Someone told me, when I was pregnant with #2 baby and #1 baby was only 14 months old, that two babies were more than twice the work of one. THAT was the understatement of the century! Then I went and had ANOTHER one when baby #2 was just 15 months old. Trips to the grocery store with three kids under the age of 4...I honestly can't remember those days! They are a blur!

I enjoy your blog...I miss having little ones. Mine are teeangers now but I'm still at home with them and loving how their lives are changing and so interesting.

 

I hear ya. It is definitely harder when they're both mobile and both have different ideas of what they want to do!

 

That is why I don't go to the beach. I've tried the lake a few times and that's been okay, but I still always worry.

 

I found that for the first few years after Kamden was mobile but now that they are 4 and 7 it's no problem at all. Hang in there, it will pass quickly and you be free to beach it again without hubby :-)

 

You're at a challenging point now, but it will get much, much easier in a couple of years, and then, again, having the playmate/buddy thing will be wonderful at the beach.

 

It DOES get easier... in ways. In other ways, it gets harder as fighting school age kids is an embarrassment. Anyway. I totally understand not taking them to the beach. I would want a second set of eyes as well.

 

I found that going from one child to two children was much more difficult that having the ONE in the first place!


Of course.....Junior Mayhem was my second child and he is a challenge in a unto himself!
