[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's unreasonable, but you have to work to get it to run smoothly. I have a 3yo and 1yo (exactly 2 years difference between them, so I'm guessing around the same as your kids), and we are out and about most days - picnics, splash park, playgrounds, just a long stroller/scooter walk. But I was only able to start doing it when the baby was 8mo or so. Before it was way too tricky with feeding and naps, and the baby absolutely hated being dressed in 50 layers and tucked into the stroller so it took forever, by which point the toddler would have been completely sweated through and gearing for a tantrum, so it was really too much hassle and tears for us to go on an outing. The summer is so much better! Though now my baby is starting to walk and it's a whole other headache, running after them both, but it's certainly doable. I just wouldn't come to it from the point of view 'if you can't do it you're fired'. Work with the nanny and show her the ropes. You're obviously able to take them both out twice a day without a problem, so have the new nanny shadow you for a day and show her exactly all your tricks. No one knows your kids better than you, so help her - and it will benefit all of you.[/quote]
