Evan was way overtired (even though it was like 2hrs before nap time!) and was manic. Kept interrupting the teacher, kept wandering around, eventually turned to yelling. We left half an hour early (before the tour :crying: ) because he was being such a disturbance (which is saying a lot in a room full of 2-5 year olds! I'm so bummed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-class-an-experience#post-2356626 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:53:45 +0000 Pancakes 2356626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did this before DD2 was born and it was a great experience! She even got some newborn diapers to take home to put on her dolls and when DD2 was born the hospital felt somewhat familiar to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sibling-class-an-experience#post-2356577 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 18:52:29 +0000 Mrs. D 2356577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh this is awesome, I wish our hospital offered this.

It was the cutest thing ever so I thought I should share. </p> <p>It's a one hour class ($15) for ages 3-5. This one parent brought a 2 yr old and you could tell he was not into it and cried most of the time. LO is 3 and she loved it! The instructor talked to the kids in a very realistic but age appropriate way. she explained how baby eats in mommy's tummy and what the baby looks like inside. They got to practice diapering and swaddling. My LO has a doll she "diapers" but understood the directions on being gentle and how to lift the baby. She also swaddled like a pro :wink:<br /> They toured the nursery and saw real babies inside all nice and swaddled. The nurses made them feel really special by congratulating them on being a super sibling every time one of them walked by. The class finished with goody bags and a certificate ceremony. </p> <p>Seriously so cute. Hopefully she will remember everything she learned by the time little bro is actually born. </p>
