Favorite and Least Favorite

[abcmommy]

So far what is your favorite and least favorite thing about having 2u2?

My favorite thing so far is seeing how much my DD already loves DS. She likes to give him toys, touch his feet and hands, and when he cries she runs to me with a concerned look on her face. I'm excited to see how close they get as they grow up together.

My least favorite thing is that I feel like I cannot give each child the one-on-one time that they deserve.

My favorite thing about having kids so close in age is them playing together. I'm sure kids farther apart in age still play with their siblings, but I love that my kids are growing up so close in age because they aren't that far off in interests and development. And I don't have to worry about tiny choking hazard toys all over for my babies because my toddler is still too young to trust with small objects since he still randomly decides to put things in his mouth.

ETA: I'm so negative already, that I don't really want to think about the negative aspects of having 2U2 (soon to be 3U3) right now. I'm trying (not very successfully) to become a more positive mommy. Especially since I want nothing but excitement for this third child about to join our family!

My favorite thing is the love I already see DD giving her little sister. She "helps" me with everything. She will shake up bottles and give LO her pacifier. She always tries to kiss her and gets so concerned when LO cries.

My least favorite part trying to make enough one-on-one time for both of the girls! Its really hard sometimes esspecially when they are both upset at the same time. It's also so difficult When DD gets angry and jealous and tries to hurt her sister or starts smacking herself.

Overall, I love the craziness, though!

I want to play even though I've graduated. Mine are now 4 and 2.5 so it's been awhile.

My favorite is that my kids are pretty similar as far as interests and skill levels. I assume most siblings play together but they can really enjoy the same types of crafts, shows, games because they aren't that far apart. They fight a lot but they really love being together.

The least favorite is feeling like both kids are getting the short end of the stick. I promise you ladies this one gets better. DD got all of my attention as a newborn but had to share me as toddler. DS had to share me as an infant but as a toddler DD is in preschool and he's home and we get so much one on one time. It really does even out!

Congratulations on your 3u3!
