How to do it with two…well since I had three babies in three years, I don’t even remember two since I was too sleep-deprived to have any memory of that time. I remember using the Baby Bjorn ALL the time and holding the hands of my other toddlers. I remember going to the park constantly but rarely going other places. In the winter, we took the kids to the school gym.(convenient that my husband and I both worked in education then). The most important thing that helped was that I gave up expectations that things would get back to normal. I had to develop a new normal which often sucked by pre-baby standards. Now my youngest is four and I still can’t go to stores without wanting to scream even louder than my kids. My preferences have changed to doing things my kids enjoy…it’s so much more peaceful and wonderful to know that they are so engaged in what they are doing. Like you said, this too shall pass. It does get easier…but harder in new ways. Just wait until they tattle and fight!
