1->2 Transition

You may have heard that you don't become a real family until you have 2 children. When we just had 1 child, I felt somehow belittled by the comment, but now I understand. With 1 child, you can just drop them off at a sitter and almost live life as usual prior to having a child...but when you have 2 children, it becomes a little more difficult to juggle multiples schedules, especially a sleep schedule! Although children require a lot of your time and energy, they are well worth the investment and before you know it they will be all grown up.

What is your perspective about the 1->2 child transition?
