Early Lessons From a Parent of Two Kids





So I’m no expert, but what I’ve learned in these few months is the following:

1. If one child sleeps well, the other doesn’t.
2. If both children by some miraculous fate sleep well, one of the parents does not.
3. A baby within reach of a toddler is a baby calling out to be ‘touched’
4. It IS easier to enjoy your children when you have sleep
5. Two years is more than enough time to forget how hard that first year can be
6. You don’t really NEED to sterilize all that nursing and feeding stuff—soap and water does just fine.
7. Don’t put 2 children on the bed/couch/floor to be dressed at the same time when one of them is being wild and rambunctious
8. This One is Well Known, but whatever one child has, the other desperately needs
