Mine weren't that close together, but here's why I like having them 3 years apart...... I always wanted a 2 year age gap, but that didn't happen, but I'm kinda glad now.
Lucas goes to nursery for 3 hours a day. He didn't start going until Logan was about 6 months though, but that was actually quite nice, because as you know it's kinda hard to get out the house sometimes when you have a newborn. But I definitely like the age gap, because Lucas is old enough to do a lot of things himself and understand things like when you tell him he has to be quiet because Logan is sleeping or he has to be careful with Logan cause he's little. To be honest, I was scared that I wouldn't remember what to do with a tiny baby because it had been so long! - what also helps is that Lucas was potty trained about 3 months or so before Logan was born, so only 1 child in nappies, which I think is nice. (still wears a nappy at night though)
