3 times a day

How do you feed three babies at once?...not very easily and certainly very messily, but the whole process is made simpler by this handy dandy table made by Tu Tu and friends. Much friendly to my back then the three levels of ad hoc highchairs I was using. The babies love it, Violet and Jack too. It is big enough for the babies and for the big kids to sit with them.

I am rethinking the decision to place Georgia in the middle as she is a bit of a bully. Always stealing food and toys from both her brothers, no matter what she has right in front of her. So far the boys have been very good natured about it. They have become great little eaters - very adventurous. The only thing they haven't liked has been roasted red peppers with potato. Which I really didn't get because it was super yummy and mild. Oh well, I doctored it up with cayenne and salt and ate it myself. I have found it much easier (not to mention more enjoyable) to make baby food for three babies rather than for one. No more freezing the excess, as with three, there isn't any!

Jack is 3


Jack turns 3!

Some cool stuff about Jack: he runs around saying
"I love you sooo much".
He is really into animals, likes to watch Planet Earth and Life, and wants his rainforest book read to him every night. He surrounds himself with so many of his "treasures" in bed that there is hardly any room for him to sleep. He has great balance exemplified by his awesome scooter skills and with his no pedal bike. He likes to play super hero and save the day. He is a picky eater (well at least he is reluctant to try new things) - but he loves milk. He is a happy kid who makes me smile all the time (albeit sometimes an exasperated one). He loves being a big brother and is very protective of "his" babies. He likes to wear socks all the time - even to bed.
Looking toward the next year and what new quirks and traits are yet to be discovered. Happy birthday baby.
