I was curious about what you do about your other triplets without special needs. At 3 years old, I had planned on keeping them all at home as I have a full time nanny and I don't need Mother's Day out to get them out of the house. I have been trying to get them out with me or my DH one on one to give them a little extra attention, but we can't do this every day. I always feel like I need to be working with Emil to get him to be more interactive and involved with the others. I'm also conflicted because I left my career (before Emil was showing signs of autism) to be with all of the kids and I don't feel ready to put any of them in a school program. Does anyone else feel this way or have you experienced this before? What did you do to give the others more attention? It's also challenging because I have a 7 month old as well.

My two other children started a "fun preschool" program for 2 year olds last January. This summer, they are going 2x a week. It was hard when we started our home program since everyone was coming to spend time with Devon. I also try to do something special with them once a week when Devon has a tutor that I don't mind leaving him with. Even if it means just going to a different park that would be impossible to go with when Devon is with us.
