I have a 3.9yo, a 2yo and a 9 month old. It's crazy busy but you get into a routine. We wake up, cuddle in bed then the girls watch tv while I shower. Ds is still asleep in his cot, but will normally wake up around this time. The girls feed themselves breaky while I do the dishwasher and put on a load of washing.
Then we get dressed and start our day, I put the girls in day care twice a week and Ds one so I can juggle swimming and dancing lessons for all three.
Dd1 no longer naps so she gets one on one time when the others sleep we do crafts or cook.
Lately the tv has been on more as I have been sick but the girls play a lot, they make a fort under the table or build city's with blocks etc happily on their own. They have also wanted to start helping do things so they put plates in the sink, put toys away and feed the dog.
It works out in the end. Ds is crawling and either follows me or observes the girls, he just likes company and fits in. As for sleeping I used to go to bed not long after them, especially when feeding Ds overnight. If they wake up too early the girls go downstairs and play.
