There is 18 months between my boys and i really like that gap. When #2 was born #1 still slept in the day (and still does) so i got a break and as soon as Will could sit up he became a whole lot more interesting to Oscar. They pretty much entertain themselves now (i'm not saying it's THAT easy though - lol) and play great together although do fight occasionally (but not physically yet). The only pita is having 2 in nappies so some days it feels like one long poo-fest but its worth it in my experience. Good luck
