Grandma taught the kids this little song in order to avoid a meltdown over who was going to come out of the tub first. It's one of the many coping mechanisms to use when dealing with three 3 year olds who ALL want to be first...or who want to be last or don't want to be last...or who want to be in the middle - or whatever it may be that day.
Casey is the most vocal and doing the majority of the singing this day, Maggie was doing the pointing and Mitchell was kind of singing along but still eating. This time they weren't happy with being picked as "the one".
One more video, our version of this song is missing a few meeny's and mo's.
The kids are doing so many fun, funny and silly things these days. It is just awesome to see them really playing together now!

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Triplet Playdate
I am (not very successfully) trying to get caught up from our past few months. Our computer crashed, thankfully we had backed it up not too long before so most of our pictures were okay but man what a reminder of how important it is to back things up! I don't even want to think of losing ALL of our pictures! I have some developed of the kids but surprisingly I'm a little behind in that too. However, for some reason we can't open the file with all of their birthday and pre-school pictures! Hopefully soon!
The kids went through a stage where they absolutely LOVED Mickey and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Good thing for PVR! They have kind of moved on from him now but before this happened we took the kids out to Wilson's Greenhouse where there is a couple of huge outdoor bouncy houses and slides.
It was great, we had the place to ourself for most of the time we were there and the kids were all having a great time. Then for some reason Maggie decided once she got to the top of the slide that she didn't want to go down anymore. She wasn't budging. We both tried talking her into coming down the slide, going back down the way she went up, the boys would even go up there and hold her hand trying to get her to go down with them.
Nothing was working. She felt the need to just sit up there with this look on her face...it was SO funny!
Finally, when we had to leave Daniel went up and got her. Little stinker!
These pictures of Casey show the little of terror that he experienced going down (and his huge head of hair - ha!), but he was all smiles at the bottom!
Also back this summer we had the pleasure of finally meeting another family with triplets, whose girls are only just over a month older than ours (plus 2 older boys). I first met Dee outside of the NICU, I was still pregnant and going on a tour and her girls had just been born and she was there with them. We realized at that time that they lived over 4 hours away from us.
We didn't exchange contact info or anything but strangely enough we came in contact again months later on a website called Triplet Connection. It's a site for triplet parents with a forum that I found so helpful in the first year with the babies.
We kept in contact a bit after that and always said it would be great to meet with the kids being so close in age. Finally this summer Dee and her husband Brad and kids were going to be in Saskatoon for the night so they came over for supper and a visit - it was great! We got a few pictures that night and actually there was a point were it was relatively quite and us adults got to eat alone while the kids played downstairs.
Brad, Dee and ALL of the kids - their boys Gavin and Griffin, and the girls Naomi, Sarah and funny enough....Maggie!!
Looks like we gained another curly haired member in our family!
There aren't too many families with triplets where we live (and those that are here are older) so it was really nice to finally meet. I don't know if it's because of the one major thing that we have in common, but it actually seemed like this wasn;t our first time actually meeting. It will be great to do it again sometime soon!
