    But I don’t ever look that cute when I have PMS. Maybe it has to do with the veins popping out of my neck and my frothing mouth being open and screaming. Maybe.

  2. chickadee says:

    i wondered what it was called. i have one at my house too!

  3. jen elslager says:

    Ah yes, 3 (yo) Moping Syndrome. I remember it well…

  4. Julie says:

    My husband says that I have UMS - Ugly Mood Swings.

  5. Happy Geek says:

    Well, you know, being on the water, with your own chair and umbrella, if it’s not YOUR idea, then it really sucks.

  6. Stephanie says:

    Hey, I got a little boy named Sean that can do that very same pose.:)

  7. Krista says:

    And to think this is what he looks like when it seems he’s in the middle of a fun outing… ;)
    I got some squash faces for ya, come look!

  8. Jeana says:

    Oh, now that’s funny!

  9. Veronica says:

    I hear you, sister.

  10. daisyaday says:

    Oh, yes! I so remember! In fact I have a fifteen year old and she hasn’t lost that look. It’s just way cuter on your little guy. Maybe because he’s not mine.

  11. Carol Snider says:

    ABS — Adorable but sulky. Mostly adorable!

  12. Lotus Carroll says:

    What would you take for that… Mope-trin?

    Ahhhh…sorry.

    Like most little boys - adorable even when angry.
    :-)

  13. Hanlie says:

    I love the way their whole bodies reflect their feelings at that age!

  14. Donna says:

    That’s the sweetest-looking pout I’ve ever seen!

  15. Misslionheart says:

    Spud is coming up to this stage. He’ll have 3MS on Sunday….

  16. Shalee says:

    So that’s what I’m going through… I thought it was peri-menopause, but really it’s 30’s-MS, a rare, but strong grownup strain of the 3MS condition.

    Thanks, Dr. AM!

  17. Kathy/ Lessons from the Laundry says:

    Oh the drama. Great picture to show at his wedding.

  18. cce says:

    What’s the pout about? Looks like the photo was taken at Typhoon Lagoon or something, ready to white water raft the rapid in Montana? I love that kids can find a reason to grumble at the most outrageously wonderful times. Their must be some background here we aren’t getting.

  19. MotherPie says:

    Sitting in Santa Fe at 40 degrees this morning, I just think he looks cold! Still boating in the DFW area, huh? I was sweating through a TCU game two weeks ago… Like how you are doing the watermarks…

  20. Antique Mommy says:

    cce, are you kidding me? There’s no back story. 3YOs don’t need a reason to pout. It’s their perrogative.

  21. YewNorkBabe says:

    Oh My Land! That’s exactly how I feel today too.

  22. jouette says:

    *snort* omg, i’m loving that. great catch with the camera, i must say … i usually get an even more straight-on peeved look when they think i’m photographing their 3MS, lol!

  23. Kelly @ Love Well says:

    No eye contact.

    Arms crossed.

    Lip out.

    Yep, looks familiar. My three-year-old turns four next week. Do you think it will magically go away?!?

  24. sue @ praise and coffee says:

    That is great!!

  25. Cheryl says:

    Oh, Antique Mommy…your blog is always good for a giggle! Thank you for sharing your sweet (even while pouting) little boy with us!

  26. Sally says:

    My two teenage daughters still have that look when they don’t get the response from me that they were looking for. Life is rough……..

  27. bee says:

    You crack me up!

  28. wordgirl says:

    Oh my gosh! Could he get that lip to curl any more than it already is? I doubt it!

  29. Betty G. says:

    Great shot! Since Halloween is coming up - tell him that Pirates do NOT pout. Maybe that will help. (Did you get his costume made??)

  30. Erin says:

    My husband’s college roommates used to tell him that he got PMS, also known as “Pissy Mikey Syndrome.” And boy, they sure were right! :)

  31. Linda says:

    Even when he pouts…what a cutie!

  32. An Iowa Mom says:

    Oh I am soooo glad I have a label to put on my pouty kids now … that somehow seems to justify it for me. :)

  33. Kellan says:

    I dunno - I do an awful lot of pouting. What a cute picture!!!

  34. Sharyn says:

    Clearly he’s grumping in anticipation of the day when he tries to look tough and the first adjective that springs to mind is “adorable.”

  35. Twisted Cinderella says:

    what a cute little pout!

  36. midlife mommy says:

    Oh my heavens. Been there, more often than I can say. To hear my daughter tell it, or scream/pout/cry it, life is very hard.

  37. Becky says:

    3MS…LMAO!!! Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.

  38. MamaLady says:

    5MS comes with lots and lots of loud griping, complaining, b&c’ing along with the pouting.
    Ask me how I know? Just take my word for it. I just know.
