Downsides??? Hmmmmm...... Maybe the day I'm having right now. Both boys awake (and up!) far far too early (5.40am), both cranky as they need more sleep. Both played up while grocery shopping but I had to go as there is nothing in the house at all. Neither would eat lunch (tiredness to blame again i imagine) Now I'm trying to settle both for a well needed nap and I'm going from one room to the other and back again as they both scream for 'mummy' ......and hubby may only just make it home for a story and maybe 15 mins tops with them. In a nutshell the downsides are days like this that go from the moment they wake until they go to bed again at night. Days like this can almost send you insane!
In saying that - all I need is one good day and I can forget about all those bad days.
Ahhhhhh silence. While I've been writing this they have gone to sleep. See - all worth it!
