Everyone has been saying how daring I am for going out with my kids... three of them... on my own. Here's my opinion... So far I think that Ada's been my hardest. She was a very easy baby, but just the whole getting used to being a mom instead of a student or working was an adjustment for me. Sammy was an easy baby, hard toddler, but easy baby... that wasn't a hard adjustment. Evelyn's an easy baby... not a hard adjustment... my house is messier, but I expected that both because of the baby but also because of the fact that Ada and Sammy are really starting to make believe together which equals a bigger mess.
So honestly, I don't feel like have more children has been harder... I feel like doing things for the first time is harder... (Potty training Ada, hard. Dealing with not being able to breastfeed (also with Ada even though the other two haven't really worked out either), hard the first time... easier to accept with the other two times. Learning how to discipline our kids, experimenting with Ada first... hard... easier with Sammy because we've already been through it with Ada.) Poor Ada. Now I know what my parents meant when they told my oldest sister that she was their guinea pig... Ada gets put through the hoops on everything... and I expect more from her because she's older and understands more than Sammy or Evelyn...

I feel the same way for my poor Ellen. I think that Trevor was my hardest adjustment, but I really do feel sorry for my Ella Bell. She has it way harder than the boys because we are always learning on her. I have always thought that God must send special spirits to be the oldest.
So glad "three" is going well!!!
I feel the same way with Emma - I am way to hard on her and she is the gueine pig for all the tests!
