Ok, after a pot of coffee and a couple sodas, I did manage to get enough energy to take Hayden to his gym class and run a few errands. While we were at gym class, I was talking to a mommy friend of mine. Her daughter, who is about 8, was fascinated with the triplets. She would watch them for a while and then ask me a question like; "What are there are there names?", "Do they have the same birthday?", "Who was born first?", "They all live with you?" and other things 8 year olds are interested in.
She stopped after a while and seemed just content to watch the babies play. But then, when there was a pause in the conversation between her mom and I, she said, "Your hands must be very busy. My mom's hands are busy but not as busy as yours."
I just smiled and laughed. She was just so cute. I think that is the best comment about triplets I have ever had. She is certainly right, mommy's sure do have "busy hands."

what an adorable comment! i love watching kids who are fascinated by the peaches...they are always so polite and ask a million questions!
Kids always say the darndest things and can be so observant/insightful at times. Thank you for sharing this AH HA Moment.
That's so cute! Your hands are busy because THEIR hands are busy no doubt!
I loved her comments about you.. but even more that she recognized it in her own mother. I can't wait until my girls recognize that it's not all coffees and lunches. Wait, maybe I'm talking about my husband...
that is so sweet. I love little inquisitive kids
What a great way to put it! Much better than some of the other comments I'm sure you're tired of hearing from folks.

Busy hands all day. And not enough sleep at night. You poor thing. Blessed but exhuasted, I know.
I love that! Such a simple observation yet so profound @ the same time!
