What it's like with two

When people see me with the new baby they ask what it's like to "have two." Friends ask, relatives ask, even strangers. Sometimes it feels like they're hoping to hear the worst, that two is twice as hard or that familial disaster is right around the corner. When I say that it's easier than I expected, some people seem disappointed. What can I say, I was raised to prepare for the worst. Little G never slept for more than twenty minutes at a time and screamed like we were killing her every time we tried to set her down. It was rough. This baby is somewhat easier but, like any baby, he presents his own unique and special challenges. Parenting an infant is hard, no matter how many kids you have. And if I recall correctly, preschoolers will get on your nerves with or without a baby in the picture. So, what is it like? The same except now we have a baby and babies are a lot of work.

P.S. The baby looks like a tiny man. He's the best.
