So I'm now a mother of two monsters. One child was easy. She was an independent child who was low maintenance as far as supervision went. I could leave her in a room with glass tables, un-baby proofed electrical sockets and knives on a table and she would stay out of it. She would sit and do whatever appropriate activity she had.
My son however... We had to put bumpers on the edge of the tables, covers over the oven knobs, drawer locks throughout the whole house, and cabinet locks everywhere! I also have to push everything as far back on the counter as possible. He climbs tables, chairs, the back of couches, the dog, anything he can get ontop of. I am so glad I had C first. She was my easy baby. Now I have a monkey. And it is exhausting.

So when I am not chasing him around to get him out of trouble or redirect his attention, I am listening to him squeal because C doesn't want him playing with her things. She will run across the house to take a pony from him. And heaven forbid he touch her Monster High dolls. Now this leads to mommy wanting to pull her hair out over the weekends. I cannot imagine how it is for mothers with children closer together. I at least get 8-9 hours a day where C is at school and all is peaceful.

Poor B, he just wants to play with his sisters super cool things! But they do get along pretty well sometimes. She'll play with him every now and then and help him with things. I enjoy when she isn't yelling and crying over him using her things. That happens far less though.
