[quote=Anonymous]My 3 are at the same age split as what you'll have and my third is now just 18 months old. The first year craziness got real, as others have mentioned, when my littlest became mobile. Relatively minor logistics that I didn't think about such as how to navigate a solo grocery shopping trip with all 3 were things that I had to figure out along the way (when all three want to sit in the 2-kid race car shopping cart, LOL). You're definitely outnumbered, but it just means that you have to be that much more prepared and organized to get through some things.

There will definitely be some moments where you're pulling your hair out and "feel" every bit outumbered. However, as I watch mine interact and start to develop their own relationships amongst each other, I wouldn't have it any other way. My 18 month old is starting to say her siblings' names, looks for them to play with her, and gets genuinely excited when they get home from school. My older ones have learned a lot about patience, sharing, and being gentle with littler ones. Its been an awesome experience all around.[/quote]
