Hi, sounds like your 2 boys are doing really well and with two that age no wonder you don't have much time to post and reply . Sounds like you have about a 2 year age gap, we are currently thinking about having a 2 year age gap between children, maybe you can advise me how it's been for you? Things like toilet training one while weaning another

My little boy is 1 in less than 2 weeks and starts nursery part time this week and I go back to work. He's had his first settling in session without me today which went ok until they tried to get him to sleep after his bottle. Being put into a different cot didn't go down well. Hope he's better there tomorrow.

Welcome back
Your boys sound like they are really coming along Natalie.
Things are the usual madness here.
Ella was 3 beginning of the month. She is nuts She starts nursery next Wednesday and believe me cannot come quick enough. She never shuts up - if she not just talking for talking's sake, she is re-telling whichever story has taken her fancy that day (often re-tells us it 15 times in 10 mintues argh)
The twins are 11 months old and wild. Both are crawling about and using whatever solid (or not so solid) object to pull themselves to standing. They cruise about the furniture so dont think it will be long till they up and walking.
Oh and they all eat for Britain - honestly cant keep up with how much they eat. Glad going back to work soon to pay for the sheer amount of food I need in this house with 3 constantly starving girls.

Welcome back Natalie
Glad to hear the boys are doing so well! Can't believe how old they are it doesn't seem 5 minutes since you posted that you were pregnant

We're all good here too, Lewis will be 3 in may and he never shuts up lol! Loves playing with cars and creating havoc but he's happy! Si works on the rigs now so works away 2 weeks of every month but were getting used to it!

Hope to see you about soon

ye the is 22 months between them and it is a great gap. darren started potty training in may 11 when ben was 3 months old and took to it like a duck to water. potty training goes well aslong as the child is ready then they basically do it themselves.

darren absoloutly loves his brother, was really gentle as a baby and now that he is getting older realises that he can play but remembers hes still smaller than him so knows to be careful too! a smaler gap would probably be hard work but at 20 months understands that little bit more. good luck if u decide to try xx
