Re: gift to older kids from baby

    I'm making my two a little goody bag each, with stuff like sticker books, a disposable camera (for them to take photos of the baby), sweets, a puzzle and just generally bits to do when I need "quiet time"! I wanted the gifts to be practical but fun. Il probably stick a "big sister" "big brother" tshirt in there too

    Yes we are doing this. Not exactly sure what possibly a bicycle. Was thinking something big because it's a huge adjustment but nothing too extravagant.

    Last time we did baby doll and shirt. Also let DD1 pick out a present she wanted to get DD2. This time we are done shirts and books. And of course let the girls pick out something to get LO.

    Everyone keeps suggesting this for our daughter... and I like the idea, but there is a high probability that the baby will be born within a week of DD1's birthday... with Christmas only a few weeks later.  I'm thinking that's a lot of gift giving, and hopefully having her birthday right after the baby arrives will make her feel special enough.....

    I was going to do something similar to @mamavbs though, stickers, crayons, and things to keep her busy while I deal with a newborn.

    We are going to do this for DD. I would love to find something sentimental to give to her from the baby but as of now I am drawing blanks.
    So far I plan to get her the Baby Alive doll & the kids version of the Solly wrap since that's what I will be carrying baby in :) I figure that she can be feeding/changing her baby while I do that stuff for the new baby.

    @apritch88 we have the same situation! DD1 turns 2 exactly 1 week before this baby is due and then Christmas is the next month. I'm thinking for her birthday we will get her a baby doll so she can take care of her baby while I'm taking care of her brother or sister.
    That's really all I was thinking of doing. Might make a trip to the dollar store for a new coloring book and stickers maybe, but we won't be doing anything big due to birthday and Christmas.

    No idea what the baby will give to DS. Hoping to figure that out at some point.

    We are going to do this as well. My 4 year old is so excited for her new brother to come and she is anxious to be a part. We are going to get her something small and let her be the person to introduce the baby when people come to visit. I am also taking her to the sibling class at the hospital so she can see where we will be and they talk to them about the new baby stuff.

    My mom will be taking care of DD while I'm in the hospital. I think I will have little surprises my mom can give her each day like stickers, playdoh, I'm a big sister book, etc. I've also read about giving them a baby doll the same sex as the new baby. That way they can take care of the baby doll while you take care of the newborn.

    My kids get a new brother. That's their present! Lol Not doing anything special. They'll be excited to have a sleepover with grandma, and to have company over for the first week or so.
