Lane is getting too big, too fast and he is about to go through the biggest change of his almost 3 year old life...becoming a big brother! Last Saturday Austin and I took him to the Sibling class at ECM and he learned alot of things about becoming a great big brother and a great big helper (lets just hope he remembers them in April!). He learned how to change a diaper, hold the baby's neck, and how to swaddle the baby. Of course, he was the youngest one there and the only boy (other than a 12 year old). So needless to say, he was very interested in taking the baby apart! LOL Hopefully he will NOT attempt this with Colt! Ha!
After practicing with the babies, the children in the class got to dress up like "doctors" and got to take a tour of the labor/delivery room and the recovery room. Lane was very attentive and hung on the nurses every word as she talked about the IVs that would be in mommy. :) Hopefully letting him see some of the hospital will make him feel more at ease when we return for the big delivery.
Another major change was moving Lane to his Big Boy room. HE LOVES IT!! The log bed is actually a bunk bed, but we are going to wait until he is a little older to add the top bunk. My mom made the curtains, throw pillows, and she painted the painting over the bed. We plan to add a teepee in the other corner of his room with some more throw pillows to use as his "reading corner".
The bow and arrow that is hanging on the wall was made by Pop (Ken) at Halloween. And of course the deer had to stay too (donated proudly by Austin)!
Painting by my mom. Super talented woman!
I think Austin and I were more nervous about moving Lane into a different room, but, we quickly realized that Lane made the adjustment within a matter of seconds! Lane is a great kid, and we can't wait to see what kind of a great big brother he will be!
