Two Kids

Hopefully I didn't fool you into thinking I was pregnant. Not yet. lol

Dirty, stinky diapers smell A LOT worse when it comes from someone else's kids. Haha
I have been helping out a friend of mine form work by watching her little girl for her during the day so she can work. It has been a tough thing to do because

1. Getting two screaming children down for naps is horrible. I pretty much have just been letting them cry themselves to sleep. It is fun to see who will give in first. Sometimes I am surprised lol.
2. Two kids means twice as many diapers. Eeeww. I don't really remember gaggin when I change my own daughters diapers but I don't know whats wrong with me. Whenever it is someone else's kid I literally gag.
3. Sharing. Adalie has become quite possessive of her own toys. It is so weird to see this side of her. She does wonderful with sharing in nursery but at her own home she becomes a big bully! I was thinking of getting some sharing books and videos? We do a lot of time outs lately too...Any other suggestions?
4. Eating time. Wow. I thought finding something to eat for one little picky eater was tough.....now there are two that I have to throw the fridge at.

I admire those of you who have the two or more kid handling thing down pack. haha. One day I am sure I will learn, and I am learning even a little now....but wow. Good job guys and gals!!!

it is easier when they are two of your own I agree

there is still a learning curve though! I am interested to see how I will do with 3!

Your post title had be fooled for a minute. I thought maybe it might be an announcment. I too respect people with 2 plus kids. I really don't know how they do it. Maybee we'll stick with one for awhile.

haha. No. Far from it actually. I am definitely not ready. Maybe in a year? Who knows really... sometime before dental school, which gives us a 1 1/2 window to work with...lol
