We also did a lot of fun messy things during naps like science experiments and painting. And we'd take walks around town with DS2 sleeping in a carrier. Then DS1 could ride his strider and get all the pent up energy out and we would stop at the library which was always super special for DS1 even though we went multiple times a week.

Re: Sibling relationship
You have lots of great advice for the transition part of things. As far as the hate thing goes......
I spent a ton of time "hating my brother" right up til my teens. So we thing happened when we got older. We sort of just clicked. Now he isn't best friend and I was his honour attendant. I think that when we are kids an we spend intense amounts of time with each other there can be resentment. My boys go from telling each other they are the worst to "you're my best brother"

I actually found it was easier with a tiny baby to have time with dd - ds2 just came along for the ride (in the Beco, particularly), and it was easy to read or color or play a game with dd while ds2 nursed. It's more difficult now that ds2 is older and wants to do everything dd does. We have special dd/mommy time most days, when ds2 naps. Not usually the whole nap - even just 20-30 minutes helps; then dd either has quiet rest time and I get some computer work done, or she helps me with any chores I couldn't get finished while ds2 was awake. And I totally missed your announcement.

Re: Sibling relationship
I guess it's because Ivy was the champion of twenty minute cat naps on me that I don't really think about nap time. Or maybe that is why I am not sure how I am going to carve out time for Ivy, if the baby does not nap, then what.

Re: Sibling relationship
I love this thread. My dd was an extremely difficult baby and I have the same fears as op about adding another.
