Except for the kids and I'm looking for some major advice on what to say or how to...

Here's the situation. I told my mom and dad a couple weeks ago they took it fine actually which is good considering he lives here. Shortly after I told one of my sister in laws who is completely accepting and then finally on the 4th I told the remaining two. Problem is the remaining two have older kids but not old enough to actually have a convo if that makes sense.

Ages:
3 Months--No problem wont know anything but DJ/Davis
1yr 9 months- No problem parents already started saying "Uncle"
1 1/2- again no problem
4(She already thinks he's a boy so that wont be very hard.)
6-Nathan--Care free boy..wont have a problem but prolly some questions
7 COmplicated Amelia..I have no effin clue how to tell her or what needs to be said.
8 Victoria is very smart for her age and very mature and will have the most questions presumably
14 yr old --rarely see him so just need to tell him when i do.

Soo...Input from anyone who has come out to kids or even plain old ideas because I am at a loss for them.

Just tell them he was always  a guy but many people didn't know that.

I feel like it'll work for the younger ones, but he's been living here for 3 years and was always "she" up until Nov. last year when he came out to be. And even then it took till now for me to tell everyone...so yea...but i like the idea.

My mom said to just say he's my boyfriend and go from there.
