Natalie spent the night with Gram last night. She has the best time over there. She has tea parties, entertains herself with the treasure box, draws with Grandad, occupies herself with the vacuum cleaner, watches football and plays the Wii with Gram. She gets as much or as little attention as she desires. She does not throw fits, she does not act out. She is just a sweet, peaceful, loving little girl. (Which is how she always is, right?)
How is it that the evening, bedtime and the morning routine can go so easy with only 2 children? I am superwoman with only 2 kids! When my mom takes just ONE child, it does not matter which one, I can get anything done! Everything is exponentially easier. There is more cooperation, less quarrelling, less fits, less crying and less negative behavior to get attention. There is just something about throwing the 3rd child in the mix that spins peace into chaos...but I wouldn't trade my chaos for anything else.
