Kids of EB

[YMZ PE]

Mini YMZ is officially potty trained at 2 years old! She's down to only a couple accidents a week, and never poops in her pants anymore.

I'm trying to teach Baby YMZ sign language, but like her big sister at this age (9 months) she simply says the words ("Ah dah" for "all done", etc.) instead of doing the signs. I think she'll be talking before a year old.

I wish we could get little ElCid to toliet train; 2 kids in diapers sucks.

mini snick is hilarious.

One of the daycare ladies has been on extended maternity leave. She was working yesterday and had the baby with her. On the way home I asked minisnick if he saw the baby..he said yes. I asked him if he liked the baby...he said yes. I asked him if he wanted a baby at home...he said NO!!!!!!!!!

THis morning while putting his shoes on I was talking to him and he told me in a whisper to Shhhhh, daddy is sleeping.

 

[YMZ PE]

^^ Smart kid. Are you thinking of having another?

 

[snickerd3]

we go back and forth about having second it would nice to have a playmate for minisnick, but a second kid would mean spliting an already small amount time at night between 2 kids. I would have to quit working for it to work out because I can only work part time for a year under family leave and full time SAHM mom would drive me crazy. Also I've already done the whole childbirth thing...not an experience I necessarily need to repeat.

I vote go for the second one now. It's nice when they are close in age and going through the same stages in close proximity. just throwing in my 0.02.

Agreed. Mine are 20 months apart.

I can't imagine a 2nd kid right now.

Then again, mini-kevo is only 13 months.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Mrs Dex was already pregnant again at that point...

 

[Ble_PE]

Ours are 23 months apart and it's been great so far. It was nice that we really weren't out of the baby stage with mini-ble1 when we had mini-ble2, so we didn't have to relearn everything. Having two is definitely much harder than having one, though.

 

[MA_PE]

my two little ones are 18 months apart. When Mrs. MA said she was expecting again, I was going just shoot myself in the foot. In hindsight, it was a great thing and I'd readily do it all over again. I watch friends going back to the diapers, etc. again after getting through that stage and I just wish them luck.

Mini-Buff 1 and Mini-Buff 2 will be 4.5 years apart. My wife and her brother are 5 years apart, I'm an only child.

this will likely be the age difference IF we have a second one. we would be in a position that I could stay home if I wanted to.

 

[envirotex]

mine are 5 years apart...it's not so bad as it seems, the little one still tries to annoy the big one for anything and everything. the second was born the year that the first went to kindergarten. it just worked out that way, the first was born while was still in school, the second was born 2 years after i graduated. for those of you who think studying for the PE exam with a small child is difficult, try going to engineering school with a toddler...good times

mr. envirotex is 10 years older than his middle brother and 14 years older than his youngest. they are all pretty close and get closer every year as the brothers grow up but his younger brothers are closer than he is with them, but he's closer with his dad than they are...but his dad is only 18 years older than he is...

This, for me. I was in denial for the first oh, five months of my second pregnancy, but once we were actually taking care of 2 under 2 it wasn't so bad. It's amazing how people can adapt to anything life throws at them.

I still want to wait a few years if we have more. Mr. YMZ wants to try for a boy, and if I give in, we'll probably wait 5 more years and then have two more kids close together in age.

So the moral of the story here is don't have kids if you want to get anything done. Got it!

No. It would be that you can do both! At least that's what every one here seems to be saying...

I'll LMAO when you accidentally get Ladyfox pregnant. Then buy you a beer to congratulate you and give you unsolicited parenting advice and make Ladyfox a diaper cake for the baby shower.

you learn quickly, grasshopper.

Right now, mini-Buff 1 is excited. I am wondering how long the excitement will last after mini-Buff 2 makes her arrival. I have the odds at +/- 2 weeks.
