Theme: Preparing Children For Arrival of a New Baby (by Jenny Moyer)
Last night (February 4, 2008) we had a great family home evening. We talked about being nice to our brother and sister. The kids were so cute and really participated. I held up pictures of them and told funny stories about them when they were babies. Then I had them swaddle and cuddle one of their teddy bear dolls and show me some nice things they can do to Mason (our new baby coming on March 27th). It was so cute to watch Taylor pretend the teddy was Mason. She had so much affection written all over her face and was soo gentle.
Activity: Afterwards, I set up an obstacle/golf course in the house using some cans of foods. I made sticks out of cardboard tubes and more cardboard and decorated them like Mickey Mouse. Then Taylor and Cooper played a game of golf around the house with their sticks and ball. They loved it. Taylor was screaming with excitement. It was fun to do that with them.
