Finding The Perfect Stroller for Two is a Tough Job!!

So I was on yet another search for finding a stroller which would fit all of my needs with my two boys. My needs have shifted a bit and the strollers I ended up with from my previous stroller searches did not suit all of my needs any longer. Here are my two previous reviews ( The Perfect Stroller For Two ), and (Another Stroller Hunt)I know some of you must think I am out of my mind. I have returned one stroller, sold 2, gave 1 to a family member and I have 4 left at my house including my most recent purchase. Also I have 1 more due to arrive, which is free with the purchase of my new franchise (Stroller Strides). Here is the way I think of it is I will only have my two boys once, so I need to do whatever it takes to be sure I am totally happy with whatever stroller(s) I choose. I know I will always have more then one too.

SO I bought the Phil and Teds Stroller with the Doubles seat from my original review. I Love it. I still love my other two also but this one allows me to fit anywhere a single stroller can fit too. It fits great in my car and both of my boys love it! Here are the only things I would change about the stroller are the handle. I wish it hung out past the stroller 5 or 6 more inches, so that I could have less of a chance to kick the baby in the back seat. When he is reclined in the back add on seat I do sometime tap him when I am in a rush, but not bad enough to deter me from using it. Also I wish I could keep the back seat attached and fold the stroller up.. Right now I have to remove the seat, which is super easy and fast to do but for convenience sake I wish I didn't have too. The seat is connected by sliding it onto to poles and one pin clicks into place on each side.. To remove it you push in the pins and slide the seat off. It takes less time to do this and fold the stroller then it does to fold some of the others I have used , but a girl can still dream right :)?

Leaking Stool Again! YUCK!

Here is the latest. Landon is "leaking" stool again! His belly gets really hard and distended and he is so uncomfortable; refluxing a ton, crying and not eating or sleeping. I am giving him about an ounce of prune juice in every third bottle if he will even take any. He has had some explosions that were really watery at the end so I am guessing that is the prune juice. He sees the Pedi G.I. again tomorrow. It is just so odd because he had been fine for almost 5 weeks and then slowly started getting backed up again. He is still monster sized about 16 pounds at 4 months so his size is great :) I'll update again when I know more..

I do know that Logan had issues too as a baby baby. he built up an intolerance to milk . We switched to soy and in about 3 weeks he built up an intolerance to soy too. By 10 months he was fine but he was on Prilosec for painful reflux and hypoallergenic formula for the milk and soy issues. Now he drinks milk no problem and has no reflux. He just refuses to eat veggies LOL Such a toddler.

Another Odd Dog Post

I haven't blogged about my dog "Ben the Bichon" in a while. I was sitting here watching him be smothered by my toddler and listening to the racket thinking this is odd. Ben (the dog) has this odd behavior. When Logan (the toddler)runs over to him and puts him in the normal head or body lock squeeze, Ben (the dog) growls. He doesnt bite or scratch he just stiffens up waits for the attack of the toddler and growls. After Logan (the toddler) releases, Ben (the dog) moves closer to him and stiffens to wait for more abuse. It is rally just an odd transaction between the two.

I Can Only Focus on One Thing at a Time

I used to be a much better multi-tasker. Then I had kids! I can't seem to keep up with everything I am a part of.. Blogs, message boards, websites, house cleaning, laundry, errands, working out, catching up with friends. About the only thing I do and keep up with is care for my boys :) I defiantly can never have more babies. I am just not built to have more then I do now :) One for each hand I say.

Caring for 4 Babies!!!

I must be crazy!
ok so it was not my idea so I am only taking part of the blame. A friend of mine thought it would be a good idea to "trade" kids for a day each week or so. So I take her babies one day and she takes mine the following time.
She has twin girls born the same day as Logan. So we had a few "get togethers" to get to know each others kids and let the kids play. that went well so today was the first try at "trading". The girls came here. All was great for the first hour while the baby slept and I kept them involved in activities: playing with a bowl of rice, markers and crayons, stories, snack time, and playing catch with a ball. After the baby woke up things got a bit hectic.
Let me set the scence.
Kids climbing on the back of my couch, rice all over the floor, toys strewn around, babies whining, crackers all over the place, drippy snoogy noses, and tantrums over sharing toys.

I put away all the activities that require close supervision (rice bowl, coloring, crackers) and that was a bit hard for them to take.. throwing and digging in the rice was too much fun.

Now they had apparently nothing better to do then steal toys from one another. It was amusing. I only managed to change one diaper. Every time I turned around someone was fighting or climbing on something unsafe.
Over all they did well. I mean for 3 toddlers (19 months old)all in a small space having to share and taking turns.

After the two hours I was convinced I will never open a daycare :) . Nursery school maybe~~ I like setting up activities and having a bit more structure to the day.
