The one thing about having three kids that is most difficult from a logistical point of view is leaving the house. It is sometimes impossible to get out the door and off to where you need to be on time. To kids it is always a big surprise, “What? We are leaving now?” The thing about having three is that one kid can get lost in the shuffle. When it was just Bella and Mady, I had Bella follow me around while I got Mady ready to go out the door—there were no loose ends. After Sophia came into the picture, it became more and more difficult to keep track of the other two as I took care of Sophia. One common scenario would begin with me getting Sophia’s shoes and coat on and me asking the other two girls to get their shoes and coats on. It is very difficult to watch what each child is doing at this moment and because of this things go wrong. Invariably, as I collected the other two girls and made my way for the door, I would notice that one of the girls had used this brief window of unsupervised time become unready. Instead of seeing a child ready to go, many times I looked down only to see a girl in a princess dress-up gown, or a naked girl or a girl that has just poured juiced all over themselves.
