The kids have been in our home for two weeks now, and things are working out well. Joe's mom was in town from Thursday night through Saturday afternoon. She was a big help. She was able to keep the kids busy while we got some cleaning done. I also got a chance to sleep in on Saturday until 9:30, which felt great. Joe got to sleep in on Sunday, and now we are both feeling much better. It was pretty nice this weekend so we took the kids to the park, and for lots of walks. With this age, days go best when we can get outside. All three have a lot of energy, and really enjoying exploring outside.
Sunday we took our 2nd trip to the store as the five of us. This kids did really well. We let them each pick out a toy to start with, so they each played with their toy while we got everything we needed. Alex does not like sitting in the cart, and it always feels like a rush to get through the store, but the other two did really good!
"Big boy", and "Princess" are healthy now, and both are at "school" today! They both walked right in and took off to play with the toys there. Neither seemed to care that I was leaving. I'm glad they feel comfortable enough to trust that I will be back to get them. I have a lot of guilt about putting them in daycare all day, but I have to keep working. I've thought about bringing them to my nanny house with me, but found last week that it is just too much. I am playing around with the idea of bringing them one day a week. Then it wouldn't feel like so much for me, and then I could have a little more time with them.
At home things are running a little more smoothly. We are finding our way with the 3 kids, and every day feels a little easier. We are really loving having the kids here with us!
