downside of having a huge kid

DS will be 2 in a few weeks. However, he's a giant, and could definitely pass for an older 3. I had him out yesterday at the dentist and was getting dirty looks for his behavior in the waiting room (getting into things, like a normal ONE year old), and because I needed to change his diaper, and because they couldn't understand a lot of what he said. People expect him to act like he's 3 because he looks like he's 3. Um, no. Also, this was a pediatric dentist. WTH. The staff was great. They had his information, including DOB, and knew he was actually behaving really well for his age. But the waiting room observers. Ugh. I hate people sometimes.

Re: downside of having a huge kid
Before I had kids I would sometimes side-eye moms in a Target checkout line with kids who were shrieking or doing typical toddler stuff and moms were just not reacting. Now, having a 'very animated' DD1 and another DD to tote around I AM one of those moms who doesn't react most of the time, because really, what can you do? Kids will be kids...
