    3.5yo, 2yo and NB? Am I crazy?

    @angeliabell I have a 5, 4, 3, and 1 year old. We both work as teachers and have no family help. It was a bit crazy when we had 3 under 3 and I briefly lost my mind.

    Who should share a room?

    Age gap between #2 and #3?

    @jojoz I did 3 under 3. (12 month gap between 1&2, 15 month gap between 2&3). If you are already doing 2 under 2, you can handle it. You’ll have at least two years of pure chaos but it get significantly easier
