And success is...

For a mother of three, success: when they're all sleeping at the same time.

We've transitioned Big Guy into Peanuts room, as a preparation for our big move {they will share a room}, so during nap time {which for Peanut is rare}, she sleeps on her napmat {used for school}. For Big Guy, he's on a mattress in her room, and loves his new found freedom. He is our obedient, tender-hearted child {not that our other two are not}, but if you look at him and frown, after he's gotten out of bed, he'll cry and get back in bed saying, "sorry, mommy." Funny kid.

And the youngest of the trio seems to nap all the time. She is currently running a eat-wake-sleep routine every 2.5 hours, so I won't complain! Good little baby girl! A sweet addition to our household!


 
And you might ask... what does mom do when they nap.... absolutely NOTHING;-)

We don't ALWAYS play in the mud...

 So I noticed a re-occurring theme for our outdoor play and it seems to be MUD. Now I'm not sure if this is a lack of things to do in the front yard {they do have a huge swing set, riding toys, shovels, etc} or if its just my laziness as a mother to redirect their play and to stay out of the mud, when really, it occupies them for hours... not joking, literally hours! So I let them play. I figure its only a matter of weeks before we move into a neighborhood where there will be less mud and lets be honest, it makes us look a little redneck when their tromping around with plastic cups, dirty faces and muddy hands! But for now we play in the mud!

   

Because the weather is warming up, we've been swimming in our pool now, and it really tends to be muddy water at the end the the day, so its not unlike the puddle Big Guy is squatting in above... it just makes me feel better as a mom that it all started out clear ;-)

 

 

 

Not a lot to do but nap!
