When you are expecting your second child (or third or fourth…) you wonder how the older sibling will adjust. I remember one of my friends telling me how much her daughter loved taking care of their new baby - her exact words were “little mommy.” Just last night a friend remarked how well Megan and Paul played together. They have their moments but I’m happy to say that they are more than just sister and brother…they are friends.
I hate to put a damper on my proud mama moment but the truth is that I can recall more than one occasion after Paul was born of my then two year old daughter jealously screaming “I want my mommy!” All while I would be standing right next to her. She was especially fond of doing this in public places like the super market. I was afraid that someone would think that I’d kidnapped her!
Welcome to Your World, Baby by Brooke Shields is written from the perspective of a little girl welcoming her baby sister into the family. The story is sweet and girly. It is as much about celebrating sisters as it is about bringing a new baby into the home. Welcome to Your World, Baby is a great tool or conversation starter for any family preparing for the arrival of a new sibling because it focuses on the important role of the older child.

I’m thinking this would be a great gift for me to give to Erica, seeing she is expecting her third daughter.
This sounds like a wonderful book for my little ones for when we have another baby.
I would love this book by Brooke Shields. I heard her stories are lovely. Thank you!
I would love to win, I’ve just been thinking of having a second child lately and don’t know how my 2 year old will act… this could be a HUGE help

We are expecting #2 in March, and though J isn’t going to be old enough to really understand the important role that he’ll have as the big brother, I think this book would be a wonderfult ool to help us get ready.
thanks for the entry, and for your note about missing Fall in Michigan. we’ll be sure to have a good time at the apple orchards tomorrow, but not too much fun to make you too jealous.
What a lovely gift for my niece who is about to become the
“Big Sister!” Please enter me in your delightful book giveaway drawing. I appreciate it. Many thanks…..Cindi
