I think it's ok...i have a gap of 5 years and another gap of 2.5 years, both are fine. The two brothers with 5 years apart still play together and schooling is easier for me. The 2.5 years apart is brother and sister and they play along very well!
agree...many of my friends are also supportive of having 2. it's really lonely for only 1 as you see them grow you will want to have a brother/sister for no. 1....don't let it become too late, always earlier than "older"!!!....for your info, I have 3!
