A rare treat

As I’ve mentioned, the boys got a teeball (tee ball? t-ball? whatever) set from my mom last weekend as an Easter gift. They are all pretty excited about it, but none more than Linus. Yesterday, when I asked if they wanted to go to the park to play with their new set, only Linus wanted to. So I proposed that Miles and Oliver stay home with Daddy while Linus and I go to the park. Surprisingly (very surprisingly), they all agreed to this plan. So off we went to the park. And it’s not like we had this super-exciting time at the park. Linus hit the ball over and over and over again while I took lots of pictures. Natch.

Linus showed Liam how to hit the ball. Hee!

and then I pushed him on the swing a bit (something I avoid at all costs when all three are there – I just can’t push three kids at once!) and then we played on the slide a little (don’t worry, we didn’t go down together).

There was a birdhouse.

It was just a really nice afternoon. Made my heart very happy to just focus on one little boy at a time. I asked him if he missed his brothers, and he considered for a bit, and then said, “Nope!” I actually was glad to hear this. Glad that he was okay on his own for a little bit. We picked up some pizza from our friend’s place across the street, and when we got home, the boys ate almost the whole pie. Their pizza is the only pizza they will eat.

    The pictures are adorable. It looks like it was a fun Mama/son date. I like how the ball is attached so it does not get lost. I get time alone with one every now and then and I treasure it.

    Oh wow, triplets!:) There must be a tremendous amount of both work and rewards involved.:) Great that you got the chance to have some one on one time. I have 7 siblings and, I remember those rare times when I could go somewhere with my mom without anybody else interupting as something very special. Sounds like it could be like that for your little ones too.:)
