Since life is a big adjustment once a new sibling is born, I wanted to make sure Brayden, who is 4 years old, felt special during the 3 days we were gone at the hospital with his new baby sister. I picked up a few small toys, sticker pads, coloring books...stuff from the dollar section at Target...and wrapped each gift for him to open each day. I usually had one to open at home (noisy toys) and one for him to unwrap when he came to visit us in the hospital. He was so excited each day to open his presents, and I know it showed him that Mommy and Daddy were thinking of him while we were gone.
The first day, I wrapped his Big Brother t-shirt for him to open when he came to the hospital. We had a C-section planned, but I went into labor 2 days prior to the schedule day. Luckily, on the way out the door, I grabbed this package for him to open once he came up to the hospital that night!
Opening his presents at the hospital...
Excited and proud to be a BIG BROTHER!
