Ratios
Now that we are a year (almost) into having four children, we can report on how certain ratios are working.1 parent to four children (1:4): This depends on the location. At home, pretty manageable. Mealtimes are crazy, of course.
1:3 at Josh's baseball game: Not manageable. Sorry Carma, Caro and I will meet in the City another time!
1:2: Very mangable. Especially when it's supposed to be a 1:4 situation. Yesterday afternoon this happened twice. I had 1:2 when Caroline was at dance and Sammy napped. Then, another 1:2 happened as I had dinner with Caroline and Sammy while Matthew and Josh napped on the couches. This was a surprise ratio so we enjoyed every minute of it.
1:0: This is a good one. Most mornings when Sam sleeps and the other 3 are at school
2:0: Very nice thanks to babysitters and grandparents and early bedtimes!
2:1 This is a good ratio. We had this last night as Matthew raged until 11:00 after taking late afternoon nap. Most evenings are like this with Josh, he stays up a bit later than the younger 3.
1:1 We love one on one time with any of the kids.
4:4 This is also good, we are looking forward to Mark's parents visit in 2 weeks.
2:4 We also really do love all being together.
This sounds like that book Bears on Wheels!
Enjoy your ratios today!
