When we learned that our fourth child was going to be a boy, we were excited that Daniel would have a little brother to play with. Then I did some simple math, and realized that Daniel would start second grade before Todd could even talk. With a five-year age difference, would they ever really play together?
Lately, I've been very happy to find that the answer is "yes."
Daniel loves to make up games, and Todd loves to play them. Sometimes Daniel makes the rules a little too challenging because forgets he's dealing with someone much younger, but most of the time they have fun together.
I don't get how most of their made-up games work, but I'm so glad that each of our sons has a brother who not only understands but enjoys the same things he does.
