What it's like having 2 kids

Everyone asks how is having two kids, it's not Rylee that is hard, it's Emily! Her hyper crazy personality has gone up a few levels since Rylee has been around. I'm not sure if it's because she needs attention or she is just excited but she went from crazy to wild!!!! She's a lot to handle and her non-stop go-go-go-go energy & loudness is very overwhelming!!!! She has tried to stop naps too, but I'm not going to let that happen!! It took her over 2 hours in her room today to fall asleep!

What it's like having 2 kids: 

- Changing a 2 year olds diaper just feels so dumb ... she should of been potty trained a LONG time ago!! 

- Carrying a 2 year old is just silly! Plus 21 pounds feels sooo HEAVY now! 

- Sleep deprivation isn't as bad this time

- I forgot how infants toes smell like nasty old trash 

- A double stroller all though heavy & awkward is a must & a total lifesaver 

- Never turn away help!! 

- Make the night feeding bottles ahead of time for the whole night

- I've tricked Em into thinking it's so cool to throw away the dirty diapers

- Make up is overrated but lip gloss & mascara when going somewhere is a must :) 

- Date night ... what's that?!

- A feeding schedule for Rylee ... duh!! Why didn't I do this with Emily?! Rylee sleeps so much better because of this I think. 

- If one child is sleeping most likely the other is awake ... AND screaming

- Em has no concept of what "BE QUIET!!" means 

- You can spoil a infant too much & once you've accomplished that, you'll never be able to put them down. Therefore you'll never accomplish anything.

- Getting Rylee on the same nap schedule as the Emily is a must!!! 

- Who cares about a clean house, dinner & clean laundry anymore?! 

- When both kids are screaming at the same time it's hard to decide who's issue is more important ... a couple times both have been screaming & I silly screamed & it made Em laugh & stop & made me feel good to scream haha :)

So it's a major life adjustment & frustrating at times but I look at both these sweet faces & THANK GOD He's trusted me as their mom, they are so cute, sweet, funny and the best blessings in my life, every challenge is worth it!!
