I'm confused. Shouldn't it be 156?
I think the idea is that your three year old is going to be a very different four year old, who again was different to who they were as a two year old.

Not while they are exactly three years old. There will be 52 weekends with a one year old, 52 weekends with a two year old, etc.

They're only 3.00 to 3.99 years old for 52 weeks
In 104 of those weekends, they're not 3
What's interesting though is that for me, having spent time with a baby seems to have changed some wirings retroactively. Just saw a toddler yesterday doing random things and having so much fun in the puddles, it was reeeeally cute. Good memories.
What nobody tells you though is that annoyingness and cuteness go hand in hand. As soon as they stop being annoying, they also stop being cute. It's hard to enjoy much of that cuteness because life's generally hard, loud and exhausting with a toddler. But as soon as it starts getting better, you also realize how much you miss that will never come back.
As Paul Graham said so wisely: There are only 52 weekends you will ever have with your three year old. Life is short, use it. Or at the very least, try to :)
