Preschools, potties and exhausted mom

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. We've been busy and all of my extra time has been spent sleeping. I used think having 3 under 1 was as hard as it would get, but 3 in the terrible twos is quite a challenge. Coby went through a couple of weeks of MAJOR tantrums, but he seems to be over the worst of it now. He still throws them but only for a few minutes, not for hours like before. Taylor is finally potty trained for the most part. She still has accidents if we are out for long periods of time, but at home she's pretty good. The girls are totally out of diapers, except for nighttime and I have started putting Coby in cloth diapers. It's amazing how much we've been saving on diapers lately!
We've finally found a preschool we like for the girls. It was a really long, confusing process but I found one I love, that's affordable and close to home and I'm hoping the girls get in. I have had them on the waiting list since last Nov. and they have their big interview on March 18th. Pretty silly that you need to interview to get into preschool, but whatever. :) Well I haven't taken many photos lately but here's a few random ones from last month.

That first picture of Coby is perfect! Jack went through some horrible tantrums at about 1 year old. So far (knock wood) he hasn't been that bad (other than the whiney baby stuff he has always done). I am so impressed you have both girls potty trained! I'm not even thinking pre-school for Jack yet, he seems so young to me.....I can't wait to see how the girls like it. Isn't Taylor more introverted than Chloe is? If so please let me know how she handles it. I just don't think Jack would do well at all, but maybe I'm wrong and he would thrive from a little time away from me???

glad you found a school for the girls that you really like. hope interviews go well; seriously it's harder to get into some preschools these days then it is to get into some colleges!

Wow, what a process for preschool. We have finally (I think) have found one that will take Lydia that we love. A lot of the preschools around here only take children that are 3 buy Aug. 1st and Lydia will be 3 on the 22. This narrowed it down a quite a bit for us. The others want more per week than I make (working pt). This one is 3 days a week from 9-2:30 same days and hours I work. I think she is going to love it. Hope they get in and have lots of fun...I'm sure you will love the little break and spend time with Coby.

You HAVE to tell us how the "interview" goes. That will be a hoot.

Oh, I love that first pic of sweet Coby...

Bad news..the Threes are much worse than the Twos.

I hope the girls love their preschool : )

The worst thing that people say to me is how it only gets harder, "wait till they're teenagers." What the -- ?! They call that comforting? Hang in there and please take care of yourself!
