Whole new league!

Almost everyday I go out, someone says, "How do you do three kids?" I guess being the oldest of three, I never thought that it was that big of a deal. I had wanted at least three but never gave any thought on whether it would be harder and that I would get so many remarks!
I love having three. I am more organized, I plan more, I have to stay calm more and I think I have more patience. (Now if there are those that would disagree, please let me live in my own world, I like having this confidence!) Now that I've had time to be a mom to three, I almost think it's easier than two. Someone always has a friend. Michelle and Carolyn can play for hours with each other and not get bored. When Michelle goes to Kindergarten next year, Carolyn will have Leah to play with. I am glad that they have choices! I loved having siblings, maybe not at the time but looking back anyway! They played dress up, I played cars, we all played together.
I cant imagine having only two kids now that I have three and I am so thankful to have them all. I am glad that people think I'm super mom because I am outnumbered. Hey, I've been outnumbered since the day I had kids. I love being a mom, even when I want to go into witness relocation and change my name. I don't know about having more kids right now, but I'm glad that I'm one of the few that has many children, I think it has helped me grow as a person and I have learned to love like I never thought I could!
