Maybe my situation is different coz IO have a 7.5 month old & a 7.5 year old...
But I can honestly say having the huge gap ATM is a poure breeze, Maddy can entertain & even feed iNdah whilst I am showering, tidying, getting readyetc...
Maddy can read books to Indah & move her when she has crawled toward stuff..
Maddy spends the whole time asking me if she can do this or that with Indah, or put her here or there or whatever... Indah smiles the minute she sees Maddy & is so excited when Maddy talks to her...
They may be 7 yrs apart, but I think they'll get on fine... HavinG the big age gap is a bonus ATM, who knows in 5 or 10 yrs time... But hopefully in 12ish months we will have #3, so then I can tell you what 2 far apart & 2 close together are like!!!!
