You will be fine once you get into the swing of things.

Enjoy!! I only have one full timer and would give anything to have the choice of being as busy as you!!! Lol

I personally had 4 children born within 5 years :) There is 21mths between my first two, then 22mths then 16mths between the last two - that was interesting :laughing: :laughing: I had one just started infant school, one at preschool, a 16mth old and a newborn, plus it was december so had nativity plays and xmas parties to get too

Sorry, but off topic lol but the title grabbed me :laughing:

All I can say is enjoy your odd day when you don't have 4! It is really hard work and you will be glad to sit down at the end of the day.

Hay fun!!

I too have a variation for 4 under 5's - and when it came through wondered what on earth I was doing. Well, 2 months later I actually prefer having 4 but then when I do 2 are 1 yo and 2 are 3 yo so the balance is great and the 1 yo have a long nap (together) and then the 3 yo do something special then have their nap. Have fun!!

I've just applied for my variation for 4 under 5 too, it will only be for 4 hrs on a Thurs so not planning on going out of the house!

Thats good to hear:D My other 3 are all quite independant and will all be in morning nursery 5 days a week, so I will have to get out every day with them.

The others can all do their own shoes and coats and are toilet trained, so fingers crossed all will be fine

Sounds like hard work! Bet it'll be fun though. Don't think I could cope with that many but my friend has 4 under 5 of her own(3 boys, 1 girl) and she copes perfectly well.
