I made a rule in our house... only one child can cry at a time (I know, I laugh at myself just reading it). I read it in a magazine, and that mother said it worked. Of course her kids weren't 3, 2 and 1. Every once in a while two will be crying and I will remind them of the rule and one will get annoyed, but will stop and wait a minute, then ask, "Is it my turn yet?"
Well today, no one followed the rule. I think it started with Maura, B joined in. Mo stopped, Mags started up, B continued, Maura jumped back on, Mags again, still B is going. I tried to remind them of the rule. In calm times both Mo and mags can repeat it. No one seemed to remember. I did what any good mother would.. I joined them!!

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you are super woman. I an barely handle two crying at the same time. I love that rule. I am definitely going to put that one in place at our house!
