Single parenting

Rachel went to some dog thing about an hour ago, so I'm home with all three kids by myself for the first time. It's Parker's naptime, and it's always Elizabeth's and Miranda's naptime, so this seemed like as good a time as any to try out my 3:1 parenting skills. Miranda took a big crap about half an hour ago, and pitched her usual fit at having her diaper changed, but she's back asleep now, next to her sister. Parker, rounding the two hour mark on his nap, just cried out a few times, but when I went in he seemed like he wanted to sleep more so I patted his back and then snuck out of the room. It took two tries.

And now I'm now the guy in the western movie: it's quiet - too quiet.
