Jaidan and Chase are 14 months apart. I love the small age gap, while it was hard being pregnant and looking after a bub, and the first few months after I had Chase were a blur, I wouldn't change it for the world. They are close, good mates, keep eachother amused which is handy for mum, and are just a breeze to look after. On the other hand they are also cheeky and get up to mischief together!
Then when Chase was 3.5 along came Ashton. I love love love having a big gap and only one 'baby' to look after! It's wonderful spending time with him without the other 2 boys fighting for my attention. They appreciate that mummy needs to feed/bath/change/play with their brother and they are great little helpers! They just adore him (and I have a million photos to prove it lol) and are fantastic when it comes to 'helping' mummy by playing with him, talking to him, and just keeping him amused while I do some housework or something of the sort. THey are so protective of their brother too, it's very cute! They go to their dads house once a fortnight and the first thing they do when they walk in the door isn't saying "hello" to mummy, it's running to their baby brother and calling him a cheeky boy, telling him how much they missed him, kissing him and giving him HUGE hugs. It's so sweet.
So while I love the gap with the older 2, I also appreciate the gap of 3.5 years and the time I get to spend with Ashton, which I feel I missed out on with Jaidan and Chase.
