I've heard two so far that just tear me up inside... "You gonna bolus me, papa?" "You dropped the PDM, papa." For any 3 year old to know these terms/phrases is just...depressing, and sad, and tears me up inside.

Lately I've become discouraged about the possibility of lowering our son's A1C further without significant life changes.

I'm wondering what folks on here with littles reasonably expect from other family members who spend time with your kids. My parents were here for my older son's 5th birthday party.
