Today felt like a crash course in parenting 2 kids. Both kids went to daycare (Maddy's is an am program before the bus picks her up for school, and Reed started at a home-based center) and Ray had to leave before the sun rose.
Things I Learned:
1. Sometimes 5 year olds will not eat anything you offer.
2. Sometimes the happiest babies wake up MAD, especially on "school" days.
2. Feeding, dressing, packing, and moving 3 people out the front door at a specified time should be an Olympic sport.
4. Sometimes all of these activities make someone so tired that they no longer know how to count. (See, my numbering above.)
5. Having a minivan, makes everything just a little easier.
You heard right, we had to trade in our lease. A lease with 2 kids is like shoveling the day before a snowstorm. After wheeling and dealing, we got into a really comfortable, really affordable minivan. The 23-year-old me is probably sobbing outside of the mall chewing gum, but the 31-year-old me is ready to take on every errand, activity, and playdate thrown my way. (I am also ready to just sit down and take a nap in it, but hey that's pretty cool too.)
