Triple Threat

Oh these little triplets of mine are so naughty abd so fast! Yesterday they finished breakfast and as I put their cereal bowls into the dishwasher, I heard them on the stairs, which meant the gate was open. I went up after them and in less than 3 minutes, they had opened the game cabinet and duped out every puzzle we own into a massive puzzle piece snow storm. Only 3 puzzles survived and the rest were thrown away. There was just no coming back from that. Too difficult to tell which pieces went with which of over a dozen puzzles, and the time it would have taken to sort them is impossible to obtain. Even cleaning them up was tricky. Two would help and the third would sneakily dump out what had been collected. Little Esme was in sensory heaven and made snow angels on the floor.  When I lifted up the toy slide so they could gather the pieces underneath it, Adrian ran over to the stairs where I had piled up the bags for garbage, and shook the trashbags out like a pillowcase and thousands more puzzle pieces showered down the stairs like feathers in a pillow fight. It was just laughable. Sloane and Esme went downstairs and dumped chicken feed all over the dining room and as I gathered them to just get in the car to go to physical therapy, Adrian threw raw eggs off the bathroom counter! Naughty! And fast! In fact, as I typed this post, I looked st the bang monitor, abd the twins have both climbed out of their cribs and Adrian is emptying their dresser all over the room. Esme is snuggled inside the laundry basket meowing like a kitty.  

 These kids are so crazy together. Like a tiny tot ado of toddler destruction. And yet, in all their wild antics, they bring me and each other so much joy.  

Edit: I went downstairs to put the twins back to bed, and both had pooped. Potty training the triplets is going to be an adventure just like everything else has been with these little cabooses! I’m so glad they’re here and that they have each other.  

And now I’m going to go instal more child safety locks because while puzzles are mostly disposable abd replacable, other things are not. And my energy is not great at replenishing itself in the triple speed necessary to keep up!
