Now, it's so much easier, they are such a team (they've even said this themselves!) <br /><br />I thought going from one to two was the hardest, but only having three probably makes a difference.<br /><br />Any which way, what a blessing being a mother is!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611865831958609009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-78631149170441383872012-05-08T18:33:09.321-04:002012-05-08T18:33:09.321-04:00Loved this Colleen---I think each one was hard---a...Loved this Colleen---I think each one was hard---all because each one required a different adjustment/growth/change in the family. The hardest for me was #4 all because of that darn colic! :) But boy did I learn an extraordinary amount of patience and the older kids learned some independence which was SO good for them. I think five is crazy busy, but like you said, by this time I know what to stress about and what NOT to stress about and I can enjoy it all more.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912466557223829314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-33750107007651918122012-05-08T09:25:41.569-04:002012-05-08T09:25:41.569-04:00Having two so close together will be hard in the b...Having two so close together will be hard in the beginning, but I promise you that those two boys will become the best of friends, and you'll never regret one tired day of it all!

I keep telling everyone, I think if we can get through next year, we will be okay, but I am pretty darn worried about next year :) At least, when I feel like I am going crazy, I can take comfort in Super Moms who have done and survived!!!Mary Wilkersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895931413075965922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-63828165244085660302012-05-08T09:01:58.943-04:002012-05-08T09:01:58.943-04:00What a great post!
