Sydney Talk: Big Sister Class

I was complaining that my cast was rough and was scratching me, so mom found some of my old baby leg warmers and used one to cover my cast. Perfect!!! I'm also loving wearing mommy's t-shirts to bed (they're easier to get over my arm / head than my pj's are). Pretty funny looking, huh?

Mommy and I went to a Big Sister class at the hospital tonight. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot! I'm definitely ready for my brother, but am being patient waiting for him to come.

We got to practice changing the baby's diaper (though I've already told mom and dad that I'll help them get diapers, but won't actually *change* a diaper).

We talked a lot about things that babies do and how I can play with the baby. I had a lot of good ideas for the class. We got to watch a fun movie about becoming an older sibling. We even got to color a picture for the new baby and the teacher gave us each a really nice teddy bear. Mom thinks it's supposed to be for me to give to the baby, but I told her that the teacher told us the bears were for the older siblings, so I'm sleeping with the bear tonight :)

After the movie, we got to take a nice tour of the Mother Baby suites at the hospital. I got to see the room that mom will be in (or one like it, at least). We even learned that the rooms have DVD players, so when I go to visit mom, I can maybe watch a movie if we take one. I think it helped answer some of my questions to actually be able to see where my brother will be born (and where I was born, too!) Hopefully he'll be able to stay in the room with mom rather than going to the NICU! But I'm at least a little less apprehensive about mom being in the hospital now that I've had a chance to actually see where she'll be!

Roughly 86 days to go (not that mom's counting or anything...).

After the class, we stopped for dinner at Cheeburger Cheeburger. I made a map of Treasure Island while we waited for our food.
