[quote=Anonymous]So far a year in it's been pretty good. We do a lot of divide and conquer and it's really helpful that the older child can be very self sufficient and can play by herself or get dressed/put shoes on/fix a snack if needed. The bigger challenge has been figuring out outings with his nap schedule but fortunately he can roll with the punches around naps and has a good wake window from 8 to 10 and noon to 4:00 so we can work around that. I have another friend who has two kids with a big age gap and she basically said that the second kid is just usually along for the ride. For example when we go to the pool most of the time we are in the big pool and he occasionally gets to go in the baby pool. He seems pretty happy hanging with the big kids so it's fine[/quote]
