[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids 3ish years apart and while many of the challenges listed here are true, I found the biggest challenge just that of going back to the sleep deprivation etc.  But I feel the need to put some people who are having or considering a second at ease.  I thought the change from 0 to 1 to be much much harder than 1 to 2.  I am so so happy we have two.  They are so different and so wonderful.  And their relationship with each other is amazing (and yes, sometimes frustrating) to watch. Our older child adjusted well to having a sibling.  And they have generally gotten along since they could play together.  They are now 7 and 4 and though they fight and have different needs, they play together A LOT.  Like, I can sit around and read and they are playing with each other.  The older one reads stories to the younger.  They come up with performances together to show us.  They create room decorations together etc etc etc.  I am not sure how their relationship will change but they really seem to love and like each other.  And in some respects their companionship makes things easier for us.  [/quote]
