When it's your lucky day, you get to choose the spoon you have cereal with, you get in the car first, go out the front door first. They still fight and the younger one forgets when it's her day and then whines about it the next, but it does seem to help more often than not. <br />I only have 2 and they're girls, but my older one has ADHD and has been completely fearless since the day she was born. I used to keep a count of how many days it had been since we last went to Urgent Care. It's a good thing my husband has excellent insurance.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113843750633350544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405937624063727621.post-63013804352100937352012-08-17T19:22:55.673-07:002012-08-17T19:22:55.673-07:00As you should be! :-))As you should be! :-))Motherhood: A Descent Into Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536244695350565096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405937624063727621.post-40199606478644216652012-08-17T18:35:16.555-07:002012-08-17T18:35:16.555-07:00Aww, Come on.

We'd scare the BEJEEZUS out of everyone! I live next door to a house that college students rent out, and when my youngest was a baby, he was flipping out and screaming his face off on a night they were having a party. I seriously considered holding him, screaming, up to the adjoining fence and yelling out, "PRACTICE SAFE SEX, PEOPLE, OR THIS WILL BE YOUR LIFE IN NINE MONTHS." <br /><br />I thought it would be a nice thing for me to do.

On the first part followed by "people in our family". But it was hard to see anything but the we have sex part. He meant six. I have 4 kids within 6.5 years of each other. There are moments I'd make a good model for a birth control campaign. They should pay to walk around high schools :) Certainly there are amazing moments too, but its pretty crazy sometimes.
