Benefits

Some benefits of having two kids:

1. Jack's crying sends her to sleep; Lillian's screaming sends him to sleep (currently in progress). However, Jack's crying wakes her up; Lillian's screaming wakes him up.
2. Lillian is a big help in entertaining Jack: dancing, singing, making him laugh, even reading a book to him.
3. Lillian realizes Mama has other duties besides maintaining her busyness and happiness.
4. You always have something to do or in my case, to avoid doing. Cleaning, singing, feeding, cooking, walking, playing, driving, bouncing, reading, playing, feeding, cleaning, reminding, disciplining, cleaning, chasing, playing, reading, singing, sleeping...
5. It takes twice as long to get ready which you always forget and therefore become known as the perpetually late person - especially by your husband. If only he would learn how to fix L's hair, things would move along faster.
6. You spend a lot of time remembering what it was like with just one, or none.

I'll think of more and perhaps add to it later. Feel free to help.
