Sibling Class

We took Zoe to a sibling class on Monday night. The class was recommended for children ages 3-10, but we took her anyway. In the beginning, they showed a video that she wasn't really interested in watching. We then took a tour of the maternity unit. We explained to her that the first room was where the baby would come out of mommy's belly and the second room would be where mommy would stay with the doctor for a few days.
*On a side note, I was awake all night thinking I would be going into labor. It is a full moon and the unit was full - same senario as when I had Zoe. Obviously, I should have been sleeping, because I'm blogging and still preggers*
We then went back to the classroom and Zoe was able to watch how to diaper a baby. She was very interested in watching this and it was so cute!



Next, she was given a little t-shirt and fabric markers to make a shirt for the baby. The little artist was loving this one! She used every color of marker that was there. :)



In the end, she got a certificate and we told her it was to show that she did good at school and learned how to become a big sister!
I'm so excited to see her with the baby! Everyone says how worried they are about how she will react to a baby....personally, I think she is going to do great. It will be an adjustment for her, but it will be for all of us. I think she is going to be the perfect little mommy :)
