[quote=Anonymous]I have the 5 year age gap twice.  My kids are all very close.  Our lifestyle very  much catered to the older kids in that we didn't want to miss out on all of the fun things they could do just because we had a baby.  So ours were good travelers from a young age.  They could sleep anywhere - with one of those places being a baby backpack, fortunately.  And, now that the youngest is home, it's all about her, which she loves.

The downside is that I had more than a decade of toys cluttering my living room.  I thought that play kitchen would never leave.  I never had two kids in the same school at the same time - but also didn't have two post high school educations at the same time.  By the time the younger kids are ready for activities, the older ones could drive.  Made for many more opportunities for the younger ones because we are a two working parent household and before having a driver, the kids couldn't do afterschool activities that started before 6 pm.

Congratulations![/quote]
