mamaandmore, I am anxiously awaiting the time when my younger DD is able to play with her older sister more (without trying to eat everything!). I'm glad to hear you say 15-18 mo seems to be that magical age because that means it shouldn't be too far off now. Since DD-almost-1 started crawling and getting into DD3's toys, it's been a bit of a battle between the two. DD3 tries to play with her little sister sometimes, but it just doesn't quite work out yet. I think when they do start playing more together, it will be a win-win for everyone -- DD1 will be occupied, DD3 gets to show off everything she can do and I can actually get some stuff done around the house without two constant shadows!
