A rather significant event in my little family has taken place. My daughter, our second child, was born earlier this month; meaning any previous pattern has gone to the birds.
Firstly, let me be clear, I’m over-the-moon about her arrival.
Thrilled.
Ecstatic.
But OMG having two children is INFINITY harder than having just one! It simply isn’t double the work, it’s SO much more than that. The arrival of a second child COMPLETELY changed our family dynamic. My two-and-a-half-year old son, has suddenly started vacillating from cherubic states of ecstasy regarding our new arrival, to demonic rages in attempts to recover his former position of top billing in this family show.
It’ll come as no shock to many, but it still needs to be said:
Having TWO young children is difficult. HUGELY so!
