First Bath

Yesterday afternoon I gave Eleanor her first tub bath. She loved it, however it was a challenge as I had to hold her in place with one hand and wash her with the other.

All fresh and clean after her bath.





Morning Play Date

Eric's mom left early this morning (after being here all week to help) so that left me with all three babies! Fortunately I had already set-up a morning play date with Sally Ann and her girls. Such a big help, plus we love their company.

Abigail and Everett went to town with play dough. I had to distract Hampton with another activity because he kept eating it!


They stayed for the majority of the morning. It was so funny having five kids now who are three and under! Here is Sally Ann having "story time" before naps.

And little Eleanor pretty much slept the entire time. She sleeps wonderfully in her crib in her room at night, however during the day wants to nap where all the action is.

I have to say I have gained confidence that I can handle the three on my own now. It just takes a lot of preparation and organization......and patience! It also helps that sweet Eleanor Jane has such an easy temperament.
