Ben seems to be grasping this whole baby in Mommy’s tummy idea. (Kind of, sort of). Of course, I don’t expect a 1.5 year old to fully understand. We tell him about the baby, and sometimes he will touch my tummy and softly whisper “bay-bee”. The other night we were at IKEA in the elevator with another couple with young kids. Ben sat in the shopping cart smiling over at the mother. He then lifted up my shirt partially and pointed at my tummy. She said - “Oh, are you showing me the baby!?”  He grinned proudly back at her. It was so sweet, I almost melted right into the $1.29 per square foot TUNDRA hardwood flooring samples covering the elevator floor.

I’d love to be able to share more with him about what is to come. Just wondering if there are any toddler picture books or books that helped you prepare your child for their impending competition younger sibling?
