One of the things that's different with the second child is understanding issues sooner. Looking back at videos of Alice I can take one look at her and know that she's tired, but it takes me a minute or 2 to figure it out in the video. I guess it's just practice / experience.
Now when Isaac is pawing at his door from the hallway, that probably means that he wants his diaper changed. When he is starry, that probably means he's super tired. When he's bashing two things together and making lots of nose, he's probably having the time of his life.
I'm starting to learn that being a good parent is less about doing and more about observing and learning.
