[quote=Anonymous]First at 34, second at 38. The 3.5 year gap has been good for us. For example, first started reading and could read short books soon after second was born. We could do books on tape for the eldest while baby slept and everyone could get a nap. The non-stop just feels a bit less so when there is an older, more self-sufficient child in the mix. It has been nice to have a gap in terms of what they need, so that while the youngest was an infant the oldest was ready for full time preschool. Now that the oldest is in elementary school I can do some parent-child classes alone with youngest. They love each other and have started to play a lot more since the youngest became more verbal. Now youngest is 3 and they have pretend band practice, cuddle after school, older one reads to younger, etc. [/quote]
