21 weeks pregnant... preparing my son to be a big brother
With my pregnancy halfway over (wow! I can't believe it!), I am starting to get excited (yet scared) for my only child to become a big brother. At just 2 years old, his world is going to change dramatically, and at this point, I want to do my best to help with the transition and get him as prepared as I can.
A good friend recently bought me a great book to help with this transition, called "Look who's going to be a Big Brother." (They also make a version for girls.) There are a lot of books out there to help introduce a young child to the prospect of becoming a big brother or sister, but none quite like this. It's not just a book, but a personal journal that you and your child create to tell your own story. I love how it starts with mom's pregnancy and continues throughout the birth of the new sibling, and your child, the big brother or sister, is the star of the book.
It is easy to complete the book -- no real scrapbooking skills are needed! You simply fill in the blanks using a pen or marker, and use tape or a glue stick to adhere photos of your child and family onto the pull-out pages. Each page is laminated and is very sturdy so little hands will have a tough time ripping it. Check out some sample pages of the book and see for yourself!
For the month of February, purchase any journal book (Big Brother, Big Sister, or Look who's moving to a new home, to help with the transition to a new house) and receive free shipping. Use code MWS2.
