So, my kids are great and wonderful. There is no denying it. However, today did make me wonder a bit if I am going to make it through this next year, now that the triplets are 3 years old. Enter the phase of INDEPENDENCE. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that they are becoming more and more independent. It shows that they are growing and maturing, not to mention, saving me a bit of time in the long run. But there are three of them, and the attitude of "I can do it by myself" is not as cute when multiplied by 3. I literally have to start getting them dressed and ready to leave an hour earlier in the day so that they can all put on their clothes, shoes, coats & hats all by themselves. It's quite a production!! I hope I make it through this phase with little hair loss!!
