Parents were right. The transition from 2 to 3 is easier than the transition from 1 to 2. One of the main reasons our transition is easier is probably because the older two are significantly older than baby. When Charlotte was born, Lucas was still a baby (just turned 19 months old). The two older kids have done a great job with helping out when necessary and keeping baby entertained (enough) when I'm busy cleaning or prepping dinner. It's also been a decent transition since we still have two adults at home. Starting Monday, I'm on my own with at least three kids to juggle (including dance practice, after school pick up, etc.). We'll see how that goes.
What kids usually do for a while after school
The new shopping normal
One day, we'll have to figure out how to shop at Costco with three kids... as for now, I think I'll do most of my grocery shopping when the kids are at school.
Trying to figure out how to take her weekly pictures
They love to look at her when they're back from school
Shark head
She's turned into a mini replica of baby Charlotte (with no hair)
Aahhh
We're trying to give each kid some special time. Since Lucas gets out of school early on Wednesday, I'm trying to have some special Lucas time with him without sisters around.
He wanted a banana split sundae after school
Special time for big kids: CDM
Picnic lunch and play at the park
Both kids are really into Pokemon. Lucas wanted to have a picnic lunch at the park. Since the weather's nice again, we decided to try it out. Both kids had a blast! It works for us since packing a lunch for them is pretty cheap and entertainment at the park is free. We can maybe make this into a weekly thing.
Pokemon lovers
Wish me luck on Monday when it's just me and three kids.
