I was just having this sweet and tender discussion with my 3 year old about the new baby. We talk about the baby all of the time, he kisses my stomach and thinks he’s pregnant too. We want to try and prepare the kids as much as possible for all the changes that take place when a new little one arrives and starts sucking up all of your time (not to mention money, boobs, etc.! LOL).
Anyway, I was just saying “Joshy, you know that when the baby comes he’s going to be really small”
“OK mom!”
“Joshy, babies sometimes cry alot when they are little. Will you love the baby and hug him if he cries?”
TA DA…. my son’s honest response
“Baby cries I punch him!”
Oh man, tune in over the next few months to see if we make it through. At least he gave me fair warning!!
