2 under 2 - Siblings

I get a lot of questions from people on how to manage 2 babies under 2 years old.  I usually laugh - thinking to myself - I can barely manage to remember to brush my hair most days...let alone manage the two of them.  But in reality, I do manage them - to the best of my ability.  I would be lying if I said that there weren't days when one of them ate lunch in their pajamas, that Gabby somedays watches 2,3 or 4 too many episodes of Dora the Explorer, that I feel extreme guilt around Drake and the whole "2nd child syndrome" and lastly that if I admitted it to myself, I just dont have enough hands to fully give them all of the attention they need at their ages.  However, this is why there is joy in siblings....because what I don't give them - they get from eachother.  I say this as I witnessed it first-hand today - a true exchange of sibling love....

Gabby shoved a puzzle piece directly in Drake's mouth - and he took it without hesitation, and ate it.
