The number one reason to have a second kid....

...so that when your older one is driving you nuts and thinks that everything you do is wrong, you have someone who laughs and delights in your every move.  Even Charlotte's tantrums are adorable and cute these days... This logic probably does not apply to third and subsequent kids quite as much because the older ones drive you so nuts that any reprieve you could get from a third, etc would not overcome the deleterious effects of the older two.

On the bright side, yesterday was a very good day with Elisabeth.  She was a very good girl and made it all the way through bedtime without issue.  Here's hoping it is a trend??  So far this morning, no outrageous lies.  We've been outside cleaning up the flood plain this morning, maybe the fresh air will be good for her.
