Life with two

For the first few months of Kieran's life, I often thought, "How can I ever leave the house on my own with two kids?" I knew many people who did this and thought them mighty super stars. At the time, one friend would talk about going out for meals (in REAL restaurants) on her own with her two kids. I thought she was insane.

Then I started doing crazy things, like going to the park without a stroller (with a huge diaper bag on my back and Kieran in my wrap on my front) and to the mall without a stroller (where both my boys proceeded to need numerous diaper changes), and more. These things were not easy, but maybe they were good ideas because at this very moment, getting out with my two is starting to feel quite easy.

Some of you might be thinking, "Easy, no, you must be insane," but it's true. I am absolutely LOVING getting out of the house with my two boys. We spent the day at the Science Centre today and had a great time. I didn't even want to leave the house this morning, but plans were plans and Malcolm wanted to go to the Science Centre, so there we were. And it was GREAT!

So, to any of you who can't imagine getting out of the house with one, let alone two, let me (Ms. Homebody) tell you that it gets easier and easier AND it feels great!

I can relate. Back in the day it was really tough to get both Mike and Steve out into public at the same time.
