...going from two to three children is easy is a LIAR. During my pregnancy, I was told that going from one to two children is the hardest transition as a parent. And that adding one more, for a total of three, to the mix is no big deal because you've already got the routine of multiple children down. Whoever said that needs. To. Be. Slapped.
For those of there out there that do not already have three children, hear me NOW. It is harder going from two to three, than one to two. Unless one or two of your children is older than 12. Or unless one or two of your children are in a coma. Then, you don't have to constantly worry about what one, or both are getting into around the house. Or out in the backyard.
Example #1:
The kids asked if they could "play" in the backyard. 5 minutes later, they looked like this because they were taking turns dumping dirt over eachother's heads.

Alivia was supposed to be "taking a nap." She decided that naps were soooooo yesterday, and instead opened a brand new tube of Desitin and painted herself, the walls and the carpet with it. Then she put on her lavender hat to complete her look. She is obsessed with lotions, shampoo, pretty much anything semi-liquid. She is also obsessed with smearing it all over herself and my carpet.

Wasn't it you Kathy who wondered if my children were always clean and perfect, because of the pictures I posted on MySpace? Well, here's the truth. My children would much rather pretend they are orphans....and I'm too busy walking around with a baby attached to my boob to do anything to stop them. They SOOOOO have my number right now.

You were LIED to going from 2 to 3 is the HARDEST. This is coming from a mother of 5. It is hard to transition from the "man to man" to the "zone defense" as my hubby calls it. You are OUT NUMBERED. And very soon they will relize it. SORRY. Good luck. Just know that there others out here that share your pain.
Yah, sorry sista...it's way hard! But it does get better..eventually...so they tell me...I'm. Still. Waiting.
LMBO about the pics though! It's funny for us, but I am sure you were seeing red!
I love my niecey! *MUAH*
Oh my gosh I had that EXACT conversation with my Mom when Kainoa was born. I mean EXACT! She responded by saying "WHOOOOO told you that...because it CERTAINLY wasn't me!!"
I don't know who started that rumor, but they do need to be shot.
I love the first picture of Livie with her hat on. God she's cute. How long did she have to soak in nail polish remover to get that stuff off???
your kids are ADORABLE.
OMgosh. So can relate. Two to three just about took any amount of sanity I had left. I initially wanted four. HAIL no.
My daughter is all about the "pretty" things too. I found half a bottle of lotion squirted in the tub yesterday along with a whole bottle of aloe vera gel. She likes the iridescent colors of the lotion, looking all swirly in the bottom of the tub. Urgh.
Stopped in by way of Mama Kat.
LOL! Sooooo glad it's not just mine...
And if going to three is harder than going to two, well, then you just talked me out of number three. If, IF, I was leaning that way... I'm not saying I was... But, IF... Do you hear that Mister and Princess Avery... IF!!!!!
Been there with Butt Paste and it DOESN'T come out of rugs. FYI.
