I think that's great advice, Lefty...
Mine are now 7 and 10 and I still never leave them home alone together. We let our 10 year old stay home for 1/2 hour to 2 hours alone. Next school year, we'll let him come straight home and be alone from 3 to 6pm.
My main concern with the 1.5 and 4 year old scenerio is the 1.5 is still putting stuff in mouth and the 4 year old isn't old enough to do anything about it. I've had to clear the airways of a choking toddler before, very scary thing.
