Pros: It's easier to deal with newborn bc #1 is more independent. I think there's less rivalry with this age gap bc #1 is less of a baby when #2 comes along. Cons: The only one I've found so far is that it takes longer for them to be able to play together. Oh, and #1 has a lot of stuff I've had to keep away from #2 (chokable toys, markers, etc.). Mine are almost 6 and almost 3 now, and I love the 3-year gap! [ Reply | More ]

Pro: one is a senior in high school when the other one is a freshman. Con: the first one is old enough to realize the second one is stepping on toes (competition) [ Reply | More ]
