WHOA! We had a good run. We really did. For 3 years and eight months our kids stayed in their cribs. They never once climbed out. I realize this is something close to a miracle. I hear plenty of stories of kids climbing out of their cribs to mark first birthdays. Even more don't make age two. For 3 years and eight months of glorious time we could simply put the kids in their cribs and there they stayed. That was time I got to myself, to play video games or read or relax or to undertake home projects. Sure, they might jump around and talk; occasionally they would scream. But they stayed put. Until yesterday. Uh oh. I've been battling a head cold all week. If you think triplets sound daunting, try it with a body that feels like its underwater. The kids went into their cribs at their normal times and talked up a storm. But just as I was getting off work, they settled just a bit and I thought I might get a minutes...
We tried for one, and we ended up with a bushel of fun.
