Sometimes having more than one child feels like were traveling on an out-of-control train...preparing for a super crash. Sometimes, we parents are so busy meeting all of the requests and needs of our trio that the scenery just whizzes right on by as we travel at warp speed along this jet-fast period of time in our children's lives where, if we blink, we just might miss some absolutely amazing, never-to-be-repeated, awesome moment.
It can be such a juggling act with 3 kidlets, to make sure that everyone has some one-on-one uninterrupted time with each parent, especially when, as a parent, you can see that they are really needing that time with you.
It's often so easy to feel torn and stretched in so many ways when 3 terrific kids and a loving spouse are wanting your undivided attention.
We have simplified our lives so extremely that it gets easier to do this all the time. But one thing that is always more challenging for John and I is that we were raised without any siblings, as 'only-children', if you will. And sometimes we both still find ourselves overwhelmed with all the high levels of joy-filled noise and activity that surrounds three very active and happy children.
We feel like we are on the "Crazy Train".
Yep, it's a little out-of-control. Yep, it's crazy-fast!
But, man it is one hell of an exciting, thrilling, joyous, hysterically funny, whole-life-learning train ride!!!
And we NEVER want to get off this train!
