I just sort of stopped doing it after awhile. You know, only bathing them if ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. They've lived. <br /><br />You really are in the hardest time. Okay, I know I haven't experienced the teen years yet, with these three kids, spaced the way they are. But I do think you're on the cusp of a better time... and I can tell you are laying such a good foundation for that better time—I mean, if they already have regular times of playing well together?! In two years it will be SUCH a different story, stress-wise. <br /><br />But I know that two years is a long time, when you're dealing with the endless need, the endless demands. It's such a high level of discomfort, sustained for so long. At least from my perspective. But you're also so good at teasing out what's wonderful about this time... those moments of connection while a small person sits on the potty, the lesson learned from the different paths to painting a lantern. I *loved* your astute description of the difficulty of trying to not paint like a grown-up, who always has to have "a point."Sarah Parkhttp://sarahdunningpark.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700416703444995678.post-91259964427192807432012-04-19T07:41:08.886-04:002012-04-19T07:41:08.886-04:00I enjoyed this so much.
