Big Sibling Class

So yesterday was a big day for Aiden. We went to the hospital where I'm going to deliver and attended a sibling class. There were 2 other kids with us, and they were all about the same age. We had to bring a doll or teddy bear from home to "practice" on-and I decided on a doll because it's more realisitc. The only one I had was one of my favorites from when I was a little girl...so that is his new "Dolly" :) Funny thing is that we used "Dolly" for his potty training where she was a "big girl" and now we are reverting back to she's a baby...I tried to avoid confusion by removing the dress and bonet she wore during potty training and putting a onsie on for baby mode.
Anyway-it was a great experience for him, and he loves to take care of Dolly right now. Today I found her in the baby's swing-so cute :)

Here she is measuring how much bigger Aiden is compared to how big the baby will be

Aiden is practicing holding Dolly

Aren't they cute? We visited a room so they could see where we would be staying

all of us together

We stopped by the nursery and they saw a real baby :)

I love that they have the windows down low so they can see

We went back to the room and the kids made Birthday cards for their new babies. Aiden is showing off his to Pumpkin :)

Aiden graduated! He's going to be the best big brother :) and all the way home he kept saying "I can't wait to be a big brother" :)
