I had to share this little story even though there are no pictures to go along with it.
I signed Max up for a Super Siblings class last Monday.
The goal was to give him an idea of what was going to happen and how to help when the baby comes. It went over things like holding the baby, feeding, diapers, toys etc...then finished with a tour of the hospital room I would be staying in and the nursery.
Max of course was the youngest in the class by a couple of years but Jared and I feel that it has been really important to keep him in the loop every step of the way. No Surprises!
After class I told Max he had a special prize waiting for him at home....a baby doll that he could play with while mommy and daddy do what they need to with the real thing.
Max's reaction was classic:
I went upstairs to collect the doll and Max asked if he was getting a truck or something...
he took one look at the doll, then looked at me with the best facial expression "What the @$*& is this" He then proceeded to have the doll kick his cars and then threw it in the baby swing saying "this doll is stupid"!
I guess you really cant take the boy out of boys :)
