Practice makes Perfect!

I have an extra child for a few days. My Nephew, David, is staying with us while his Mom and Dad get some much needed vacation time alone. He is 8 months younger then Isabelle and they are having a blast. Isabelle is getting used to the idea (or trying to) of having Mommy hold another baby. She is learning to share (or at least that is the goal).

It's been a nice time to get to spend with my Nephew and for all the cousins to get to play together. I am learning to juggle a toddler and a baby. All the things you don't think about like, how to load all the kids in the car, how to feed all the children at the same time, how to cook for 4 kids, and how to arrange the bedrooms so that both babies get a decent nap and sleep through the night. It's been a challenge for me, but it's been a lot of fun. I'm glad he's here, and I'm glad we could help his Mom and Dad get the break they deserve.

They are so cute! But David looks bigger than Isabelle in that photo! He is going to be a big boy! Glad you are enjoying it and learning what it will take to get things done when you have 4.
