Interview - The Power of Three

My brother, Scott, has three young boys ages 6, 3 and 1. Since Scott works for the public schools, he has summer off. This summer he has been home full-time with the boys. I took the opportunity to interview him about his summer so far.

Dara: What has been the best part about staying home with the boys this summer?

Scott: Getting to spend lots of quality time with them.

Dara: What has been the hardest part?

Scott: Juggling all the different temperaments and button-pushing between the three boys.

Dara: Give me an example of something super crazy or difficult?

Scott: When all three of them are high-pitch screaming and fussing. Also, when they leave toys everywhere. That's no fun.

Dara: How about an example of something really sweet?

Scott: One thing really sweet is every morning the youngest wakes up and looks around for the other two and says, "Hi" to them. He wants to say good morning to them every day.

Also, when the middle child is sad or emotional, he runs to his older brother for comfort. That's very cool.
