I have a bunch of questions

[sunnydays]

For hand washing before meals, I take them in the bathroom where I have a small step-stool. Those 2 and up can stand on it and reach the sink and I help them wash their hands with soap and water. For the younger ones who cannot reach even on the step, I put my foot on the step stool and prop them on my knee so they can reach. It saves on the back a whole lot! For after meals and snacks each child has their own little face cloth kept in individual little plastic boxes with their cups (one cloth per child per day) which I use to wash their hands and faces.

For the nap, make sure he isn't drinking too much right before naptime and then if he normally can hold it for a couple of hours and he has peed right before nap, I would tell him he has to wait until after nap (but tell him before he starts nap so he knows he isn't getting out of quiet-time).

And for the numbers, it all depends on you! I know for myself that each time I added a new child to my numbers, things felt really crazy for a few weeks until I got the hang of it...so adding two new at once might be difficult...but again it depends on you and also on the kids you end up getting (ie. how easily they transition in...I have a 2 year old right now who is having a harder time adjusting than many of the 12 month olds I have had).
