Things are starting to settle in I guess. The transitions are over for us and we are used to having little ones around again. Of course now that they may be going home in a few weeks. But now we know that yes it's hard in the beginning, but it does give us an idea about the length of time adjustments take. Things we can expect in the future. So at least we know it does get a little easier. Don't get me wrong there are days I still want to pull my hair out, but those are normal parenting things. Of course this school situation, added to doctors appointments, and the constant changing of visitation schedules has caused quite a few drama filled days. But overall things are settling into a routine and routines are good.
The girls now request hugs from us, so that is nice. We can sit and chat and I have started being able to let the silly out. They are also enjoying the one on one time with us, instead of fearing being separated from their sister crutches.
Now with that said we still have to give constant reminders of the same things. I have instituted a new rule. Leave the lights on and you have an extra chore to do to help pay for the bill. Yup 6,7 and 9 year olds can help clean their bathrooms, fold their laundry, and wash and put away their dishes. As well as make their beds, clean their rooms, and clean their playroom.
