I have a couple of things that have worked for us.<BR/><BR/>This was a fun post. My favorite part was you being told your baby is crying. I mean, I have NO idea what that is like at all (chuckle). And I loved the quote of Grace telling you that her brother can't talk yet. Very cute.<BR/><BR/>80)<BR/>mbda hallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012938581102837437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-14328212919412061132008-09-18T12:53:00.000+03:002008-09-18T12:53:00.000+03:00Pete and Patty-- EXACTLY!!!!

But there errands at certain places where I have to cross the street--it's frightening! I usually have to get someone to help me stop traffic.Amy Medinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445986974714298954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-3331759340929982422008-09-17T17:03:00.000+03:002008-09-17T17:03:00.000+03:00#4 crossing the road in Dar?

You don't even want to do it in a car so why would you try on foot?Pete and Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389329903553610963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-3714916713082259142008-09-17T08:30:00.000+03:002008-09-17T08:30:00.000+03:00Aut--right now I'm working on getting Grace to wal...Aut--right now I'm working on getting Grace to walk next to the cart WITHOUT touching anything. We're getting there. Last week she almost pushed a button which would have turned off one of those giant freezers. Sigh. <BR/><BR/>And Jen--you're right...I've already asked myself, "Why did I think one was hard???" :-) And we want more, so I know I will think the same about having two. Though actually, becoming a new mom to Grace was harder than becoming a mom of two. So in some ways, it's been easier.Amy Medinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445986974714298954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-68416635255216967432008-09-17T07:44:00.000+03:002008-09-17T07:44:00.000+03:00Your post made me laugh because it is so true, the...Your post made me laugh because it is so true, the dynamics of adding just one more kid. <BR/>With 4 kids in 5 years, I think back to when I had just two and think to myself that I had it easy. We just don't know it at the time because we have never had more than that. Just like you probably tell yourself that one child is a piece of cake compared to this, yet when you had just one is was a shock and an adjustment. <BR/>It is amazing how adding kids isn't just twice as hard, but it feels 4 times as hard. How can that be when there is only 2?? <BR/>My biggest adjustment was going from two to three. Going from 3 to four was no big deal.<BR/>Well, I am glad you can smile at these new challenges, because with the right perspective they can be funny, which makes the hard times more tolerable.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824482120456388016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-23288280817390055382008-09-16T20:19:00.000+03:002008-09-16T20:19:00.000+03:00aww amy welcome to being a mom of two. my sister ...aww amy welcome to being a mom of two. my sister in law suhalia has two and trust me they are nver on time.<BR/><BR/>i dont know if it will ever be a possibilty for you guys but you might to think abotu putting josiah in his own room down the road.<BR/><BR/>but as they get older it will get easier. <BR/><BR/>having nieces and nphews helps i see what my brothers and sisters go through on a almost daily basis.<BR/><BR/>one last thing my mom had six kids at one time trust me she went crazy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118517190489901866.post-59515651988465415092008-09-16T20:05:00.000+03:002008-09-16T20:05:00.000+03:00LOL Wow Amy, you just described my world!

About eating, consider them your new diet plan, seriously. At the grocery store sounds like you need a child back pack and a stroller or maybe just a big wheel barrow! Lastly I don't know the last time we got to anything on time! Just about the time we start getting life organized, we have another baby! Good luck. There's a reason our parents have gray hair!
