridiculous lyrics.
She is extremely bossy. And, typical for her age, very possessive right now. We are having daily fights between ds8 and her now because she thinks she owns the world, so I'd love some advice on that!
