[quote=Anonymous]I have 8mo and 3.5yo, so somewhat similar to OP. When I'm taking care of both of them we do well with just sitting on our front porch- 8mo is happy watching cars/dogs/people while 3.5yo plays with his trucks in the dirt, and it's pleasant for me. The pool, aquarium, zoo are pretty fun for everyone too, although more hassle involved. Outdoor gatherings where the 3.5yo can run around with the other kids while the 8mo plays with toys on a blanket and I sip wine and chat to other parents are ok. But anything where the primary goal is seeing other adults ends up being a bit of a disappointment bc I am constantly distracted by the kids' needs and I don't feel like I'm fully present. Restaurants or other outings where the kids need to sit still/be quiet are always a roll of the dice[/quote]
