I thought I would never do it...

It seems exponentially more difficult to get out of the house with two children (not just twice as hard). Lucy doesn't really complicate things all that much (just have to time the nursing), but having a non-talking toddler who doesn't like to hold hands or be led anywhere does. And now I really can't carry Nate into the store or therapy or wherever it is we are going, because I have to carry Lucy in her carseat. Casey and I met at Starbucks today, and though I was able to get from the car to the Starbucks carrying the carseat with one arm and (forcibly) holding Nate's hand with the other, it was difficult. So I'll admit it... I broke down and bought a harness. A child leash. I haven't used it yet, but I probably will. Poor kid. ;)

Poor Lucy caught Nate's cold! She is still able to nurse OK, and she slept pretty well overnight, so it isn't affecting her too terribly. Speaking of sleep, I'm definitely starting to miss my full nights of it! I can't complain too much, though, because Lucy does pretty well.

Child leashes. lol. It's OK Katie. he he he. I know many a people that use them! While I never needed one for Angelina, I totally agree with them! :) And, I *totally* agree it's harder to get out with 2. :)

I got one for Miles when he was at the not listening age, totally useful the two time I needed it. Peace of mind for you and boundries for him. I thought they were great the first time I saw a woman at d-land with one, you wouldn't want to take the chance of loosing your child, it can happen so fast. Who cares what people think, mommy's know best!
