Did anyone see the article in The Australian yesterday about the optimal age gap for learning? DH was telling me about it and it sounds fascinating. Going to look at it now...

FWIW, there is 7 years between my bro and I and while we don't NOT get along, we're not close. We are looking at 2-3 years between DS and any siblings, ttc willing! I think it depends. DS is hugely clingy, likes to be carried, doesn't play by himself for more than 5 minutes and that's only if I'm 2m or less away and follows me from room to room, usually asking to be picked up. And I am fine with all that. But....there is absolutely NO WAY (DS or) I could cope with another child now! If I had a more independent child, it'd be different....
