Our daughters are 1 and 2 years old. They are about 11.5 months apart in age.

Yes there are difficult days but I love that they are so close in age. I think the pluses outweigh the negatives for me. I've seen my older daughter become more adventurous with her food choices since the arrival of her sister and more willing to play on her own. I've also seen the arrival of temper tantrums and the terrible twos.

Our younger daughter loves to copy our 2 year old, which I'm sure happens with most younger siblings but is still fun to see. I definately see them both learning from each other.
