If you thought your child's bedtime routine was exhausting, spare a thought for this mom of four little monkeys, who don't make getting ready for bed an easy job for their ma.
Corrie Whyte, Cambridge, Ont., is more min-wrestler than mom. Every evening after bathtime, she gets in the ring with her eight month-old triplets and her two year-old daughter. No sooner has she snapped one tot into a onesie, than another has crawled away from her clutches.

The couple's viral Facebook video is hilarious to watch, and it will make many a parent count their lucky stars they have only one or two tots to prep for bed each night.
If cats are hard to herd, then babies are master wrigglers and escape artists.
What I love best about this video is the way it is sped up and set to cutesy music, in the vein of a Chaplin movie. Can you relate?
The Whytes were taken by surprise by the naturally conceived triplets. They blog about their adventures at “The Baby Gang.”
“Right now the hard part is finding the balance between the needs of three eight-month-old babies and one two-year-old toddler,” said Whyte. “They all want your attention, while going in four different directions.”
As some have remarked, it's hard not to watch the footage and feel exhausted yourself. But 26 year-old Whyte takes the nightly ritual in her stride, claiming there's nothing special about what she does.
All moms, she says, are "super moms." We agree. However, some are more dextrous and nimble-handed than others.
