My Louie is 4 and I totally love him. If he does get cantankerous when he is 5 or 6, I think I can deal with it. Louie so wants to be loved and I try my best to understand him moods now, so now that I have read about the "Hot 3s," I think I will be able to get through whatever storms he may offer, at least I will try to understand him the best I can. Right now I will send out positive waves that Louie will be a mellow guy at 6-12 years. Fingers crossed!
