Three kids is so easy!

I know people with one child that think it's soooo hard. I don't begrudge them that belief. They are wrong, but I don't begrudge them. It's all a matter of perspective. Those same people will have another child, think handling two children at the same time is an unrivaled feat, and scoff at all those parents of one child have it soooo easy.

This morning, Helen had surgery (a second set of ear tubes and an adenoidectomy) so I had to take her to the surgery center at 5:30am. Cort stayed home to get Charlie, Joseph, and Will off to school. Cort and I were exchanging emails while I was in the waiting room and Helen was in surgery. From the timing of the emails, I could tell that he had managed to get all three boys up, dressed and ready, and on the way to school in less than half an hour. I thought that was pretty good, so I commented on it. Cort's answer? "Three kids is easy."

I agree. It is.
