I think it was because it really was the beginning of them being kids and no longer babies or toddlers. Age 3 started out very rocky, and we definitely still have our ups and downs, but in general, I think things really do just get better and better. :o)Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318311170413043717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-45511329551450738352011-09-23T11:11:15.986-05:002011-09-23T11:11:15.986-05:00this really hits home for me. the funny thing is ...this really hits home for me. the funny thing is that i don't think anything of doing bath alone right now. but i won't take them anywhere by myself if i can help it. b? he'll take them anywhere by himself. he can't stay in the house all day or he'll go crazy. i definitely prefer to be there where i'm "safe". :)<br /><br />love knowing that it gets easier, though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-78397681925029785972011-09-23T06:41:19.668-05:002011-09-23T06:41:19.668-05:00I love this!

Mine are 15 months and I'm glad to hear someone say it gets easier!<br /><br />I can swing the bath thing by myself too, but it is much more, "all about the business, and not about the fun" when I do it alone. Suds, rinse, repeat. Definitely lots more fun when daddy is home!<br /><br />I still psyche myself out about taking them out together by myself-probably more than I should. But only one is walking (the other JUST now started) and neither of them are exactly swift on their toddling feet yet.<br /><br />So looking forward to more independence!Paula Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545620300368378897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-24773124974208401002011-09-22T20:28:38.037-05:002011-09-22T20:28:38.037-05:00Totally!!

I remember thinking how much easier life was then (even while juggling an infant) with them! So...now that he's at that age - I am once again thinking how much easier life can be at times.<br /><br />Sure, there are still plenty of challenges, in different ways, but I'm again amazed at how more independent he is getting, how much more he is talking, and how BIG he seems! Now...if only we could conquer potty training! ha!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144518378020653282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-47113151390661398552011-09-22T16:39:56.242-05:002011-09-22T16:39:56.242-05:00If there was an app for that....would it matter? :...If there was an app for that....would it matter? :) <br /><br />(just had to comment!!)<br /><br />I totally agree about it is easier/harder.

In many ways things ha...I am right there with you!<br /><br />In many ways things have gotten easier. Yet some of these very changes introduce more challenges. I don't think we need to worry about getting bored any time soon :-)<br /><br />I was just complaining about how hard nap time is to my husband. I said I wanted to make sure to get them active in the morning to help nap time so he suggested taking them to a local jumpy place. I told him no, they would be too wound up to sleep. I got an odd look and a, "Seriously?" It is a very precise balance we are seeking!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289616843275308342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-88107851447751802082011-09-22T09:37:51.422-05:002011-09-22T09:37:51.422-05:00As always ... learning from you.

I've had to bathe the girls alone from almost day one b/c the hubby works so much ..... I'm glad you feel you mastered that one now. It does feel good. Thanks for always sharing the good and the honest!!
