Guess what, everyone? Today was my mom’s baby shower and it was SO much fun! We played games, we ate delicious treats (we had the whole thing catered by La Soufflé) and my mom got a TON of cute gifts. You should see some of the baby clothes! They’re SO tiny. She got mostly green and yellow things, because we don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. My aunt (my mom’s sister) thinks it’s DEFINITELY a girl, but I don’t know. I keep switching between boy and girl! What I DO know is that my mom said in about a month or so the baby will be here, so we have to be ready for him or her. What does that mean? Well, she said we should pick up a few more baby clothes, some diapers, a baby bathtub and a few other things. We’re going to go to the store after school gets out for the summer. I can’t wait!
If you guys could tell me one thing about taking care of babies (something that would help me be a better big sister), what would it be?
i don’t have a baby sis or bro but i have a two year old neice, prepare for headaches!
my addvice is help your mom with stuff. ex dishes getting the dipper bag buculig the baby all kinds of stuf ihave a little sisster my mom needed alot of help even doing londry or dishes helps her!
All I can say is they will steal A LOT of attention usually. I’m not an expert, i only know with my baby cousins, but you will probably have to be prepared to not get as much attention as usual. (And don’t be surprised if you sometimes wake up inn the middle of the night to him/her crying. You might not, but you also could)
Roberta, when your mom said you have to be ready for when the new baby is born she means you need to have everything it needs. It’s like when you get a new pet, you should already have food and toys and stuff for it before bringing it home. You also need to ready for things like lots of crying and diaper changing and 2 am feedings and lack of sleep. Of course, no one is ever completely ready for that! :)
be prepared to share attention
You can put all the things a baby can choke on up high. Plus you can help w/ the diapers.(I know its soo not the best! Girls are the best, but boys are fun too. I have a brother, but he is a dog so he’s fun. Good luck on being a big sister!
Well,I don’t know because I am an only child. Roberta you’re lucky because you are getting a source of entertainment. I get so lonely! :(
I have two brothers and a sister. Two of them are younger than me… Little sisters are REALLY FUN TO HAVE! We ride the horse together, walk the dog and the pig, groom and milk the goats, groom the rabbits the list just goes on and on! Little brothers are fun to have to! My little brother used to take bread out of the fridge ( when he thought that no one was looking) But that was when he was a toddler. When I went to France when I was little ( I am going again this year) My Cousins and I pushed him in a doll stroller! He was a baby though LOL! Hope some of this helps!
I REALLY HOPE ITS A GIRL!!!!!!
I have a 5 month baby sister. Let me tell ya, they have tempers! ;) Be patient with them and give them lots of love!:):)
