Everyone's Alive!


I made it through my first day alone with 3 kiddos. The morning wasn't really too hectic because of the staggered awakenings! Leah is first up at 7. Davis woke up next at 7:45 and I woke Emma up at 8:00. It helps so much that I can tell Davis to go get dressed, brush teeth, etc. Leah can do it also, for the most part but needs some assistance.

I get everyone loaded into the car only to find out my seat won't move forward so I can't reach the gas pedal. I ran inside and grabbed Emma's gigantic blanket and stuffed it behind my back. Smart thinking mommy because if she gets cranky I can hand her a piece in the back seat!

We ran some errands came back here and had lunch. Emma ate a ton of rice and cheerios. I tried to get her to eat mangos and cheese but no luck. She took a look at my almond butter sandwich and was reaching for it so I gave her half and she ate it! Eating for Emma is an all day affair. She sits in this high chair quiet as can be stuffing her face!

Here she is eating the rice and cheerios.

Now she eyed my sandwich and is still eating.

The rest of the day was uneventful. Leah and Davis were wild while Emma tried to nap. They decided to get on ride around toys and race up and down the hall. Sounds like fun right, unless you know Emma's room is at the end of the hall they were flying down.

My mom made a huge mistake teaching Davis her phone number. He randomly picks up the phone all day and calls her! The reasoning could be as minor as he saw something funny on a commercial. Today, I snapped a picture of calling her.


We went to Milon's parents house for dinner. Emma was shy and clingy in new surroundings and new people. I am glad to know she has gotten comfortable with our house and me! I have learned to save my wash folding for when she is awake. It's a perfect way to sit on the floor with her while she plays and get something done! Maybe I will have to try cleaning my floors next!

Well, one day down and four more to go! Hopefully, we will all be alive and well at the end of the week!
