[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is certainly doable, but as your child is the older one, will you be okay with your DC and his activities being slightly limited by the younger child's needs and schedule? I'm in a share right now where the child are about 5 months apart. The younger one still takes 2 naps, and I have to choose classes and outings based on what I feel she can handle. It hasn't really been a huge issue, and even less so as they both get older, but it required some understanding on the part of the family with the older kid. [/quote]

OP here - this would be my concern, that my child may be limited in activities because of the younger one. I guess the outings would be after the younger one is finished napping, I just hope it wouldn't be a three hour nap and limit their time out. Just those sort of things.

And also, would they play together? I think most "playing" for the first year or two is parallel play in that they don't really interact together, but correct me if I'm wrong? At 2.5 she'll probably switch to preschool so I'm really just talking about the first couple of years.[/quote]
