Big Brother Class

Collin took the Big Brother Class at the hospital a couple weeks ago.

He was SOOO excited. He "learned" lots of things like how to hold a

baby, not to pick up baby without permission, how to put on & take

off a diaper, and how to swaddle/wrap up a baby. He didn't like holding

the baby because "it was heavy & it hurt my arm." He liked wrapping

the baby up in the blanket. When it came time for the diaper removal,

he only removed one side of the diaper tab & pulled the diaper

off going down the leg. Good thing it was just pretend & not

a real dirty diaper. I don't see him changing diapers anyway.

When the class was over, we got to tour the nursery. He got to see a 2

day old newborn. He thought that was pretty neat. He kept saying "the

baby smiled at me." It was cute.

He is all ready to be a big brother & is SOOO excited that it is

almost time. Everytime I have a doctor's appointment he asks me "Is

Avery going to be born today?" I told him we will make a calendar in a

few days so he can mark off the days until the big arrival.
