You can ask as many different "easier or harder" questions that you can think of and I am always going to say that it is easier when they get older.
For me, I love when they are both running around. I may be a bit stressed in certain situations outside of the house (like any time I have to go somewhere that my younger one isnt contained in a stroller), but I used to be stressed when he was a baby that he would just start screaming and crying. I can totally deal with tantrums. For some reason, I am not the best at dealing with the newborn stuff.
I love that my kids play together now. Sure, they fight too but its fine, that doesnt bother me. They can both talk to me now and tell me what they want or need. And since they are so close in age everything is age appropriate for both of them. We went to the Children's Museum this weekend and they loved the same things.
I am not the best at explaining things...but hands down everything is easier now than it was when they were baby/toddler!
I'm not there yet, but I think certain things will be easier/certain things will be harder when DD is a toddler.
For example, we have a pass to a private club that has a beach/swimming pool/playground. It is a royal PITA now to go with DD who still needs her infant seat so she has somewhere to sit so I'm lugging that around while moving DS from activity to activity.
However, I dread going to places like the zoo/mall/etc when they're both toddlers. It's hard enough chasing just DS, and I cant imagine when there's 2 running in opposite directions. I will definitely be walking one of them on a leash, not going to lie!

I'm asking now because DD looks like she is almost ready to WALK! WTH?! She is cruising like a champ and standing unassisted for longer and longer periods everyday. I swear one of these days she is going to just stand up in the middle of the room and walk away!
