A Huffington post I actually like...

I like that it's not the incendiary drivel HuffPost usually posts. But I feel like a lot of the frustrations she described are the frustrations of parenting a toddler, especially for the first time, not necessarily parenting two kids. I know few people who would remain totally zen with a kid who refuses to nap and then poops on the floor to boot, regardless of whether they also have a baby or not.

Good article. I like that it's not a click bait article for once! lol. I didn't have that experience with two but I can understand why others might. I wonder if it's one of those things where, if you have a hard adjustment with #1, your experience with adding number 2 will be comparatively smoother and vice versa. Are there people who have a totally smooth transition both times?

I will let you know in August ;-)

Knock on wood, but we've had fairly easy transitions both times. Both our boys are content, happy chill babies. One was fairly easy and two is way easier than I anticipated. It took DS1 about a fortnight to adjust.

We've had issues DS2's sleep at the moment, but overall, it's been really pleasant to incorporate both into our life.
