So earlier today I was going to put Eloise on my back so she could nap. However Desmond saw the carrier and insisted that he needed to be carried in it. Rather then deal with a tantrum and other assorted two year old behaviors, I decided to wear him on my back. I still needed to wear Eloise though since she still needed her nap and wasn’t going down nursing or any other way. So since I had a Mei Tai and Dan’s Calyx in the living room I decided to put her on my front. It was actually surprisingly comfortable to carry both of them and the 45 pounds of them was well distributed and didn’t bother me at all. Desmond eventually decided to go down after about an hour, but I have to say it was remarkably easier then I was expecting to carry them both and it worked well, Eloise got her nap and Desmond got his snuggle time on my back and didn’t feel left out.

I took a few pictures, but since I had to do them in the bathroom so I could get our reflection in the mirror, they didn’t turn out well in color, they work okay in black and white though so I’ll post them. I was just wearing a tank top since I figured two on me was going to be a bit toasty and I was right.

Overall, it was an experiment that worked out and I’ll do again, if I need to carry Eloise for her nap and Desmond wants up as well. I am really glad we had decent carriers I could do this with.
