Every time you write something positive about Noah and Madison’s age gap it makes me happy. Unless I get pregnant this month Liam will be (at least) four by the time he gets a sibling, which is obviously a bigger gap than I had planned. But the fact that Noah and Madison seem to get along so well with a much larger gap than that - also true of some of the other commenters - takes a very little bit of the pressure off.

I cannot believe how Madison has grown. Noah too. I could cry they’re both so gorgeous.

I find myself watching my son and daughter roughhousing together… thinking my daughter is just a little baby - and fragile. Then she growls, pounces on my son and fiercly attacks him while squealing in delight - dishing out as good as she gets.

Yeah. I think she’ll survive.

It’s amazing how fierce the little sisters can be when there’s a big brother to keep up with.

Very persuasive, Dawn. You are sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.

And that book with little hands and feet sticking out is too cute for words.

i really enjoy reading about your family dynamic with a larger sibling age gap: my girl will be almost 7 when #2 is set to arrive. i’ll admit to mourning over the loss of this arbitrary ideal i had programmed in my head, that siblings do best when they’re but a few short years apart. but the more i think about it, the more i read, the more i realize that every family is different and certainly age gaps have advantages that i never even considered before.

Thanks for the giggles this afternoon. Reminds me of my brothers, sister and I growing up.
