My oldest was about 3 1/2 when we were explaining to him that he had a sibling coming. He said he wanted a sister, which suggested he had a good idea what was coming, but he really didn't get how it would change his life. The middle one was about 18 months when we explained to him that mommy was having a sister. He knew right away what that meant for him and I think it's b/c he'd only known life with a sibling. Apparently all kids react differently when siblings come home, but my boys were immediately enamored when their baby siblings came home. It's great watching them with each other early on. Very gratifying.I hadn’t mentioned it on here yet. And yes, we are having a boy.
She just turned 2 so we are trying to explain the concept to her. She has a general idea that something is happening with a baby coming and mommy’s tummy, but I’m not sure she grasps the concept of siblings.
Congrats again Ron.
