I kept telling him;
"When I finish feeding your sister in 15 minutes, we'll have lunch."
"Get luuuunch"
"15 minutes"
"Get luuunch"
"14 minutes"
"Get luuunch"
"When I finish feeding your sister in 10 minutes, we'll have lunch."
"Get luuunch"
"What did I tell you?"

I have always said, 3's were worse than 2's, hands down. My oldest, is the son that gave me a run for my money.
It's a big developmental change for kids. I have had trouble with the time out method, trying to tend to the other two, who find it like a spectator show, and trying to get them to not, and get the one who is beyond consolable to sit there, it just wasn't a method I really could ever get a handle on.
My three are school aged now. My oldest, is still the one prone to meltdowns that are longer than the others. As he is growing older, he's less and less apt to act out. He's a really friendly, intelligent, witty young man. Gets along great with his peers and sure, he and I butt heads more than myself and my other two, but have faith, this too, shall pass.
Maybe, your son is just high strung? It's tough, being in the middle, for many.
