So my 3 year old and 18 month old are both

begging me to pick them up all day long. Please tell me this is a phase, because my back can't handle it and someone is always crying because I can only hold one at a time!!!

They are both normally very independent and that they want to do everything without help and suddenly it's "uppies uppies uppies" and whining all day.

My DD who is about to turn 3 no longer brushes her teeth by herself, she won't go to the potty by herself (she's not having accidents, but makes me come with her), won't get dressed by herself, etc. She used to demand to do all these things by herself for the last few months, now I have to force her to do them. ANyone else go through this at these ages?

Grace is going through a 'baby"phase right now too but I think its due to all the attention Jack gets. She has all these fears too lately. She was never afraid of dogs or other animals and now she is. I think its just a stage.
