There was an old woman…
Who lived in a townhouse.
She had so many children,
she didn’t know what to do!
Ok, so maybe I’m not old, and 3 is not really “so many” children, but sometimes it does feel like it!
And its not so much that I don’t know what to do, its more like I just don’t want to do it!
The kids are getting weirder, and I am just tired. The ‘almost 4’ year old is such a bully to the 2 year old, but such a wonderful big brother to the baby…
The 2 year old totally adores the ‘almost 4’ year old, and wants to pull the baby apart limb by limb…
The baby does not want to miss out any of the ‘good times’ that we’re having… When nursing he always pops up his head to look at his brothers and laugh, when putting him to sleep he stretches out his body so he can see if anyone else is around!
My husband is working from home today (and yesterday) and its nice that I am not totally alone, but here is the thing about having him home…
He spends the day in his office and we really don’t see him, but the kids know he’s there so the behave differently… if I say something that the ‘almost 4’ year old does not like, he responds with “I am going to daddy!” And it would be nice to get rid of him except that daddy is busy and the door is closed so he ends up walking around upstairs without supervision… and I am just to tired to go get him.
I am typing with the baby, he loves to play with the keyboard, so its type – move baby hand away – type – move baby hand away – erase – type – type – move baby mouth away – erase – type – pick up baby, give him kiss – type – wisper sweet nothings in baby ear – type – move baby hand away…
Here is the oddest thing… I feel like I can have more kids! Obviously not any time soon, but I can do it again… the vomiting, the nausea, the heartburn, the swollen limbs, the screaming newborn, the sleepless nights… You know its all worth it to get those free samples and ‘free’ portraits that they send to new moms! 
The ‘almost 4’ year old is a challenge to keep up with for the past few days. Although he needs the least attention, he does seem to get into the most trouble… He is starting school in a month, so I think that he may be a little nervous about that. Yesterday I was measuring something and he said to me that it was “2 and a half inches”... that was cute… “how do you know about inches?” I asked… “I know” he confidently told me.
My 2 year old seems perfect… perfectly cute, with his new word everyday, with his little sentences, with his little happy dances, with is cute “mommy, yaa, mommy”... I would say he is my favourite these days! Take that middle child syndrome!!
