What I've learned so far raising 3 girls...Part 1

Since I became a mother of 3 beautiful girls I have learned a lot. Therefore I thought I'd share with you a list I started. These are all lessons I have learned myself in my journey raising my three beautiful daughters.
                                   


Having a sister is like always having a friend to play with. Except you can scream, give dirty looks and pull hair when your mad at each other and it's okay. You will be best of friends in two seconds again.

If your missing a pair of leggings from your dresser draw, even at age 6 you can find your 4 year old sister wearing them. Yes people it starts this young! This is what happens when their 2 years apart; they can share clothes. Someday maybe they will appreciate that.

If one of them is too shy, the other one is outgoing enough to do the talking for her.

When you have 3 daughters ages 6 and under they will like playing baby dolls. Therefore you need 3 doll strollers at least 2 dolls cribs and multiple baby dolls bottles. Or El's there WILL be screaming and fighting. So sometimes buying multiples of certain toys just makes life easier for everyone and you can keep your hearing.

You will need to learn how to do hair. They will see pictures of fancy hair styles and want you to do it to their hair. You then realize a simple pony tail and braid no longer cuts it.

Speaking of hair; when it comes to brushing their long thick hair, it is not an easy task. It involves crying and time.

Sharing a bedroom is like one giant sleep over every single night. I'm starting to wonder if there is ever a night without small talk or giggling being heard. Our two younger ones share a room now. Someday we will have a 4 bedroom home! Someday.....

You think having three daughters is like playing dress up. It is till they turn 2. They then realize a sense of independence and no sense of style at all. But hey, I'm all for it if they want to dress themselves. So if you see my daughters and they DON'T match, please note they dressed themselves that morning. Ha ha ha.

When we take a trip to the store they always want those 5 dollar Polly Pockets that are at the end caps or by the check outs. Why not the 99 cent match box cars instead? Their still fun. But their not "girly" enough to catch their eyes apparently.

Girls love to help out in the kitchen. Whether its making dinner, baking muffins or preparing a snack. I love my little extra helping hands in the kitchen Now if only I could get them to be interested in cleaning the bathroom or something along those lines as well.

Telling your 4 year old daughter she cannot change her outfit more than two times a day is like speaking to an alien. She will still sneak into her room and magically come out in new outfits throughout the day.

No matter how you raise girls when their mad they are going to stomp their feet and make a grin noise. I'm starting to believe it's breaded in them. Don't tell me you never did as a kid.

At age 6 we let our oldest daughter get her ears pierced. My earrings just doubled in stock. I must admit she has good sense of style and I make her share with me.

When your out in public people will always have a comment along the lines of, "Oh my you have three daughters?!" "Your poor husband!" Best one yet was,"I was blessed with boys!" Honestly sometimes I feel like responding with some sort of smart butt remark.

We are so blessed to have three daughters and I wouldn't change it for the world!!

Too be continued...
