Final Preparations

We are just three short weeks away (give or take a few days, I hope) from Will's arrival and as part of our preparations we took Benjamin to a sibling's class offered by our hospital.  The nurse tried valiantly to teach the kids how to put diapers on their "babies" (dolls or stuffed animals brought from home) and how to properly hold their babies (not by the leg or ear as some were wont).  Mostly the kids milled around, fighting over the diapers and putting the baby bottles in their own mouths.  I was pretty much chuckling under my breath the whole time.  The kids also got to take a tour of the hospital and see the nursery.  Probably a fruitless exercise, but entertaining all the same...


Here the nurse is showing Benjamin how to diaper his baby, blue bear.

  1. OK, so three weeks away...we want to see a picture of YOU and the soon-to-arrive latest member of the family! Am I the only one?

  2. Yes, a picture of Emily and Will before he gets here. Benjamin looks intent on learning how to diaper blue bear. Great description of the whole event, Emily.
