Yeah, I love watching the 2 of them play together.. well, as much as an 8 mth old can play at the moment hehe. And I can't wait until they really can amuse themselves together.. will keep DS out of my hair a bit! It's hard trying to get things done and getting him to amuse himself, so once DD is a bit bigger they can go and play (or fight if truth be known LOL) on their own sometimes.

But there are soooo many family combinations.. numbers of siblings, different age gaps etc etc.. but they all seem to work And you find that a lot of people wish for more or less siblings regardless. I have an older brother (5yrs older) and I often wished our ages were closer so we could have hung out more together socially, or that I had a sister closer in age. People from large families can want less, or people from small familes can want a huge tribe. I'm sure you'll find what feels right for your family and make it work
