With each new addition to the family, I have always presented the older sibling(s) with a gift from the new sibling. I think it makes the older sibling(s) feel special at a time when everyone is focusing their attention on the new baby!
T, C, and R will receive their gifts when they meet their new sister for the first time. Typing that last sentence got me so excited - I can't believe my due date is only two weeks away!
C (age 7) will receive a Spiderman Color-Fillz kit and a Hallmark dog wearing a shirt that says, "Fun Big Brother".
R (age 5) will receive a Hallmark bunny with a ballet outfit that says, "Sweet Big Sister," and a mini Moby doll carrier.
T will receive an itunes gift card - he's fourteen!
This is such an exciting time for our family!
