Two kids is definitely different than one! With Cole, missing some sleep at night wasn't so bad because I could make it up with him the next day. But with two, making up the missed sleep has to be coordinated between two kids. Cole was already on a pretty decent schedule so we've been trying to keep that going for when I head back to work. There have been some pretty stressful times but for the most part it's been pretty sweet. Double smiles, double love, double cuddling and who can complain about that?!
I read an article recently by a mother that basically said to enjoy "someone needing you" because there will come a time when that's not constant. I can already see that with Cole (I know, I know, he's only three). He can go potty by himself, can dress himself, grabs a blanket if he's chilly, strips if he's hot, and the list goes on and on. I can't imagine what things will be like in 3 more years! So for right now I'm enjoying "someone needing me" (actually two someones) and life sure is sweet!
