Happy birthday, Emma! My first brother and I are two years, two months apart (I'm the elder) so I can attest that it's a good gap - wide enough so there's not so much competition, but small enough that you still like to play the same games together.

And I know what you mean about wanting a cuddly little infant - I've got a fair amount of that; sometimes I look at Daniel and think "Thtois kid is HUGE! What happened to my little vermilion infant?" Oh well - at least we have him, and that's a lot.
