Who do you think is easier to manage: a toddler or a newborn?
Things to keep in mind:
~There is a difference btwn individual newborns...case in point, Ethan was a lot more difficult as a newborn than Ella was (same goes for toddlers).
~Things that are easy to manage with toddlers are harder with newborns (sleep) and vice versa (independence).
~Newborn phase really only lasts about 4 months, toddlerhood lasts about a year/year and a half.
~Toddlers can verbally communicate their wants (although it may not be what YOU want), whereas newborns use crying as their primary method of communicating (eventhough it seems toddlers only have tantrums and whining as their means to communicate).
~Toddlers throw food when they are mad but newborns spit up food all over you.
I saw this post on another blog and wanted to hear you opinion. I sure have one.

Toddlers hands down are more difficult they are toddlers for a lot longer and newborns sleep so much more!
I second Melissa's answer! Besides, newborns can't walk or crawl anywhere, and if they cry too much, you just feed them or change them or hold them and they're usually fine! Try holding a squirmy toddler when they're throwing a fit - it's even worse if you have to change their diaper!!!
