So we had Caitlin first before we had Caleb. It’s a 3 year 2 months gap between them. Boys mature slower than girls. This is quite evident; individual personalities and characters aside. When Hot Mummee was pregnant the first time, I had quietly wished that our first one would a boy. This isn’t a tightly-held [...]
