Sweet Emma makes me smile. She's such a doll. You know, in the early-to-mid afternoons, I usually go for the protein-distraction combo. I save the flick, or the board games, or the dress-up time, or something they can crawl in/on/under, and give them a high-protein snack. If I've planned it well, I can also climb under/on/near the structure and grab a nursing nap while the bigger ones play, snack, pretend quite happily for a bit. Total sanity saver, and the extra protein seems to cut down on the arsenic-hour chaos later. {{hugs}} and kisses for you and those three, sweet babies! You'll find your new groove in no time at all!
