Let me just say first of all life with two children is definitely different. What is so different you might ask. Well I will just start by listing the things I believe have changed a lot.
1. My 2 year old has had a really hard time adjusting to the fact that he doesn't get 100% of the attention anymore. This has resulted in being outright disobedient. Choosing to disobey anything mommy or daddy ask him to do.
2. Feeling the pressures of having to discipline so much that you aren't even sure what works anymore. Where is the creativity with discipline without being overbearing?
3. Looking into the face of your perfect baby boy that God has blessed you with.
4. Bathing two babies instead of just 1. Means you need to give more time to get ready for places you need to go.
5. The possibility of having 2 kids waking you up in the middle of the night instead of just one. Which means both parents need to be willing to get up and can't just rely on one cause then you are grouchy the next day and then nothing goes well for sure.
6. Try to get both kids down for a nap at the same time so that you can also get some sleep. You can't just assume it will happen.
7. Learning how to balance house work, baby and spending time with your toddler.
8. Constantly changing diapers! No joke!
9. Being able to see the changes that are happening in my 2 year old since his baby brother is here. You can start to see a love growing inside of him for him. A level of acceptance that is starting to show.
10. Having two kids screaming at the top of their lungs!
So far life after two has been a challenge, but I think I am starting to get a handle on it. I can't wait to see the dynamics in the next couple of months. I think it will be great.
