Adjusting to three kids has been pretty challenging. The first 3 months were pretty crappy. Jonathan was not the chill baby I remember Kevin and Kherington being. That stacked with moving to a new country, going from 1 to 3 kids (in Belgium Kherington was in school, but she isn't here), and Ryan being in busy season January - April working late nights and most weekends made for the the prefect storm. Someone told me she is pregnant with her third and all I could think is I don't wish that on anyone. Two, easy. Three, just don't do it. So was my mindset for the first 3 months. Then just after Jonathan turned 3 months, everything became easier. He is now much calmer. He still eats every 3 hours which I'm trying to space out to 4. He just lost the crying (for the most part). It makes such a huge difference.
Anyways, through this, we have tried to keep doing fun things with the kids. Painting was one of Kherington's coupon activities. Both kids love to help in the kitchen and usually make sure they are dressed up in some form to help. Plus we try to get out so I don't go crazy with the lack of a yard.

It's so hard to have so many different ages and stages in a family. It gets better though, hang in there!
