Over the past week was have gone though some great suggestions and products to help prepare your child for the arrival of your new baby. Here are some other great items that can help as well!
There's a Brand-New Baby at Our House and I'm the Big Brother is a wonderful book for your little girl (Big Sister version also) or little boy. This book is filled with interactive book that is great for the younger "big" sibling. The Big Brother/Sister gets to tell their story about the new arrival. Including they their favorite toys, bedtime, growing up, favorite, books, and bible stories. This is an excellent gift for the Big Brother or Sister to be. We will be giving our copy to Little Man at the hospital.
Another great gift that you can buy or even make if you are crafty is this great Crayon Keeper. You can find them all over the Internet. This with some paper or coloring book will help keep your Big Brother or Sister occupied at the hospital or even at home. You can have it personalized with their name to make them feel extra special.
There are many great products to buy or make out there to help your Big Brother or sister feel extra special on the day their new little baby arrives. The biggest thing we have learned with Little Man is to tell him all about what is happening. Where we will go and where he will go. He has lots of questions that we try to answer, in a not too "technical" way.
Good luck with your ventures in parenting and motherhood and with your new arrival!
