When your kids hit the after school activity age, thing get busy in a hurry. Your daughter has ballet, softball, and karate while your son needs to get to his music lessons, basketball practice. Add all your regular shopping needs and the PTA meeting you’re hosting, and you have got to keep a ton of stuff organized. Whatever calendar system you use, you love it and know that its the key to the land of sanity.
当孩子到了上学的年纪，匆忙的事情就有很多。女儿要学芭蕾，垒球和空手道，但是儿子需要去上音乐课，联系打篮球。加上所有需要你定期采购，有你主持的家长会，你必须得把所有的事情都安排有序。所以不管是哪种日历你都喜欢，而且也明白那是把所有杂乱无章的事情弄得有条理的关键。
2. You realize sleep is a precious commodity
你发现睡眠是种很珍贵的东西
Keeping up with one kiddo can really drain you. This is especially true when your offspring are very young. Add a toddler to the household of a newborn and suddenly parents start to forget what sleep can feel like. But oh, when they find a moment to snooze it can be so wonderful.
照顾一个孩子就能让你筋疲力尽。你的孩子还非常小的时候这点就更真实。再加上一个蹒跚学步的孩子，父母一下子就开始遗忘睡觉的感觉了。但是，当他们找到一个了可以小睡的时间就会感觉特别良好。
3. You are filled with joy when your kids play together
和孩子们一起玩耍的时候充满欢乐
One of the best parts of having more than one child is seeing them interact. Sure this can seem negative when they are pulling each other’s hair and playing tag in the aisles of the grocery store, but in those moments where they are sharing their favorite toy and laughing together at the silly cartoon, you know that this is what its all about. Nothing can fill the heart faster than watching two of your kids be kind to each other.
有不止一个孩子的好处之一就是看他们的互动。当看着他们撕扯着对方的头发，在杂货铺的货架上打上自己的标记的时候会觉得很不好，但是当看着他们互相分享自己喜欢的玩具，一起看着幼稚的动画傻笑的时候，你知道这就是一切了。没什么能比看着你的两个孩子友好的对待对方更能填满你的心田的了。
4. You love buying in bulk
你喜欢大量的买东西
Fortunately, buying in bulk decreases the number of trips dramatically. Who wants to spend time walking through the laundry soap aisle when you could be having princess tea time with your kids?
万幸的是，一次买很多会大大的减少购买的次数。毕竟当你可以和孩子共享珍贵的下午茶时间的时候谁还愿意在买肥皂的通道里溜达？
