Mine were (are, lol) 19 months apart. I was very lucky because I had a needy one (DD) and an independent one (DS). DD was obsessive about books, while DS was obsessive about mechanical/electronic things. As a result we spent much of our time with DD and books on my lap and DS and toys on the floor at my feet. He loved anything with movable parts that you could take apart, as well as anything countable, as well as electronic phonics stuff like the word whammer and the alphabet pal. Neither one was keen about messy stuff (i.e. finger painting) so that made life easier.
