Josh said he would have paid to watch me juggle all that;) He pictured me feeding Cai while washing Zeke's hair in the bathtub all at once. Although I'm sure it can be done I was not brave enough to try that one yet. Luckily, Cai is a GREAT baby and can hold off pretty well. I got the kids bathed and dressed and all ready for bed then I stuck them in an "extended" book time so I could feed Cai=) I told them it was going to be a little crazy for mommy to get used to having 3 kids to take care of at one time so "please be patient with mommy".
Of course Cai decided to take his time eating his dinner. The kids had such a long book time that they got to read ALL their library books and then some. After a while Areyna came in and asked "What's next?" They obeyed well as I instructed them from my "feeding throne" on the last minute stuff that needed to be done in order to get them in bed.
So, I still have a lot to learn but I'm working on it. I still think it's the easiest transition out of all 3 of the kids. We'll see how a whole weekend goes when Josh leaves for a youth retreat later on this month.

Holy cow, my Arwen takes FOREVER to eat!! Sheesh. It drives me nuts sometimes, but I remind myself that the longer she takes the more time it's just Mommy and Baby! :)
Great job!!! You'll have it down in NO time!
Tasha! Sounds like you handled being alone very well. Sounds like it was a pretty sweet juggling act by an awesome mom!
Way to go girl! I had no doubts though =)
