To some extent it was like riding a bike... only it was eight years between kids. The real difference is the difference between the two kids. My son was a total breeze to look after, really quite mellow and an amazing conversationalist by the time he was two. My daughter, at two, still isn't really talking all that much and is a whirlwind of energy. She climbs and jumps and has a real stubborn streak. Like night and day in many ways.
Like you I too spend a lot of time alone with my kids. My wife teaches horseback riding and is out Monday and Wednesday nights and all day Saturday and Sunday.
When my son was young she would leave Friday afternoon and not get back until Sunday evening... every weekend.
While it really cuts into a social life, it is pretty cool to spend time with your own kids.
