Today, I’m excited to share the ten most wonderful aspects of raising three children. While I can’t quite find a fitting analogy for a trio (who needs a comparison when you have three little ones running around?), let’s just say managing three kids is a unique adventure that comes with its own set of surprises. Here we go!
-
Built-in Companionship
One day, I mentioned to my eldest that I often felt lonely as an only child. She quickly replied, “That’s how I feel when I’m awake, but Mia and Noah are sleeping.” Not quite the same, dear! Until you’ve arranged your stuffed animals for a cozy couch session, don’t even think about comparing loneliness. -
Sibling Alternatives
When the older two get into a squabble, they have the option to battle over who gets to entertain the youngest. It’s not always perfect, but at least they have a little variety! -
Shared Wardrobe
The girls are close in size, which means they can swap clothes easily. Plus, the youngest can wear all those adorable hand-me-downs. That little denim jacket? Absolutely adorable on all of them! -
Excuse Generator
Need a reason to skip a social event? Just mention you have three kids under five! “Sorry, can’t make it to that dinner, I’ve got three kids to wrangle.” It’s a perfect catch-all excuse for almost anything! -
Cuteness Overload
It’s uncanny how one child always seems to shine brighter when another is misbehaving. My middle child loves to express her affection for me whenever the oldest is in trouble. It’s like a game of “who can be the cutest” and I’m here for it! -
Endless Playmates
My daughter never has to play alone. With two siblings, she has ready partners for any imaginative adventure. No need for her to pretend to be both Anna and Elsa; she can just be Anna while the baby takes on the role of Olaf! -
Protection Squad
When we hit the playground, it’s like the three of them are the cool kids on the block. Nobody dares to mess with them, and my eldest is a fierce defender of her little siblings. Talk about a powerhouse trio! -
Always Something Happening
While it’s true that life can be a bit monotonous with three kids, each one brings their own quirks to the table, ensuring that boredom is a rarity. Just when I think I’ve seen it all, one of them surprises me! -
No More Parenting Tips
I rarely encounter anyone with more than three kids, and those who do tend to be busy with laundry and chaos. This means I’m less likely to receive unsolicited advice on how to raise my trio, which is a total win! -
Unbreakable Bonds
At the end of the day, the love they have for one another is priceless. Hearing my daughters call each other best friends and my son being dubbed “the best baby ever” makes every challenge worth it. Their affection melts my heart, even amid the chaos.
Raising three kids is truly a wild ride, filled with laughter, love, and a few grey hairs along the way.
