praparing for a sibling

Other ways that I have found to help prepare a child for a sibling include talking and reading about the upcoming addition of a sibling. Of course a young child has no real concept of what is about to happen, but talking about it and reading stories about it can help to make the adjustments easier. Helping to pick out nursery items, clothes and toys can make big brother/big sister feel included in the process. It is fun to hear his/her ideas for baby names too! Our friends' three year old wanted to name his brother "Sky Train"! Building these bonds in preparation for a new addition to your family can help to strengthen bonds and prepare the older child for the changes ahead.

shopping for maternity clothes?

If you are welcoming a new little one to your family, it is sometimes hard to get the big brother/sister excited and prepared for the new addition. Not to mention that you have no time to take a youngster and go out shopping for maternity clothes! But if you could do your shopping online and have your older child help you pick out some of your new "mommy wear" it could make maternity shopping easier on you and a great way to spend time getting your older child involved. This seems to be the perfect way to grab clothes you will need for the next few months. And even better, there are prices starting at just $9.99 with free shipping for orders over $75 using the coupon code: freeship!!
