Ärende: RE: keeping cool
========================
Hola Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> Quick thinker, that girl....think I'll keep her! (grin)
-> 
-> -> I would if I were you. (G)  You already know what she likes and doesn't
-> -> like food & drink wise so you don't have to worry about what to cook for
-> -> her.
-> 
->  hn> After almost 36 years, we've certainly gotten past
->  hn> the adjustment stage (grin).
-> 
-> We hit the 33 year mark just before I came out to LV; I've got Steve
-> mostly figured out but he occasionally throws a surprising curve ball at
-> me.
-> 
It pays not to be TOO predictable!

-> -> -> Well, we have another one, Amanda's age, still single.  She likes to
-> -> -> play the part of spoiler to her nephew  (and now niece).
-> 
-> ->  hn> Has she been by to see the Sarah yet?
-> 
-> -> She did when Sarah was only a few hours old.  Rachel & David had 
gone to
-> -> the hospital the night before to get ready for an inducton.  About 5 am
-> -> David called to say that the birth would soon.  Steve & I took off about
-> -> 40 minues later, just missed the actual birth (6:19) by about 5 minutes.
-> -> Deborah brought Robert down a few hours later.
-> 
->  hn> How are things now? Adjusting to the new
->  hn> addition going smoothly? Robert's old enough
->  hn> now that he can "help" a bit and watching after
->  hn> two isn't quite as difficult as when both are
->  hn> still in diapers.
-> 
-> Things are going fairly well.  Robert will go back to school (preschool)
-> tomorrow.  Getting him back into that routine will help him.  He's had a
-> few questions and issues but seems to be over all quite accepting that
-> baby sister is here to stay.  He seems to fight most of his battles over
-> food, liking something one time and not another.  But, that will change
-> as his taste buds mature.
->
The good thing is that he can understand that 
lots of attention that used to be his alone will
now have to be shared with little sister! 
 
-> I had 2 in diapers for a while.  It was rough on me but we all lived
-> thru it.  The girls are 20 months, 2 weeks apart; Robert & Sarah are
-> about 7 weeks short of 5 years apart.  Rachel was too young to be of
-> much real help but Robert has been quite a help at times.  He's also old
-> enough to entertain himself.
->
My mom had the four of us about a year apart each.
that was tough on ALL of us (grin).
 
chat with you soon!
