[quote=Anonymous]When they were around 1-2 and 3.  I have two boys.  They are 2.5 years apart and incredibly close.  They were always sitting on top of one another and had the same interests.  They play the same sport. They had almost their own language.  They made up characters and goofy voices.  Even now at 15 and 17 (Fresh. and Junior) when they have been apart--out with their own friends or at school when they reunite it's crazy laughter and one can't wait to show the other something.

We are really lucky that they have such a tight bond.  They can have a fight now or then or annoy the other, but they really are very close.

I just kind of threw them in the same camps as kids to make my job easier for pick-ups/drop-offs, etc. and I was lucky they seemed to have the same interests.

They look very much alike, but actually their personalities are quite different.   The older one has always been more cautious, quieter until you know him and less of a risk taker.  The younger one is one big ball of energy with a smile ear-to-ear and a risk-taker.  The younger one is much more into what he's wearing, has his pulse on the latest thing and the older one could care less and is much less concerned with what other people think.  I think they compliment each other well.

I think if their birth order were reversed it would be a completely different relationship.  The older one has the patience of a saint so tolerated the younger one at his most annoying and temperamental.

Lately, due to Final 4 they are in the driveway at the basketball hoop like when they were little as soon as they come through the door.  They had all kinds of made up games with rules down in the basement as kids.  Before bed they both get insanely hyper and one is hiding to jump out at the other or has a nerf gun or ball and it's like they were 6 again.  The younger one is going to miss big bro when he leaves for college in a year.[/quote]
