Stymied

I can't decide if I want Liam and Dash to be on the same schedule. They're actually doing fairly well at night- they always go at least six hours between eating after they first go to bed and I can usually count on at least a three hour chunk of sleep before one of them fusses.

What's hard is during the day, when I'm on my own.

If they nap and wake together

Pro: I can get sleep and do chores during their naps

Con: It's really hard to entertain two babies at once- playing with one often means ignoring the other (not really "ignoring," but that's what it feels like when I'm not super hands-on). So I become stymied. Usually it devolves into soothing alternately fussy babies until they fall asleep.

If one sleeps while they other's awake

Pro: I can guiltlessly play with one baby while the other snoozes away.

Con: It makes it really hard to get anything done since there's never a break!

I'm not sure which I prefer. It's not simple having two little babes. But it's a challenge I'm so happy to face- I love both boys so so much.
