The 5 Happy Lee's: Lillian goes to sibling class!

Lillian on Saturday got to attend a sibling class at the hospital. The class was for 3-5 year olds who were expecting a little baby brother or sister. She was very excited to go. Before leaving the house she picked out a baby doll to take with her. I was happy to be able to attend the class with her.

Anywhere I go that involves walking I have to ride in a wheelchair. Lillian really enjoys sitting next to me in the wheelchair and be pushed. It's not so bad when you're the one getting pushed. I remember pushing Sheree around in the wheelchair, and it was awful trying to get that thing around. I do not miss it. I am anxious to go somewhere with her so she can see where I'm coming from....

They started the class with giving each child a toilet paper roll, and some toys. If the toy could fit through the roll it was too small for a baby. If it did not fit in roll it was ok for a baby to have. I loved this idea, and we are going to use this at home.

At the class Lillian got to make two crafts. The first one was a bear with balloons that will get turned into a plate. Second, was a sign to put on the baby's bed in the hospital. After the crafts she got to go see the newborn nursery, and see the babies. I don't think she realized how small a newborn really is. After seeing the nursery they took them into a hospital room to show where I would stay when the baby is born. She was a little bored with that part, because I have already been in the hospital room twice. I think she would have been eligible to give that tour. We finished the class with snack and a movie. I thought it was a great class, and glad I got to attend it with her. I was really sad Kerrington could not go she would've loved it. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
