What is the reason to have a second?[/quote]

For us...our two play fantastically together.  I don't have to be the other player in board games or the bad guy in good guys vs bad guys.

They will go down in the rec room and giggle and laugh for hours while I kick back with my coffee, ipad and a newspaper.

My friends with just one are desperate for constant playdates because their kid is bored..always calling, knocking on our door.  We dont' have the same urgency to have to get another kid over.

They stick up for each other in public places (have each others backs).  On vacations--they have that instant playmate.  They learn sharing everyday and empathy because every waking minute at home somebody has something they need.  Older brother has learned great compassion for younger kids.

There will be a sibling when we are gone.

---we have 2 boys (2.5 years apart).  I am the youngest of 3.  I loved have two siblings..but my family feels complete with two....esp. given the current dynamic of my 3.5 yr old and 6 yr. old.  A new baby at this point (would be at least 4.5 y r spread btwn youngust...would require a lot more work()[/quote]
