i am iy”h due in about 3-4 weeks, and i was wondering the same thing!!
i keep telling my son (he is just over 2) that mommy has a baby in her belly and soon the baby is going to come out and he is going to be a big brother. hes actually really excited about it, and even “kisses” the baby sometimes.
one thing i am very careful about, though, is to make sure that i dont say the baby is HIS. HE is not having a baby, mommy and daddy are, but HE will be a big brother and a big helper. i know that if i make this baby in any way HIS, then he will become very possessive, as many two year olds do.
i like the idea of spending time with him more than i like the idea of buying things for him. i think anyway spending alone time with each child is important- even if its only 5 or 10 minutes a day. each child, no matter how old they are, should feel like they are getting the attention they need.
