The Third Child


The Third Child sometimes has to put herself to bed on a dish towel in the middle of the kitchen floor!  


Three kids in another notch...I think a bigger transition than two!  There is something about three...Rayne's grandma summed it up well as she watched me feed Rayne a whole, only slightly peeled banana..."With the first kid you carefully pick out the banana, peel it, cut it in nice little slices and carefully set them in front of your child.  The second kid - you just grab any old banana, chop it a little less perfectly, and hand it to them.  The third child you just grab a banana, slightly pull back the tough peel, and hand it to them whole!!!

With that said, Rayne won't eat a banana now any other way now.  They just adapt, fit in, just do life as they need to.   Birth order personalities are true (which I sometimes wondered before having children) Makes you wonder why you spend so much time the first time choosing the perfect banana and cutting it to perfection!  But, you do...because you can.   Wherever they fall in our family we love them and embrace all that they are all and all that their environment has created them to be!   And no worries - Rayne is not suffering from lack of attention! :)
