[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This should be not that bad.  I wouldn't go as far to say easy...

But not "this is soooo hard" either.  I have a 2,7,9 year old now and it is a lot more work than when I had  baby and toddler. Now there is a bigger dinner needed, homework to be on top of, music and sports to be taken to..all while entertaining toddler.  And then bathing and reading, but each child does this separately now (different genders and reading levels and interests) which is time consuming and lights out.  On a smooth school night everyone is in bed by 8:30.  In the summer it can go as late at 10.

Make an easy dinner, put the baby and toddler in the bath together.  Have a bath sling for the baby in the bathtub.  Wash baby up quickly, wrap in a towel and transfer baby to a bouncer seat in the bathroom next to you while you finish up toddler bath.  Get their pjs on together.  Nurse/bottle feed baby while you read toddler a bedtime story.  Put baby in bed.  Put toddler in bed and give some extra snuggles.  Done.  Go clean the kitchen.  I would aim to have them both in bed by 7. [/quote]

I have similar ages and I think it is easier than when I had an infant and toddler. Your memory may be fuzzy.[/quote]
