Super Heroes

Tessa and I love having super heroes around the house to take care of us every morning.

The transitions to 3 kids has gone surprisingly well.  I’ve showered every day since Tessa was born and we have yet to eat cold cereal for dinner.

 

Of course there are rough moments.  When Tessa was 10 days old, I woke-up one morning to find Bryce with both ears dripping fluid.  Double ear infection which had ruptured.  Ugh.  After all morning at the doctor (because I begged them to let me do Tessa’s 2 week apt even though it was early—I didn’t want to drag 3 kids back in a few days later!), we got home just in time for me to fix Caden lunch before school while holding a screaming baby who needed to eat.  Poor Bryce just laid on the couch.  I felt terrible that a double ear infection still didn’t move him up the priority list at all. 

I feel like all day long, someone needs something.  Someone needs to eat, to get dressed, to have their teeth brushed, to go to school, to take a nap, to go to time-out, to have a love, to pick up their mess, to get their shoes on, to find a lost lego...it never ends.  To say we are happy to see Chad walk in the door every night is a huge understatement.  Finally—someone to help me with the need list!

But I can’t complain.  The boys have been champs at taking care of their new sister.  Chad talked them into the name “diaper squad” and convinced them that it’s fun to take diapers to the trash.  They love to hold Tessa and I swear she saves her biggest smiles for them.
